Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #2 It is sustaining quite a bit, right now I am working to isolate and block.
Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #3 looking at bit better now but still an ongoing attack.
Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #4 I have isolated and know that the destination is a virtual machine, but I shut it down and it seems to be impacting the network worse now than before.

Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #5 Network is still taking over a gigabit a second in attacks but much more stabilized.
Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #6 We are working with upstream providers to stop the remaining attacks as they are coming even in when blocked.

Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #7 After being resolved for almost an hour, they are back again.
Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #8 While not as great of impact this time, we have taken the step to issue a complete null route of the IPs being attacked. This impacts only one customer, and will be a solution for this attack that keeps shifting around.

Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #9 The null route is in place now and network traffic flows looking just dandy now.
Stephen US Operations Staff member Jan 2, 2013 #10 Been very solid now. No issues at all since the null route to the target IP.
