flapping is when a circuit goes up and down in rapid succession. BGP will automatically roll traffic to another provider if it sees a circuit go down, but if it flaps like that, BGP gets confused and does not roll the traffic. Any traffic on those circuits are affected which means that about 40% of our traffic could not go anywhere until we manually removed the provider
