Thanks for the efforts, Mark.

Tricky for me to check as the one known/testable traffic path was fixed by AWS around 12:27 UTC - they rejected prefixes from Angola Cables in LAX and Singapore.

That said, I see from the Kentik folks that it appears to have been resolved at 12:42 UTC: https://twitter.com/DougMadory/status/1661723901519380481 <https://twitter.com/DougMadory/status/1661723901519380481>
