It's ok if they are destroyed, but there should be enough fallback networks to route over. In the case of Taiwan that wasn't possible.

In Europe and the USA, that wouldn't happen cause there are more IX's so if one dies the packets are routed of the others.

But still, when AMS-IX went down during the black-out on the SciencePark half the internet wasn't accesable.

But I guess that was just a configuration error by the ISP's that they didn't switch to other IX's yet, so half the packets were dropping.
