#222Medium 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).

#229I 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.
