Yet, it is reasonable that people expect x % of their traffic to use IX's. If those IX"s are gone then they will need to find another path, and may need to upgrade alternate paths. I guess the question is. At what point does one build redundancy into the network. I suspect its a balancing act between reducancy, survival (network) and costs vs revenues. not sure I'd call it a "poor job" for not planning all possible failure modes, or for not having links in place for them.

The major networks should have designed their networks to route around this. If not - they have done a poor job. For others, the exchange points should be a way merely to off-load their transit connections. However - there is a point in what you are saying, from a national point of view - the exchange points should independently take care of traffic in the case a nation is isolated. But I don't think any of the above are designed for that in the first place... - kurtis -
