I saw the same thing.

Looked like the old MaeWest and MaeEast setups back a few years ago when those 2 router banks would take down a whole side of the North American continent because they were overloaded or a bad storm took out power.

Sprints looking Glass web site was all sorts of wierd last night. Their BGP updates were through the roof [X(] trying to compensate for the latency and loss.

Someone probably cut a line out west or a major router lost an interface or 2 and someone forgot to clear ARP after replacing it. In short routing was all screwed up.
