[outages] Congestion between FiOS and ATT & TWCBC around LAX

[Mark Milhollan]

Anyone seeing congestion in the LAX area reaching Verizon (at least 
FiOS)?  I'm seeing packet loss and large RTT via AT&T (AS 7018) and Time 
Warner Business Class (AS 20001).  I only have pictures of the reverse 
paths but they are showing the same sort of losses and significant jumps 
in hop times as my test results (below).

Sorry, I cannot share the destination used below for others to try.  It 
may be that 98.119.130.224 would also experience the same issue -- it is 
local so I can't quite test it the same way but from outside it usually 
experiences the issue, depending whether the hand-off to Verizon is in 
LAX or elsewhere.
