Internet routing is supposed to be resilient and able to use redundant paths, but it's really quite fragile. One router having a bad day can cause a knock-on effect which affects multiple routers across the 'net.
Even rebooting a router (for example, to change the memory config) involves a risk of a SNAFU, so it's not something that would be done routinely, although I would imagine there will be a lot of them rebooted in the near future
