This was the longest outage in the past few years (5 hours). I'd like more info about what happened to ThePlanet. What measures are now in place to prevent this from happening again?
Apparently, this was a BGP config problem on ThePlanet's end of things, and it only affected the 64.5.x.x range. Once they corrected the problem it took a while for the new BGP routing info to propagate.
ThePlanet takes network problems very seriously and I'm sure they've implemented checks to prevent this from happening again.
