So perhaps the question you should be asking is: Why didn't routes for these networks fall over to the other upstream peers which *are* capable of moving the packets? Surely MCI, AT&T, Sprint, and others would carry the packets to the right place. I can see the paths right here....
They did, and I'm not down. I see Level 3 via Sprint and GNAPs/CENT just fine.
No, I mean: Why didn't *your upstream's* routes fall back to *their* other peers, who should be perfectly capable of transiting those packets?
Who is Level3's upstream? Who is Cogent's upstream? (Actually, I know the answer to that, but it's for partial connectivity, not full) You seem to be confusing peering with transit...
