It’s also possible the outage was affecting other Internet services, Nash* said. When the services went down, so many users tried to load the sites that it caused a run on traffic on the Internet’s DNS infrastructure.

“The reason these failures are so crazy is because there’s so much interconnectiveness of the Internet we rely on,” Nash said.
