Jay, I previously ran the engineering org over there, so sent this to my old team to look at, including the best 
engineer I know in regard to the RADs. Will pass along anything they come back with.

Thanks,
-Jeff

We have a strange issue that defies logic. We have a NNI at our POP with Frontier serving as an aggregation circuit 
with different customers on different VLANs. It's working well to several customers.

Bringing up a new customer shows roughly half of the IP addresses unreachable across the link, as if there's some 
kind of load-balancing or hashing function that's mis-directing half of the traffic. It's consistent, if an address 
is reachable it's always reachable. If it's not reachable, it's never reachable. Everything ARPs fine.

The Frontier circuit is layer 2 so shouldn't care about IP addresses. Frontier tech shows no trouble. They changed 
the RAD device on-premise. We've triple-checked configurations, torn down and rebuilt subinterface, etc. with no joy.

Any suggestions?
