From preliminary analysis, the root cause was a configuration change for one of the load balancers, which directed traffic for VM public IPs to an incorrect data plane component. Customer Impact: Google Cloud Networking VM to VM public IP and VM to External TCP/UDP Network Load Balancer traffic experienced up to ~50% packet loss across above three regions spanning the same durations. Cloud VPN Affected customers experienced up to ~55% packet loss across above three regions spanning the same durations. Cloud NAT Affected customers experienced up to ~60% packet loss across above three regions spanning the same durations.
