YouTube CDN down?

Mon Sep 29 21:22:43 UTC 2014

Watching in dev tools, the CDN is returning the dreaded HTTP header 204 (No
Content), even though the entire video is buffering.

This reminds me of an outage a while back that only affected IPv6.

I've confirmed with other users, and YouTube is dead to us from these
networks:
- AS22645 (Texas Gigapop) - v4/v6
- AS19108 (Suddenlink) - v4
- AS40285 (Northland Cable) - v4/v6
- AS40244 (TurnKey) - v4/v6

It does seem to be regional.  People in SC/NC who are presumably hitting
the Charleston DC are unaffected.
