Qwest has confirmed a DOS attach against two of their Juniper routers in the NY POP. I believe they had a UDP attack last week also (maybe on Saturday). This time the DOS was a TCP attack on the 100Mb management interface on the Juniper, leaving the box unable to pass packets, hence BGP stays up and a full routing table but you cannot get anywhere. Patrick We saw the same issue on Saturday morning too (eastern time). BGP sessions to Qwest stayed up, but no data was moving across Qwest links. Kind of ugly. Emails to Qwest seeking information on Saturday went unanswered. Drew Linsalata The Gotham Bus Company Internet Server and Carrier Neutral Co-Location http://www.gothambus.com

Heya...
Just found out that Qwest had an outage in one of their NY pops (jfk?) that disrupted access out of the Boston area for about 20 minutes. The master ticket (I believe) is 566548. Does anyone know what happened?
Thanks,
Eric :)
