Problems with UUnet and Sprint peering

[Anthony Pardini <tony () cmpu net>]

Is anyone else having problems sending taffic between UUnet and Sprint ?

This has been occuring for a least a week and so far I've just gotten the
Its Sprint / Its UUnet run around.  

The problem is that there is too much traffic 40+Mbit/s each way between
these two routers.   144.232.4.13 (sprint) and 137.39.166.121 (uunet)


Any suggestions on getting this resolved?  or who handles the peering
agreements between these two companies?
