Thanks for the updates. I wish I could get this information somewhere other than hacker news though. :(
We use downdetector.com because status pages tend to take up to an hour or so to update, if they ever do.

The team is updating the status page but not with granular detail because they'd have to spend time discussing what to say. I'm giving you the blow by blow.
Our CloudFlare stuff isn’t even pingable. Sometimes it’ll return an echo from a far away DC.
It’s been like this for over an hour now and your status page doesn’t even acknowledge it apart from “Network performance issues”.

BGP route/prefix leaks. BGP is the protocol that deals with routing across the various internet backbones (known in the protocol as "autonomous systems", identified by an AS number). On that protocol, the various systems broadcast what prefixes they can route, which then affects the rest of the networks' routing decisions. By error or malice, a system can report a prefix they cannot or should not route, causing other…
At 3-4 major leaks per year it seems like we should probably fix BGP one of these days...
The protocol is fine.

One of the weirder leaks I've seen, 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 are both down for me, but everything else is working fine.
This appears to be a routing problem. All our systems are running normally but traffic isn't getting to us for a portion of our domains. 1128 UTC update Looks like we're dealing with a route leak and we're talking directly with the leaker and Level3 at the moment. 1131 UTC update Just to be clear this isn't affecting all our traffic or all our domains or all countries. A portion of traffic isn't hitting Cloudflare. L…

It was updated a few minutes ago confirming that it's a route leak.
(The average CF user has no idea what a route leak is, tbh.)
