[outages] Level 3 issues....again

[Mitch Patterson]

Final notes from them. Any one still seeing issues? My direct level 3
circuits look good on a spot check. Still having issues with a ISP that has
Level 3 as their only major upstream

*** CASCADED EXTERNAL NOTES 13-Feb-2014 10:32:49 GMT From CASE: 7538219 -
Event A packet loss issue impacted IP Services across multiple markets in
the North America. The Technical Service Center worked with the IP NOC to
develop a configuration change to a larger group of customers to expedite
restoration. After the configuration change was run, teams validated the
deployment success to ensure stability. The Operations Engineering team
reported that the configuration change that was developed was successful in
resolving the packet loss issue. It was communicated that the issue has
resolved and services have restored. If additional issues are experienced,
please contact the Level 3 Technical Service Center.
