Can there be a confirmation of this? I see no such MOTD at http://www.panix.com/panix/help/Announcements/
Verio was just extremely helpful and filtered out the bogus Panix routes ConED was sending them quite rapidly upon request from Panix's staff. AFAICT ConED is still sending the bogus routes, and since they evidently don't believe in staffing their NOC on the weekend, or responding to reports of their own misconduct, heaven only knows if they'll ever stop. Thanks to Verio's quick intervention the problem, thank goodness, seems to be solved. The current Panix MOTD is below: ==== Connectivity restored (alexis) Sun Jan 22 13:31:28 2006 At around 1:10PM, all of the Internet can now reach Panix again. We accomplished this by getting our peers to accept more-specific routes from us. We also, nearly simultaneously, got Con Ed's rogue route announcements pulled by Verio, their upstream. I'm surprised and pleased that Verio, which we don't have a business relationship with, was so easy to contact and so ready to do what they should. No mail was lost during this outage. Some was delayed, of course, and everything should be caught up again in an hour or two. Please let us know if you have network problems *after* 1:10PM EST.
