It ain't sabotage till you rule out "misconfigured router". Consider the actual real-world threat models and their likelyhoods: 1) Insufficiently caffienated network engineer - this *NEVER* happens in real life, it's a total Bruce Schneier caliber movie-plot scenario. 2) Somebody sabotaging a RIM router. This is more likely, because there's just *bazillions* of people out there that stand to benefit from a RIM outage (and in fact profit more from an outage than from being able to watch traffic as it goes by). It's just a question of which one of those bazillions did it *this* time. Andrew, you *really* need to learn what the actual failure modes and root causes in real-life production networks are, and draw conclusions from reality, not whatever MI-7 inspired dream world the claim of "sabotage" came from.
