I have a (possibly naive) question..

The peering between above.net <=> bbnplanet.net seems to have (at least)two 
states..

  (1) "abysmal"  (500..800 ms latecies)
					:
 9  dfw-lax-oc3.dfw.above.net (208.184.102.154)  59.474 ms  59.657 ms  59.794 
ms
10  s3-0-6.crtntx1-cr1.bbnplanet.net (4.24.104.21)  758.127 ms  745.747 ms  
741.110 ms
					:


  (2) "tolerable" (50..100 ms latencies)

					:
 8  lax-sjc-oc3.lax.above.net (216.200.0.165)  16.479 ms  16.523 ms  16.183 ms
 9  dfw-lax-oc3.dfw.above.net (208.184.102.154)  61.052 ms  58.664 ms  59.898 
ms
10  s3-0-6.crtntx1-cr1.bbnplanet.net (4.24.104.21)  62.212 ms  67.094 ms  
65.389 ms

..with it being in state#1 for days at a time, and then suddenly being in 
state #2 for a while (a few hours to a day or so). This has been going on for 
months at least. Anybody have any idea what's up here? Has anyone else noticed 
this?

today it exhibited a new state #3 for several hours: "near-death" (2000..3000+ 
ms latencies), after thankfully being in state #2 for a few hours. *sigh*.

Isn't this affecting at least a few other folks? 

thanks,

JeffH
