Did they try disconnecting it and connecting it again? (India customer service)

Street construction backbone cuts happen all of the time. I work for the biggest carrier network in the world, we saw impact from this, but a single L3 DNS node is not the end of the world. We live and work in a redundant world of redundancy world.

Intentional? Possibly...that happens all of the time as well. We usually see 5-10 cases a year that we can pin and prove on sabotage.

Years like this year where the CWA strike, and then leave the picket line to drive home in their Mercedes, it can climb 10 fold..people are dumb.

This particular cut hit only Google services. Yahoo and other competitors services surged in use during the outage (which was short-lived, a few hours, before Google had a reroute).

It struck during primetime, after construction and work day hours were over.

Its being called a cyber terror attack on underground tech discussion forums for the aforementioned reasons and apparent specificity of the targeting. They resolved a list of available DNS against a list of competitors which came out looking very suspicious. This DNS node carried all the big dogs and didn't hurt a single small dog.

Google has a lot to answer for...other than making shithead youtubers millionaires.

Just saw this.

Your welcome. It only took me 4 hours on the phone, with 3 support level escalations, and 2 separate phone numbers to call before I could get the raw facts on this L3 outage.

I stayed on the phone all night in front of my PC for you guys. They were hesitant to tell me anything in level 1. Level 2 was much more talkative but still holding back. When I got to level 3, it was smooth sailing but it took me the better part of an evening.

still here and working on it

Here again looking for more data.
