since we're reminiscing, we did this at dallas ietf in 1995, i think
it was (yes, http://merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2000-11/
msg00222.html). we had hit a timer bug in is-is that was causing
routers to lose adjacencies. ravi sat down at a terminal, found the
bug in the code, compiled a new image, and we loaded and "rebooted
the network" that evening. nasty, but fun. we don't seem to have
fun like this anymore.
(maybe it wasn't as simple as ravi "finding the bug", but i do seem
to remember he fixed this in short order)
