Looks like this is affecting more than just Gmail. Any site that I go to that uses google analytics or even ajax.googleapis.com is having problems.

Damn, the google counter is broken....

Lots of space
Over 2757.272164 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.


It was at 7+ gigs yesterday.

Pinging www.l.google.com [74.125.67.99] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 74.125.67.99:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)


I don't know what to do now. Gmail loads, in about 3 minutes, but is unresponsive. Can't send anything from my iphone gmail account either.

The world is coming to an end.

Funny: downforeveryoneorjustme.com uses Google Analytics.

Soooo...guess what can't tell me if Google is down for everyone or just me?

meh. i get no gmail or other websites that use doubleclick / google ads. google.com itself loaded, albeit very slowly. I hope they are losing customers.

Google is a bit weird for me right now. It is working but not at the usual speed.
Trace looks okay though.

We were not imagining things, talk about a routing screw up :)
http://googleblog.blogspot.com...peaking-now-about.html

This is your pilot speaking. Now, about that holding pattern...

Imagine if you were trying to fly from New York to San Francisco, but your plane was routed through an airport in Asia. And a bunch of other planes were sent that way too, so your flight was backed up and your journey took much longer than expected. That's basically what happened to some of our users today for about an hour, starting at 7:48 am Pacific time.

An error in one of our systems caused us to direct some of our web traffic through Asia, which created a traffic jam. As a result, about 14% of our users experienced slow services or even interruptions. We've been working hard to make our services ultrafast and "always on," so it's especially embarrassing when a glitch like this one happens. We're very sorry that it happened, and you can be sure that we'll be working even harder to make sure that a similar problem won't happen again. All planes are back on schedule now.

is where it gets hung up. does google traffic usually go to tokyo?

LOL, huge routing fail.

Looks like someone accidently changed a route and sent all of Googles traffic through Asia - oops!

http://www.wired.com/images_bl...nter/2009/05/lapse.png - Throughput graph

Arbor Networks knows more about the internet?s workings than possibly anyone outside the National Security Agency. Their monitoring equipment sits in nearly all Tier 1 internet providers ? and if you want data on what the internet looks like and what the top threats are, they?ve got it through their Atlas service.

So what does it look like when Google?s search, email, and calendar services, among others, stop working for two hours?

The graph above from the company?s Atlas system shows average traffic from ten top North American ISPs sending data to Google?s network. (Note this graph only shows traffic to to Google?s portion of the internet, not internet traffic generally.) Google says it messed up and routed traffic through an Asian network that couldn?t handle the flood. The outage lasted about two hours ? starting about 10:15 am Eastern time.

If I were a regulator, this graph would be piece one in evidence that Google holds a monopoly on the world?s information.

Update: Actually, the fact that Google?s slip-up causes such a stir in the media, on mailing lists and on Twitter, says much more about Google?s centrality to the internet than this graph does, even though its a really cool graph.

That drop on the right side of the graph from 15 Gbps to 1 is just astounding.

I don't see how a graph only showing traffic to google is any indication of their 'monopoly on the world?s information'. Maybe if that was ALL internet traffic and google still put a dent in the numbers that much I could see the connection.
