Hi Tim,

Just tracerouted your ip and saw a hop in the same location:

11. xe-0-0-1.mpr1.den1.above.net      0.0%    32   59.6  60.0  59.3  70.6   1.9
12. 208.185.20.58.t01657-09.above.ne  0.0%    32   59.7  60.3  59.4  76.0   2.9
13. den1-edge-01-lag2.360.net        46.9%    32   60.6  63.0  60.3  95.1   8.3
14. 66.62.160.42                      0.0%    32  200.1  79.1  65.9 200.1  37.1
15. static-65-19-63-33.cybermesa.com  0.0%    32  248.4  80.9  67.8 248.4  41.3

Hop 13 was one of the links we were hitting and seeing alot of latency
and loss, also noticed its acronym LAG maybe this was some kind of
weird LACP failure

Anyway after checking your side and seeing it was normal, I retested
and the issue appears to be resolved for me in both directions

So either someone on here silently bumped the issue and got it fixed
or softlayer was able to resolve this after my ticket

Either way, thanks!
chris
