[outages] Major Level3 (CenturyLink) Issues

[Charles Sprickman]

Starting around 6:15 Eastern or so noticed that BGP was still up with them, but no traffic between a home fios address in NJ and our L3 Transit. We have since turned down transit and regained connectivity.

Initially I was able to reach some IPs (eg: 4.2.2.1) from Choopa and Cologix, but now it’s not reachable anywhere I have access.

Lots of chatter on Twitter from geographically diverse accounts...

Additionally, Cloudflare is reporting a problem, but it’s not clear if that’s related to CenturyLink customers reporting issues or not:

+++++
Update - Cloudflare is investigating an increased level of HTTP 5xx class errors. 

We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly.

Investigating - Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers. Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available.
