I just heard that NPR is about to do a piece on this - it should air in
a few minutes...

I'm still failing to see why this required a $3M forklift of new
equipment
to correct the problem. Was this just Cisco sales pouncing on
someone's
misfortune as a way to push new stuff?
Environments with a STP diameter of 10+ are unlikely to have the
necessary
equipment on-hand to make a L3 campus network that adheres to current
best
practices. Nevertheless, it is TAC policy to get the customer the
equipment
that is needed to solve the problem, and Sales handles any monetary
issues
later after the network is stable.
One might also consider if there was a campus upgrade plan already in
the
works and this event merely altered the timeline for implementation.
