Large DDoS Attack

May 1, 2009 – 7:38 pm by jared

At 7:17 PM today, a large distributed denial of service attack was aimed at one of our customers. The DDoS attack reached over 1 million pps at our network edge. The primary impact of the DDoS was to destabilize the FRATM/Business-T router that it was aimed at, though all users may have noticed some sluggishness while browsing, due to the impact it had on some of our upstream transit links. The DDoS was blocked at our edge within 10 minutes, and its impact has been mitigated.
