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.

I'm betting it has to do with video indexation.

I was watching a long video just fine, then I searched for something else and clicked on one result. Error message.

Doesn't really show much of a change right now, nor does the aggregate chart for the SIX in Seattle. The largest downstream/eyeball networks that take Youtube traffic do it via PNIs with them so you won't see that in an IX fabric traffic chart. For example the Google/Youtube AS exchanges traffic with Comcast directly by their own dedicated ports, no IX involved.

Indeed it's not showing the Youtube issue for the reason you mentioned. Still relevant to the question above :)

I had a couple youtube tabs open from this morning, the videos still play and it's not cached, the videos are hours long. But any new videos aren't working.
