Certainly, UUnet has admitted they have a congestion problem. We started
seeing it during the Scottsdale conference. When reported to UUnet Canada
they stated the following.
"We have serious congestion between Buffalo NY and Cleveland Ohio on a DS3
between the sites." They have a OC3 circuit on order to the DC area to peer
near the Mae-East on AS701. Last update I had they stated the circuit was
delayed due to US local loop issue and should be up by month end. In the
meantime they are trying to reroute traffic internally to relieve the
problem. I don't have any report on the progress of that measure.
Hope that helps
