Robert,

The Fuzzball logs on net 128.4 and various other places near the NSFNET
Bluebone are also showing unstable routes, sometimes intermittent
ICMP unretchables and other times ICMP time exceededs. The problem has
been growing slowly worse over the last few weeks. Seen from here
one or more of the Fuzzball time servers drops off the Earth only to
replanet a few minutes or hours later. Also, there is a rising tide
of ICMP unmentionables coming from distant gateways, rather than
nearby EGP gateways on ARPANET, so things are certainly unstable somewhere
in space. Finally, the rate of ARPANET error messages, especially to
a few gateways, is growing steadily worse. I conclude PSNs for those
gateways may be sinking slowly in the muck.

This report is certainly much less specific than yours; however, you may
find whatever corroboration useful.
