That is a major thing and no accident.
Yeah. Not to mention that there is never just one transit gateway in place, especially for a company like FB. They very likely had several interfaces in place with redundant fail-overs to lower capacity hardware.
An event like this, where ALL of their connections are down simultaneously isn't just a major event; it's a HUGE event. This kind of thing should NEVER happen.
I started out in '95 for tier 1 isp's, and I agree, this is huge.
I'm in the industry. I work with cloud architecture specifically and work with these transit links all the time. Never seen an outage anything like this FB one.
