You're leaving 701. BR's are exit points toward a peer. If you go through a BR you are into a peering connection. That connection may be messed up, and sure that's their problem. But you'll get a lot further asking the right question is there a problem with 701-X peering in the south-east. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Oleary [mailto:col@pobox.com] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 6:05 AM To: nanog@merit.edu Cc: Bryan Heitman; Christopher L.

wow.. what are you trying to get to? This looks like it entered 701 on hop 6 and exited at hop 8 to some other network which sttms to have some delivery problems of its own.
