Telekom Malaysia \u201cbroke the Internet\u201d for a few hours on June 12. I recall I was stuck in an airport lounge in London wondering why my daily diet, bar one loaded \u2013 FT\/NYT on the iPad had no issue but I couldn\u2019t get the WSJ for offline reading.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a route leak. For reference, the Hacker News thread<\/a> is well worth a read (comments are particularly why you\u2019d go there). Cloudflare had an incident report<\/a>. Discussions on the nanog list<\/a>. Telekoms was pretty happy with their tweet<\/a>. DigitalNewsAsia reports that MCMC (SKMM) was looking into the TM outage behind the global Internet slowdown<\/a>. BGPMon has pretty graphs<\/a> to accompany the massive route leak.<\/p>\n Telekom posted a pretty quick apology<\/a>. But over 2 weeks later, and there is no incident report<\/strong>\u00a0as to what happened. When this happened in Australia, the turnaround time was 10 days – see APNIC: Leaking routes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Will anyone be held accountable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Telekom Malaysia \u201cbroke the Internet\u201d for a few hours on June 12.
