Hai!
Mark, mistakes and oopses happen. No problem at all. I understand that compl=
etely. There is human faillure and this happenes.=20
A simple 'sorry' would have done. Yet their whole message tells 'they did ok=
' In my very limited view they did NOT ok. Did i misread?
I am also very much looking how level3 is going to prevent things like this.=
But out of own experience they will not. We have seen before that they impl=
emented filtering based on customer lists. But not a per customer filter. Th=
ey did this globally. So any l3 customer can announce routes of another l3 c=
ustomer. While this can be changed this outage tells there is certainly room=
for improvements.=20
I hope people will learn from what happened and implement proper filtering. T=
hats even more important then a message from a operator that didnt even unde=
rstand fully what they caused to the internet globally.=20
Thanks,
Raymond Dijkxhoorn
