digital.forest Technical Support
Network Issue

Tonight at 7:28 PM we experienced an issue with one of our boundary routers. This caused brief interruption with two of our BGP peer sessions. This lasted until 7:33 PM. The traffic was not lost, as it switched to our other connections on our other boundary router. This is how the system is designed to work. Persistent connections, such as VPN tunnels may have been temporarily down as they reset themselves if they were routing over one of the lost connections.

This particular event is linked to our effort to assist a digital.forest colocation client whose server has been the subject of a denial of service attack. This attack has had no direct impact on any digital.forest customers other than this particular client. We'll post more news if required.
