Monitoring vendor ThousandEyes provided a detailed postmortem for CenturyLink's widespread outage Sunday morning, which included a few lessons learned.

As previously reported the outage, which started just after 6 a.m. ET, was due to an "offending Flowspec announcement" that originated in CenturyLink's CA3 data center in Mississauga, a city in Ontario, Canada.
