John KristoffI'm frequently despondent when I see organizations remove or hide once public Internet operational status and trending data.
At one time, lots of networks used to publish a variety of status and traffic summaries. The non-profit Internet2 for example was exemplary in this regard. Cloudflare, a commercial organization, now provides far more public benefit data than they do.
A big loss earlier this year was the once public Equinix network status page - https://community.equinix.com/blog/videostutorials/introducing-equinix-status/519
As the Internet becomes increasingly complex and inconsistency abounds, having access to trends and data from diverse vantage points is as important as ever, but unfortunately increasingly difficult to get.
