how to recover from vBNS outage this afternoon

[Tony Rimovsky]

In general, when we are actively working a problem, I would prefer that you
leave the native stuff up.  If the traffic disapears, it makes it hard to
fix the problem at all.  

In terms of time and impact, dialogue on the moo is probably the best way to
figure out which way to go.  if the audience impact is huge and it seems we
should go that way and fix the routing problems later, speak up.  more than
likely, I will defer to your opinion about that kind of prioritization
unless significant progress is being made and a fix seems forthcomming.

The main issue is that each multicast failure is a little unique and each
site has its own issues, all of which combine to make it hard to pin down an
answer to your question.
