Just as a sidebar comment, Vern Paxson's paper in this year's ACM SIGCOMM 
conference contains a rather disturbing report and analysis of routing 
behavior and pathologies in the Internet.  His talk contains a number of 
interesting anecdotes similar to the one above, which have always provoked 
amusement (followed shortly by dismay) every time I've heard it.
