Here is their latest update: The IP NOC with the assistance of the Operations Engineering team confirmed a routing issue to be preventing BGP sessions from establishing correctly. A configuration adjustment was deployed at a high level, and sessions began to re-establish with stability.

Here is their latest update:
The IP NOC with the assistance of the Operations Engineering team confirmed a routing issue to be preventing BGP sessions from establishing correctly. A configuration adjustment was deployed at a high level, and sessions began to re-establish with stability. As the change propagates through the affected devices, service affecting alarms continue to clear.
Due to the nature of this outage, it may be necessary to reset your services locally at your equipment, or manually reset your BGP session. If after that action has been performed a service issue prevails, please contact the CenturyLink Repair Center for troubleshooting assistance.

Stable, latest statement (Flowspec): Summary: On August 30, 2020 10:04 GMT, CenturyLink identified an issue to be affecting users across multiple markets. The IP Network Operations Center (NOC) was engaged, and initial research identified that an offending flowspec announcement prevented Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) from establishing across multiple elements throughout the CenturyLink Network. The IP NOC deployed a global configuration change to block the offending flowspec announcement, which allowed BGP to begin to correctly establish. As the change propagated through the network, the IP NOC observed all associated service affecting alarms clearing and services returning to a stable state.

Latest update from CenturyLink
Notes History:
08/30/2020 15:31:25 GMT - The IP NOC continues to observe service affecting alarms clearing as the configuration that was deployed continues to propagate through the affected devices. Once affected services have been confirmed restored and stable, a final notification will be provided.
