Need help from UUNet's routing specialist!

Dmitry,

We (as8470) are Teleglobe customer. And we experience terrible
delays on Teleglobe to UUNet interconnect points. Teleglobe's customer
support engineers insist, that the problem caused by UUNet's routes
prioritization.
But I belive that this assymetric routing initiated by Teleglobe, not
UUNet.

We are a TGO customer as well and we do not see the problem. Here's a
traceroute:

Perhaps this is fixed?

Could you please send me 'sh ip bgp 195.128.65.33' performed at
Serial3-1-1.GW1.DCA3.ALTER.NET (157.130.39.89).

I am expecting to see communities or MEDs set at TG router that lowres
route priority and makes traffic to go back via _Seattle_Denver_Chicago_NY_.
Any help is _greatly_ appreciated!

No, it's not. We're fighting for 2 weeks already :frowning:
BTW, we're plugged into TG in NY...
