[update] ThousandEyes looks at issues from the user’s vantage point. When investigating Facebook’s issues today, we’re not seeing any BGP changes that are affecting connectivity, packet loss or latency.
Since Facebook uses its own backbone network, it’s not clear/we don’t have insight as to how an external transit route issue would cause a disruption within the internal Facebook network.
If a route leak were affecting user access from the Internet to the Facebook edge, then it would most likely manifest as paths changing such as what happened when user access to Google was impacted by a route leak.
