So, would RIPE's RIS project or some of the other route monitoring
projects have noticed this as well? What is a 'major backbone outage'
versus a peering link bounce from their perspective? Could they/should
they monitor and report to some 'central' place when these larger events
happen? What's the cutoff from 'minor' to 'major' event?
