Hey Level 3

What ever happened to redundancy?

Isn't this what a properly configured routing protocol supposed to avoid?

Oddly I didn't notice this and I'm a direct L3 customer. That suggests to me that this was a bundle where L3 is selling capacity to others.

Perhaps you should complain about those folks buying fiber from L3 and not getting any redundancy (hello Cogent).

Everything *DID* converge around it. The problem is that Internet traffic is like a river -- if you stop the flow at one location that traffic is just going to go somewhere else. When 140+Gbit (80Gbit for Cogent and Telia has claimed 60Gbit) is forced to find another path there's bound to be issues.
