The BGP thing was mentioned on HN as a likely possibility in the main submissions discussing the outage (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38185841 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38185841, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38185009 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38185009), and the Cloudflare Radar "BGP Announcements" graph seems to support it. There's a spike of 940,480 BGP events on Nov 7th at 17:00 UTC, which was 4am Sydney time: https://radar.cloudflare.com/as4804?dateRange=7d https://radar.cloudflare.com/as4804?dateRange=7d Note the "7d" (7 days) on the end of the url, so if you're trying that link more than a week after the Optus event you might need to bump that number up. --- Doesn't seem like captures / snapshots of Cloudflare Radar by The Wayback Machine (web.archive.org), nor archive.today work. Seems to only capture the html/css/js, but without any data. So the graphs are all empty / grey. :(
