Backbone routers don't usually deal with hostnames or DNS. This is pretty much saying they done broke BGP. And it sounds like they're saying that they broke it in a way that prevented accessing their data centers from the PoPs, and we know from the long downtime that it prevented accessing the BGP configuration system from darn near anywhere.

It happened to also kill the announcements for anycast DNS.
