What happened on December 11(12)
Because several different people have contacted me about this, I wanted to re-check my facts. Last tuesday/wednesday had a few blips affecting connectivity around the net. - Telstra (Australia) had a backbone network routing meltdown disrupting traffic to/from/within Australia for several hours. Timezone, so this happened wednesday in Australia? - AT&T had a fiber cut in Montana - Sprint terminated peering with Conixion (home of Microsoft Windows Update). Conixion restored traffic via other routes later in the day. Before people forward my e-mail again, did I make any gross errors which I should correct?

I didn't notice any outage here in Australia. That means it was most likely only Telstra's international link(s) and not their standard domestic meltdown (which is when they accidentally inject 20k-100k routes into AS1221 - it's happened 2 or 3 times over the past 2 and a bit years, when Telstra have an international link cut or other outage they have accidentally bloated AS1221 by 100k routes taking out Optus and others who would have been otherwise unaffected).
