Vocus Event Notification - US Upstream DDoS Attack - 30th September

[Aaron]

From Vocus:

Start Date: Friday 30th September 2011, 13:34 AEST (UTC +10); 15:34 NZST (UTC +12)


IP transit customers please note that an upstream carrier in the US is currently undergoing a severe DDoS attack aimed directly at their own network. Consequently, it has caused them some internal routing instability which they are in the process of mitigating. However, this has had the unfortunate effect of causing some packet loss and latency on their network.

We have been in constant contact with the carrier and they advise that the situation is taking the highest priority within their operations team. Vocus will continue to monitor this issue.


Please contact the Vocus NOC should you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Please do not reply to this email. Instead email noc@vocus.com.au or call 1300 855 845. International customers please call +61 2 8117 5909.
