Well whatever it was, I suspect it's not as high on the stupid list as running
BGP over a GRE tunnel over a cable modem for backup.

The backup link for my house is a GRE tunnel over a cable modem so I've
got some reasonably accurate times for the faults.
Our path (from Sheffield) into VM's network is via Level3 in
Manchester, the return path always seems to be via London despite my
best efforts to jog it so that doesn't happen.
I've removed some of the verbosity from these log lines as only the
timestamp and the up/down status are what we care about:

It's going to be some weird telco nonsense isn't it.
