Our interface peers to them in Boston were fine, but we couldn't reach their
loopbacks from which we receive the full routing table.  This lasted from about
11:04am to 11:09am, with another 10 minutes or so for the table to propogate 
down.  According to Cogent, they are aware of the event and tracking it 
under master ticket #571-555.
