L3 burp today - what happened?

Anyone know what happened to L3 during the last hour? They
seem to have developed an appetite for dropping packets
in San Jose for customers on the Genuity portion of their
network, but I'm curious if anyone has a slightly more
detailed explanation about the failure.

The failure seems to have started at 17:09 and ended at about 17:51 EST.

I have a report that a customer can ping his destination just fine but
cannot send TCP packets to it. His traceroute also shows most every
other hop with *s.

Very strange.

Yo David!

The failure seems to have started at 17:09 and ended at about 17:51 EST.

Not over for me at 15:13 PST. Getting 38% packet loss here:
   so-3-3-0.edge1.SanJose1.Level3.net

They are still blocking my ICMPs through their net.
