Also adding GLBC to this list but as a customer for several CL products I wish we would have more protection and isolation for our region. Even we are working in global BGP terms nowadays, that incident makes the idea of a global CSMA/CD switch more attractive. A similar event was on 2019-10-07, when several Level3/CL global routers had rolling reboots. In general and after the CL/L3 merge we have seen a lot of good changes locally. Time to build upon this, act local, think global - a company this size and that is in charge of such "a lot of Internet", also needs to made aware of their responsibility from head to toe. And that can also be done in positive ways. On 30 Aug 2020, at 17:56, Marshall, Quincy wrote:
CenturyLink a network which has a long history of troubles, merged with Level3/TWT/Telcove/etc which had, IMOHO, excellent technical history. They've created some bastard which is less than what Level3 once was. As legacy Level3, I still have most of my original team, but I'm confident that whatever caused CL's messes has worked its way into the works.
