According to network checks we have running against VMs in each GCE region, this event resulted in about 1.6 hours of concurrent ICMP timeouts for every region (except us-west1 for only 10 minutes). We use Panopta for monitoring which verifies outages from multiple external network paths. When outages trigger we also use Ripe Atlas to confirm them using 100s of last mile network paths of which 85-95% resulted in timeouts. This is the second global GCE networking outage this year. These outages are particularly problematic because even multi-region load balancing will not avert downtime.
