Back to a previous thread about this, "down" is relative to
the importance of the resource. If something was affecting
the Internet "globally", then you would need a more
holistic indicator.
I wonder if watching routing tables for route withdrawals or
entire ASN's disappearing would be a useful way to do that.
There are problems with aggregation and null routes, but
it's a start.
If they were able to get route views from multiple sites,
it would be even more useful.
