In this specific event, 3356 not withdrawing routes is certainly a head scratcher, and I'm sure for many the thing we're most looking forward to a definitive answer on. However, if a network only has 3356 as their upstream, they are 100% at the mercy of 3356 at all times. Having a redundant AND

I also found the part where they mention that a lot of hosting companies only have one uplink to be quizzical and also the fact that he goes pretty close to implying that its Centurylink’s customers fault for not having multiple paths to Cloudflare that don’t touch Centurylink a bit puzzling.

That's all we can do. Thankfully I work for an org that understands this and has *at least* two fully redundant circuits. Sometimes a third smaller carrier if we can prove that it is diverse, but that isn't the case very often. - Mike Bolitho On Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 7:35 AM Tomas Lynch wrote:

Maybe we should start an "Uptime mailing list" ha! But yeah, when things are working well nobody talks about it. The CTL network is very large. However, it's clear their blast radius mentality isn't real great. We saw this yesterday. We saw this Dec 2018. Global outages shouldn't be a thing. -
