Medium sized regional AS here: I am looking at a fairly large drop in IX traffic charts for our ports that face the IX, updated every 60s, which directly corresponds in time with the beginning of the Youtube outage. (We are not big enough to have a direct, dedicated peering session with the Google/Youtube AS). At any given time of day 4pm-11pm a huge percent of our traffic is Youtube (or netflix, or amazon video, or…

Is any of this info publicly available anywhere?

Just one I found quickly, the UK results are t interesting but check out LINX NoVA https://portal.linx.net/

It seems like the interface is working, but the actual content is failing to load.

At first, the whole interface was failing to load. There was a 500 error message and a monkey with a wrench.

Embedded videos also embed the monkey on play.

I just see a tiny blip (or 2) on Toronto’s IX, but that’s aggregate, not port by port:

Are we going to start a betting pool as to why? I put $20 on DDoS, but I'm hedging $5 that someone spilled their drink on something important and quickly got out of there before anyone noticed.

Wouldn't DDoS be incredibly hard to pull off given YouTubes vast resources? I mean they generate so much traffic all the time and serve so many requests a second I don't know if botnets of that size exist. Anyone here more knowledgeable?

Yeah i feel like a DDoS that big would be afecting other google services right now...

I bet it’s a core network issue since it went down globally at the same time.. they deploy new binaries slowly so that shouldn’t cause it. Maybe some config was changed without testing?
