Maybe related to the 512k route issue? http://www.bgpmon.net/what-caused-todays-internet-hiccup/
I've seen people reboot to recover from TCAM exception without adjusting TCAM size only to run into the issue all over again. It's a fun way to watch the problems roll around the network.
In this case, it would probably have "helped" in the same way as rebooting or waving a rubber chicken or whatever sometimes "helps": the route issue was caused initially by a problem at Verizon that caused them to deaggregate, which they fixed, so by the time someone had identified the problem, paged someone, gotten them to the data center, had a teleconference, rebooted the device, waited for it to come back up... Verizon would have fixed it, so when it came back up it'd be back under 512k again.
