AS852 - AS577 problems ?

[Mike Tancsa <mike () sentex net>]

Anyone know what is up between them in Ontario, Canada ?  I am seeing 
pretty high latency and packet loss in both directions.  Dont know if its a 
chronic capacity problem or just a dead/down circuit ?

Bell's looking glass showed (prior to my prepending)

i.e. as soon as it hits Bell's network, there is quite a jump in latency 
and packet loss.

Some of the paths to 577 out of Telus actually go down via Sprint in 
Chicago which seems rather odd
e.g.
