There have been two problems affecting the performance of our network in the past 24 hours. The first problem which has been hammered out on this list is the leaking of our routes by other providers. Our noc is still working with some other ISPs to get this issue resolved. Currently some large backbones are still seeing some more specific pieces of our netblocks that are not pointing directly to our network. In addition to this (and possibly caused by this) we had an increase in traffic in our San Francisco node. This increase congested one of our Fddi rings. This caused problems for a subset of our routers in the San Francisco area. Steps were taken to alleviate the immediate problem and it will be closely monitored. To be clear, the problem was localized to just a handful of routers and just to a single node. The congestion problem was fixed early this morning. I apologize for delay in posting.

Just got off the phone with their first-level trouble reporting. They say that "Someone put in a block against C&W, and the resulting traffic overloaded our backbone".
I've been looking for a better answer to show up here -- if e-mail can get through to me.
