So perhaps the question you should be asking is: Why didn't routes for these networks fall over to the other upstream peers which *are* capable of moving the packets? Surely MCI, AT&T, Sprint, and others would carry the packets to the right place. I can see the paths right here....They did, and I'm not down. I see Level 3 via Sprint and GNAPs/CENT just fine.
No, I mean: Why didn't *your upstream's* routes fall back to *their* other peers, who should be perfectly capable of transiting those packets? The thinly veiled implication there is that "full mesh" is not a long term effective way to run the backbone level transit, because dropping one peer without an alternate path means that we get broken transit.
