Internal DoS EvoSwitch [Update]

Time: January 18th 2010 11:00:00(CEST)
Location: EvoSwitch
Reason: DOS
*******************************

Dear Customer,

We experienced an internal DoS on one of our routers located in EvoSwitch. We have stopped this DoS, but we are still investigating.

Please be patient while we are working on this problem.

Regards,
LeaseWeb BV

[UPDATE 13:00] The DDoS was attacking one of our customers first, and after that the attacker changed the destination IP to an IP of our router. This caused high CPU load on our routers in Hall 3. We have decided to implement more strict control plane policing to prevent from such attacks in the future.
