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?
