Um, how about, don't buy services from network providers that fail in this

I suppose the question is: "how would you know that any particular
network had this failure mode?"
Ask detailed questions about how their network is architected. Do they
use eBGP multihop anywhere? Do they use BFD on internal Ethernet links?
Do they put their peering links in their IGP, or directly into iBGP?
until, of course, you run into it... as jrc did...
That too.
