Re: BGP takes two to untangle
The suspicion was initially bon CenturyLink route servers as the CenturyLink route table appeared to be "frozen" with no new routes added or old routes deleted.
Based on CenturyLink indicating a flowspec issue, it's likely that a flowspec rule partially or completely firewalls BGP. The resulting chaos/time to repair was likely caused by techs being unable to access equipment to triage/fix it quickly.
