Some of our peers have been dropping BGP a bit more often lately.
Somebody had a real bad day on Tuesday.

Here's a list giving the number of disconnects (where there were
5 or more disonnects per day). The majority of flapping seems to be
at Mae-East and Mae-West.

The July 18 problem was mostly concentrated over one 3.5 hour period
of continuous flap.

Any clues from NASA and ESNET as to why this instability occurred at
Mae-east? Was this some form of BGP meltdown or just hardware trouble
at or getting to the Mae?
