Some (all?) of those are at Ames. Since Genuity is at 55 S. Market, my suspicion rests on the FIX/MAE OC3. Perhaps it's cycling, or perhaps it is now congested enough that the BGP keepalives aren't getting through (though I thought everybody was running an IOS late enough that BGP keepalives had queuing priority over customer traffic, to prevent just this problem.)

i wasnt' aware that bgp keepalives had a queuiing priority... or are you talking about spd? -brett
