Ask HN: Is there a realtime/lagged view of worldwide internet traffic?

13 points by akkishore 5 years ago | 4 comments

Few minutes back we have seen our cross DC region connections getting timed out. It got fixed by itself after few minutes on its own. We were struggling to find the reason. Hence wanted to know if there is a world wide traffic status?

There are commercial services that do this but not cheap. One that comes to mind is ThousandEyes. [1] You can use their probes and/or install your own. They are also useful for seeing BGP changes across the net correlated with routing problems, latency, etc...

You want to know if your provider or the www is the source of an issue you are experiencing, correct?

If so then checkout ThousandEyes Internet Outages Map. It's free.
