Ok so you are differentiating between transit and end traffic, despite 
the fact that several "eyeball" networks source/sink way more packets 
than any ISP nowadays.  I can see the value of this differentiation (if 
I squint), maybe we need a eyeball-outages to better separate the two?  
Or is there one I'm not aware of?  I'm tired of hearing about single 
circuit outages, but I'm super tired of all the whinging.
