That's about what we experienced. After about 45 hours they finally
managed to bring our service back up. :-/ Our problem is that when it
did come back up (assuming on the protect side of the ring) our first
hop latency to Level3 was through the roof, so we decided to keep our
BGP peer shutdown until things completely cleared up. Unfortunately
for us I think there is a lot of "legacy" pre-Level3 network between
us in Albany and 60 Hudson/111 8th in NYC... a lot of stuff that
probably isn't well documented or maintained. (thus, the 40+ hour
outage)
