A similar scale outage in Canada ended up costing the company around $3.80 per subscriber ($170MM CAD). Coincidently, I read that's about the same amount that was calculated as impact to the Canadian economy ($175MM). https://www.catchpoint.com/blog/rogers-outage

HN discussionI think TCP's logic is more subtle than "if anything comes in out of order, retransmit", in particular, there's a "Retransmission Timeout" that converges to something like ~2x the average roundtrip latency. I assume that custom UDP-based protocols used by VoIP and such will have similar provisions, where they don't declare a packet "lost" until a significant period of time has elapsed. My understanding is that the r…
