Ep. 17 Cogent's Outage and Telstra's Weekend DNS Mishap Prove Not All Outages Are Equal

Summary: This is the Internet Report, where we uncover what’s working and what’s breaking on the Internet—and why.

This includes an outage that caused a midday disruption for people trying to connect to Reddit, a weekend DNS issue at Telstra, and a Cogent outage in EMEA and NA that had the signatures of a maintenance window. We also revisit Cloudflare’s root cause analysis concerning their recent DNS outage and answer some of the open-ended questions we had.
