NetRail Issue at MAE-West

["Joe Budion" <jjbiv () buckeye-express com>]

NetRail's NOC currently has ticket 636 open for an outage at MAE-West.  At least one NSP (SprintLink) continues to 
route traffic into the black hole of NetRail at MAE-West (the two also peer at AADS and other spots.)  An equipment 
swap is needed to repair the equipment in question.  Time required is unknown.  This has been a day-long outage thus 
far.  They claim to still be working the issue/ticket.

...very flaky...  It takes a different route every minute ;-)  Unfortunately only one of the three passes traffic at an 
acceptable rate...
