[Cialug] Are they OK?

[chris at bynw.com]

I saw this on Twitter. The source says it's from a deleted FB employee 
reddit account.

"As many of you know, DNS for FB services has been affected and this is 
likely a sympton of the actual issue, and that's that BGP peering with 
Facebook peering routers has gone down , very likely due to a 
configuration change that went into effect shorty before the outages 
happened.

There are people now trying to gain access to the peering routers to 
implement fixes, but the people with physical access is separate from 
the people with knowledge of how to actually authenticate to the systems 
and people who know what to _actually do_, so there is now a logistical 
thing with getting all that knowledge unified."
