They did this by re-directing routes containing the youtube addresses to an internal dead-end. A mistake was made that advertised this to their peer and thus the remainder of the internet.

Just got a new office. An Eee PC (JB HiFi had them for $450), and a 3G wireless internet connection (5Gigs/month for $39/month). Not really sure how much time I’m going to get out of it with the usb wireless modem connected, I’ve been told the modem sucks the juice. Got a bit of experimenting [...]
We were given a server to play with to do whatever we wanted, hosted in a US data centre. It was running RHEL 4.x, I could have worked with that, but it didn’t look like it was on a support contract, I wasn’t able to update it, anyway. I thought about trying to convert it [...]
I got freeswitch working with google talk. There were a few bugs in mod_dingaling that were causing segfaults, they’re fixed in the latest update. I called from gtalk on my XP vm to my e65 via SIP, audio is working. I commented out the line <param name=”ext-rtp-ip” value=”$${external_rtp_ip}”/> from conf/jingle_profiles/client.xml . To make calls from [...]
After high school, I landed a job in the railways as an apprentice telecommunications technician where I worked with rob for 10 years or so. It was a fairly rich environment to work in, with pretty much every telecommunications technology accounted for, with training on the lot. Opportunities to move around, and stay fresh. Perhaps [...]
One of the reasons I chose to spend time with freeswitch over yate was google talk integration. Was a good choice, I think, for more than just gtalk. The endpoint that talks to gtalk is mod_dingaling, and it’s not compiled by default. So to enable it, uncomment #endpoints/mod_dingaling from modules.conf in your source tree and [...]
I updated my FreeSWITCH svn tree the other day and was surprised how much had changed. The configuration structure was completely rearranged. I had to start from scratch. Lots of new goodies, though. My VoIP provider has their own voicemail system that kicks in after 20 seconds, there doesn’t appear to be a way to [...]
I don’t think too many IT people would believe in fortune telling. I think it’s an interesting topic. Personally I wouldn’t pay money to have my fortune read, or believe anything a fortune teller said. Some people do believe in it, though, even pay for it, and it satisfies something inside them. So imagine if [...]
I just had a flashback. When I was in primary school, we had this cross country race with other schools in the area. The pace was full on, and a friend and I decided we’d walk. It was all bush, no one could see us and the teachers started to worry, we were taking so [...]
I’ve somewhat been following the development of FreeSWITCH, described as a softswitch, although I see they’ve added PBX to the description now. It’s still in beta, about to be released any day now(tm). It doesn’t have the features of asterisks out of the box, however, it’s extendable with javascript, perl, python, java, C of cause, [...]
