Welcome: This is The Internet Report, where we uncover what’s working and what’s breaking on the Internet—and why.
Headlines: Today we’re going to do a thorough analysis of the major Facebook outage that took place yesterday, Monday, October 4. I’m joined by ​​Gustavo Ramos, ThousandEyes’ in-house expert on Network Engineering.
Under the Hood: We'll walk through the sequence of events that led to this outage, understand what went wrong (and what actions may have made the situation worse), and what lessons we can all learn from this outage.
Outro: We've been on a bit of a break for the past several months as things were relatively quiet on the Internet front and for the foreseeable future we'll be a bit reactive in our episodes, when something major happens trust we'll be here.
