Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Is this not indicative of the drop of traffic in Australia?

Do they encrypt the server side error stack trace? 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them): APkpgMWbWQ3LvimPoFynDB0W8VeUJ9ECiPcDCm8L0Qiku1I2TbAShWp- taKn-AzOGigwq0sU4oe9mbWb2Bwv4BK37C5xOAL7qm11fHn4L0swqhLk wbcnyKH2HM3AQNf-ucVsolyigJTNKA2SSNUMV…

Yes, they do. Pretty clever idea, I think.

I have never seen Youtube not work. Ever. This is a special moment. Glad you are all here to share it with me :)

I am proud to say that in 2008 my country knocked this puny website off the interwebs in a bid to censor it within the country. They accidentally hijacked the global IP addresses[0] I am also proud to say that my country left the domain for their original Internet Exchange Point[1] unregistered. Guess who scooped it up? PS. My country is Pakistan. [0]: https://www.cnet.com/news/how-pakistan-knocked-youtube-offli... […

Great work sir!
