Think it was more widespread than that. I couldn't get to several of my usual sites, including Dilbert. Traceroutes petered out somewhere on Level3.net in Texas.
According to an E-Mail I got from TsoHost's boss it was due to a breakdown of DNS on major routers in data centres. This DNS failure was caused by an arbitrary (but until now) sufficient limit on the number of DNS entries they could cache. Just in the last day or two the total number of DNS names on the internet hit this number.
.... at least that's my understanding.

2014, snipped-for-privacy@isbd.net remarked:Not DNS at all, but BGP routing tables hitting 512k entries:
This isn't a new problem, I remember having to throw away some routers when their memory had already been upgraded to its design limit (which was probably 64k routes) in the late 90's; and there was discussion of mitigation techniques in 2007 when the tables hit 256k routes.
Apparently some people have tweaked their routers recently to 768k (the next obvious step up).
ps It really is 512,000 as reported by ZD-Net, and not 512*1024.
Ah, yes, I did think that DNS didn't sound right somehow. Thanks for the correction and clarification. I was just [mis]remembering what the TsoHost E-Mail had said.

Interesting, thanks for posting the link. Interesting that el Reg and the Inq haven't picked up on the story. The only relevant story seems to be Ebay having gone down.

The BBC news website was doing odd things like running an article on Jimmy Saville's death;!..
Now seems fine like ebay...
