According to news reports the LINX exchange experienced a broadcast flood. Its been a few years since I've heard about a broadcast flood at a major exchange, so its nice to hear about a traditional problem. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/171318.html One question, as I understand the LINX set up, it consists of two logical/physical networks using different vendors and hardware. Did the broadcast storm take out both?

Its dual vendor (foundry and extreme) and currently a single physical peering LAN. Mike stated at the last LINX & RIPE meeting that theres a plan to seperate out the Foundry and Extreme gear into two seperate peering LANs within the next few months. Regards James
