It's not a dispute, it's a dollar$ decision on behalf of Sprint and/or MFN.

Found an interesting one.  Sprint no longer has a "full" looking glass,
just this:

http://oxide.sprintlink.net/cgi-bin/glass.pl

But it shows Sprint reaching 8059 via MFN, even with the prepends.  Is
there a Sprint/Level3 peering dispute that I'm not aware of?  Might
someone from Sprint comment on this privately?

Thanks,
