Sprint is quite correct. CRL's netblocks are flapping and getting dampened by the routers. The problem is not local to Sprint - MCI routers are reporting the flapping as well, but are not dampening them out as aggressively as Sprint's are. I'll try to remember to copy some of the flap stats over here the next time it's having problems. CRL would be well advised to correct the problems with their router. -Dave Andersen > Here is Sprints response (in my ISPs words).
