_______________________________________________Pretty sure you won't see it there first, but...Cloudflare and Noction and Kentik are all already monitoring it. Don't know if they have anything more real time than blog posts, though.
The scope of the outage guarantees it's not just an eBGP failure - e911 operations should be unaffected by anything short of the complete collapse the the Telco core.
My money is on an internal naming service (not DNS, more like JNDI or the SS7 service naming service whose name I can't remember) and a botched upgrade, plus some previously-unknown circular dependencies preventing a cold restart.

Subject: Re: [RndTbl] BGP data in real time?Just trying to track the Rogers AS812 route announcements to get a sense when they may be coming back up. As of 20:00 UTC (which I think is 3pm Central) they had zero routes.

Generally correct. The data is VERY resource-intensive to process and AFAIK that delay literally just reflects the processing time.
If you want real-time, you generally need your own BGP router(a) so you can suck data from it/them.
You can also pay obscene amounts of money to Oracle (who now owns a few network intelligence companies including Thousandeyes among others) to get closer to real time, depending on what data you're after.
Email Theo and/or me with more details if you don't want to share them publicly.
