I did not report it.

I agreed to exchange information with the 
researchers when they work on the next version of 
their paper as our past discussion was 
amicable.  The accuracy or mistakes (if there is any) does not affect me.

The article does not discuss about why the 
network was down for two days as that happened 
afterwards.  I would not describe an IX handling 
the level of traffic of one FTTH user as 
functional.  I would also not say that for an IX 
which is not keeping local traffic local as I do 
not wish to be the one explaining about that if 
there is an inquiry about the funds which were 
spent on the IX.  Should a /22 (IPv4) be reserved for a white elephant? :-)
