RFCs 832-839 and 842-848 have results of tests of TCP availability run by Dave Smallberg around the time of the flag day.  As for “important”, that was a matter of opinion. ;) Some people were unhappy about partial or total loss of some of the “popular" mailing lists such as human-nets, sf-lovers, and unix-wizards when sites running and/or gatewaying those lists were partially or totally unavailable.
