But it isn't an outage. My monitoring point in Singapore could reach both ends, they just couldn't talk to each over, due to a routing issue on a third party network over the internet. On my own network which I control I accept that if a circuit breaks I'll have a 1, maybe 2 second outage while traffic reroutes. For some of my services that's would be a problem, for others it's not. If facebook loads 2 seconds later, nobody cares. If the winning penalty in the world cup final blacks out, that's a big problem.
