That makes no sense. How would tripping the max prefix on a single peer
cause a major outage?

There was definitely a major outage with Optus yesterday - not just
internet services, but mobile and landline. roughly 10 hour outage for
effectively their entire consumer network (weirdly, I have an
enterprise service which was not effected by the outage). Definitely
got hit by it - our entire corporate mobile fleet was out the whole
day.
Nobody has given a RFO yet - but I have my doubts it was just BGP
issues. That's speculation at this point.

Off of Facebook of all places, I hear this report that Optus had a major outage
in Australia last night, which is believed to have been a BGP screw up
involving Akamai:
"Nope: it was Akamai increasing their advertised prefix count from their cdn nodes
inside the Optus network, and Optus’s configured max-prefix settings on their core bgp
sessions from their route reflectors weren’t quite high enough and their whole network
went down. Someone didn’t quite think through the value for internal max-prefix
rules.."
Anybody confirm, deny, got hit by it?
