UUNET/WorldCom Backbone Diffiiculties
FearlessFritz writes "UUnet seems to be having a bad time recently. Several sites in the SouthEast of the US have been slow or down. Here is Worldcom's quote from their web page: 'WorldCom is currently experiencing an interruption of service in various hubs in the U.S. We are working to restore a routing anomaly, and making necessary progress toward resolving this disruption in service.' There are several rumors abounding, but the best is that they performed a hardware upgrade that failed. Is anyone outside of the Southeastern U.S. experiencing the effects of this outage? (I am peered to several providers so I can post!)"
as a sysadmin i know all about the "it's an anomoly" excuse. What? You're monitor doesn't work? It must be an anomoly. In reality I stupidly forgot to plug it in...but you don't EVER tell users it was your fault :P

Internet Traffic Report has a page where you can follow traffic. Sure is a lot of red today.
