It also seems like a question that could be decided empirically. Can anyone on here comment on whether or not the BGP session ended gracefully and the link lights remained lit?

There has been intense debate both inside and outside Egypt on whether
the
cutoff at 26 Ramses Street was accomplished by surgically tampering with the software mechanism that defines how networks at the core of the Internet communicate with one another, or by a blunt approach: simply cutting off the power to the router computers that connect Egypt to the outside world.
I do remember some intense debate, here and elsewhere, but I somehow don't remember those as being the primary debate parameters.
