I looks like it is going to SDN and Airstream for the most part.

There are two short term solutions;

1. move those to the CNS switch, I have Copper SFPs I can loan if necessary.
2. I can stop announcing those AS to the Akamai route collector.

The longer term solution is to get the Juniper switches installed.
