Re: AS7018 upstream loss via 32.130.88.22 (SF Bay Area) — per-flow, unidirectional

[Al via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

Maybe Josh fixed it, but I'm not seeing packet loss here.
Odd that traceroutes stop at the 32.130...
Because of that I cannot see if I am transiting 32.130.88.22 → 
32.130.20.157 or not.
