Thomas, We saw some instability this morning around 2:53am (EST) that resulted in practically complete communication failure in our Detroit colo. It lasted approximately 45 minutes and service was restored rather gradually. --- Brandon Lehmann CCNA, CCAI, CFOT, Net+, A+, Security+ BitRadius, LLC PO Box 493 Fremont, Ohio 43420 Email: brandon@bitradius.com Web: http://www.bitradius.com Phone: 567-255-3610 x9500 Toll-Free: 888-608-7253 x9500 Fax: 567-255-3611 ________________________________________ From: Thomas St-Pierre [tstpierre@iweb.com] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:56 PM To: NANOG list Subject: BGP instability? Hi, Did anyone else see a large amount of instability between around 12:20am and 3:10am? (UTC, May 17th) We saw around 9 million announces per hour during that period come in through all our upstreams (vs an average normal of around 128k per hour). Just curious as to what happened, if anything. Thanks, Thomas
