I'd like to understand what may be happening in Europe with the KPN/Quest/ebone collapse.
Its my understanding that it carried between 1/4 and 1/3 of the European backbone traffic but as it stands now I've seen no reports of large scale traffic disruptions. From a traffic engineering perspective what does this mean? Is the density of the European mesh so rich that even a major backbone disconnection barely causes a hicup? How have the BGP4 tables adapted? My interest is pure curiosity.
