AGIS has been offline on the East Coast since about Tuesday. Im not sure of the scope, but it seems pretty catastrophic [for AGIS customers]. Checking www.agis.net/states.htm then pick any East Coast state and unless the ISP is multi-homed, all traceroutes stop at Pennsauken [cut to protect the innocent] 9 f1-0.pennsauken1.agis.net (192.157.69.19) 129 ms 185 ms 114 ms 10 * * * 11 * *^C * 12 ^C I estimate at least 25 smaller single-homed ISP's have been entirely cut off for days. AGIS NOC says it has MAE EAST problems (coinciding with the transition to the Ascend GRF Monday morning?). AGIS has been stateing that this is caused by SPAM attacks but I suspect thier upgrade to an OC-3 ATM backbone plus the GRF is at the heart. Anyone have any more info? .stb
