A bad configuration pushed to network

that's going to be a lot of crew dragon trips to go hold the power button down for 5 seconds on all those satellites to reset to factory default.

Almost always. Most people look at global networks like black magic and don’t realize this.

For most large businesses, 90%+ of major network events are caused by internally-driven network config changes.

Depending on how far along the business is towards automation, a proportion of the 90% can be attributed to a human going “off script” - I.e.: making a change that had not been reviewed.
