Ep. 17 Cogent's Outage and Telstra's Weekend DNS Mishap Prove Not All Outages Are Equal

This is the Internet Report, where we uncover what’s working and what’s breaking on the Internet—and why. On this week’s episode, Archana and I discuss a small number of outages that hit certain regions of the globe over the past week. This includes an outage that caused a midday disruption for people trying to connect to Reddit, a weekend DNS issue at Telstra, and a Cogent outage in EMEA and NA that had the signatures of a maintenance window. We also revisit Cloudflare’s root cause analysis concerning their recent DNS outage and answer some of the open-ended questions we had.
