Google flops on its conversion to IPv6 from IPv4
Google flops on its conversion to IPv6 from IPv4. Widespread outages involving several Google services–including search, Google Docs, and Gmail–were caused by an upgrade gone awry inside of Google, according McAfee. The outage began at 8:13 a.m. PDT, according to McAfee’s data, and was fixed by 9:14 a.m. PDT. A senior manager at McAfee said that Google attempted to make changes to key Internet routing numbers–known as autonomous system numbers–as part of its ongoing transition from an older networking standard (IPv4) to a newer one called IPv6. An unknown “bug” inside Google’s network prevented Internet service providers from finding Google’s new ASNs on the Internet–effectively blocking its services. Not all Internet users were affected, but some that use larger providers–such as AT&T or Verizon–appeared to be disproportionately hurt because large ISPs “peer” with Google, or interconnect their networks with Google’s networks in order to improve speed and reduce bandwidth costs. Not all customers at those providers were affected, and smaller ISPs that did not interconnect their networks were able to route around the problem.
