|  Cause was IPV6 conversion causing network routing problems
Google this morning attempted to make changes to key Internet routing numbers--known as autonomous system numbers--as part of its ongoing transition from an older networking standard to a newer one called IPv6. An unknown "bug" inside Google's network involving some sort of hardware failure or glitch prevented Internet service providers from finding Google's new ASNs on the Internet--effectively sealing it off from many customers, he said.
AT&T or Verizon--appeared to be disproportionately hurt because large ISPs "peer" with Google, or interconnect their networks with Google's networks in order to improve speed and reduce bandwith costs, Alperovitch said. They can use that old saying: "Temporary disruption; but permanent improvements". | |

| No part of this is vague... "An error in one of our systems caused us to direct some of our web traffic through Asia, which created a traffic jam," says Google SVP or Operations, Urs Hoelzle.
No part of that quote is vague, unless you wanted IP routes and addresses. It says that they screwed up a route and sent some (probably a lot) of web traffic through Asia (during the day time in the Western world) and that choked a pipe in Asia...
So, I dunno, no part of that is vague to me... but what do I know, I'm not a journalist. | |

| Talk about bad timing... I've been having a signal war with Alltel/Verizon/Sprint (Alltel can't use Sprint towers to roam anymore...and I was affected), I'd just installed a Cradlepoint router and was working out the kinks...and Google goes down. I was tearing my hair out, thinking I'd screwed up yet ANOTHER setting, and it was all Google.

It will take time, but eventually they will be relegated to a place in the market which they deserve and have earned on their merits. It will always be a significant place, but it will not be the dominant place. | |

| nostradamus sez.... Google was down totally for fios here in socal from 730 am to about 10am
look everyone claims 99.99% uptime. they dont like to say .o1% downtime. But you gotta squeeze that in somewhere. If humans touch it there is no such thing as 100% perfect.
Google is free and makes Yahoo and MS look like 1997 internet. (the pre-cambrian period)
We just need to have redundancy and backups built in. That is why I have two other email providers other than google. Just like verizon or earthlink or anyone else, they do tend to go down.
What is funny is when these "hiccups" (f-ups) come along now in any system (like oh say the financial system) we are all on their ass in 30 seconds with email, bloggs and now tweets. As soon as I saw google was down I said oh man will they have hell to pay today. Someone will face a firing squad. | |

| outsourcing Rerouted over Asia - coincidence? Maybe, maybe not?
It seems that's what you get from outsourcing to Asia.
You get people writing code, whose only code writing experience is that of copying their homework assignments from the guy next to them in school.
Somebody probably ended up hard-coding Asian routing information into some piece of software.
And since QA is either outsourced too or just skipped entirely these days, no one catches the mistake until after implementation... | |
