Earlier quoted context omitted.

For more details, click on the links http://www.internettrafficreport.com/europe.htm http://www.internettrafficreport.com/asia.htm http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm To see an outdated list of mail servers and routers. For example, in Europe core1-gig2-0.bletchley.ukcore.bt.net is down. Sounds pretty "core routing" doesn't it? Shame that the DNS name doesn't resolve, so lets mark it as 100% packet loss…

Are there any better sources?

The best sources are normally specific to one network, for example AT&T have a very informative network status page where you can select a US city and see network performance from it to other cities around the US and the world.

Akamai has some pretty nice Internet visualizations:

Well, latency's not up: http://www.internetpulse.net/ , but they also don't see the same packet loss: http://www.internetpulse.net/Main.aspx?xAxis=Destination&#38...

This by far is a superior source for what is happening.

The posted source seems to be of no value.

Actually you probably wanted to link to the top comment in that thread that has some actual information from a NOC operator: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/of0lu/wtf_is_goin...
