Might have been a 3 sec outage but I can tell you that AS3333 (RIPE) was
offline from where I stand and all the looking glasses and route servers I
checked for approx 15 mins.. Most routes had 3-5 flaps for AS3333 entries.
So I'm not surprised that there was a dip after this for traffic via AMS-IX
(it being RIPE or any other network via AMS-IX)
