Re: Hey Level 3

said by lesopp:

What ever happened to redundancy?

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