The Sky Has Fallen...While some might credit this to the coming bandwidth apocalypse... Yeah, the outage was all because of the ::LOOMING:: bandwidth apocalypse. The only people who will swallow that are clueless whores representatives and the corporate lobbyists who own them. | |

Google was out for me yesterday and HP was out today.
Well, Google worked over my VZ DSL but not my MetroE. BGP issues? | |

no, but it is one of two acceptable answers based on population density in Asia: China and India. the Maldives would have been an unacceptable answer. | |

Cause was IPV6 conversion causing network routing problems» news.cnet.com/8301-1023_ ··· 1_3-0-20Google 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". | |

Never down ... HAH!You know, Google Co. sure has had their share of outages over the past 6-8 months.
Seems like it started when one of their GSA reps was in our building touting how we should dump our in house Exchange platform (and Office) for their always on, always available system (yes, yes, I know, not quite the same thing ... but still..). | |

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. | |

Include NYCMe and my friend had no gmail here in Brooklyn / Manhattan. Both of us though were routed to a temporary unavailable errors and what to look for. But that did not fix the issue as google was having it. Like to add google.com was not resolving instantly but reported by my friend. | |

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.
There ain't enough aspirin on the planet to erase THAT headache. | |

Thankfully, Microsoft is gradually loosing ground to better programmers, better systems, and better software. 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. | |

outsourcingRerouted 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... | |
