Luckily this sort of breakage does not happen very often. Unluckily, if it does break, if can be really hard to diagnose.
Especially in the presence of a TelCo-supplied level 2 switching fabric like Frame Relay, SMDS, or ATM.
No kidding. Or ethernet briding over ATM PVCs. Think of OSPF or ISIS and designated routers on not quite ethernets and the interesting things that can happen in face of partial connectivity (or half duplex PVCs). -:) --asp@partan.com (Andrew Partan)
