Widely discussed on outages@outages.org list (hint!) but for those not yet list members over there, 13 or more states in southeast US affected, reportedly routing / layer 3 issue, possibly BGP to outside but not clear. Some service restorations discussed. George William Herbert Sent from my iPhone On May 7, 2013, at 9:54 AM, Jason Lester <jlester@wcs.k12.va.us> wrote:
Does anyone know what is going on with the nationwide CenturyLink outage? Their NOC recording says it is a BGP routing issue with their upstream peers affecting Internet traffic and traffic between regions. Our outside connectivity with them has basically been down since about 4:00AM (EDT) this morning. The prefixes we were receiving from them were fluctuating between a few hundred and a few thousand all morning. We are getting the full BGP table from them now (for about the last hour), but still not seeing any incoming traffic. Seems like a major issue since it has been almost 9 hours now.
