It is not just you.  We are seeing issue with that Level3 router/site as 
well.

I would report it to Level3, but I don't see any need to add to my 
already extensive collection of one line Level3 support responses saying 
"All is well.  Nothing to see here.  All is well."

My guess would be that your up/down for individual IPs is a result of 
your testing methodology. That Level3 router/site appears to be dropping 
some packets to all IPs that I tested before dropping my conn there.

Our response to the nearly constant Level3 issues of the past 12/18 
months has been terminate them.  The washington1.level3 site was 
unfortunately the last on my list of DCs.
