I seriously doubt L3 would have to do anything but revert to the last  
known good configuration.

If Cogent has done anything to those BGP configurations, they're not  
only being silly, but they are being disingenuous, since they said  
they left the configs in place.

Of course, that only gets the bits flowing, it doesn't solve the  
underlying issue.
