What happened could be:
a) they were smoking something and indeed decided to use EIGRP rather than
BGP.
b) they were testing out 4 byte ASNs and had a software issue in their IOS
c) someone in Cisco wanted to download a new IOS and got frustrated with
their new site so he/she pulled the plug. Kudos to that brave Cisco
employee.
