Given that the technical resources at the NYSE are significant and the lengthy duration of the outage, I believe this is more serious than is being reported.
My personal, totally zero-info suspicion: Some chuckleheaded NOC banana-eater made a typo, and discovered an entirely new class of wondrous BGP-wedgie style "We know how we got here, but how do we get back?" network misbehaviors.... (Such things have happened before - like the med school a few years ago that extended their ethernet spanning tree one hop too far, and discovered that merely removing the one hop too far wasn't sufficient to let it come back up...)
