My apologies for this (my first) post.
As a former Sys Admin, I retain an interest in this area
for purely personal & academic reasons.
After observing the post, I attempted to access http://www.fx.net.nz/
and it timed out.
And is doing so again this evening.
Your thoughts?
All else is functioning fine. ( I run PClos linux on my desktop & use Open DNS)

Hi all,

In case anyone noticed/was wondering why things were running a bit slowly
through TCL last night, we were receiving somewhere >1Gbit of DoS traffic
(mostly large TCP, random ports) across a couple of links which got a bit
saturated.
    

And it's back again, even bigger this time. Filters are in place, but if 
anyone notices things being a little slow, this is probably why.

Appreciate the updates David - it's good to see people sharing this sort of stuff.

Yeah, we've (FX Networks) been hit by a couple over the last few days. Tonights one was particularly bad. And I have heard of another couple of ISPs that have been targeted as well (well, customers thereof). 

Anyone else? Is this a bit of a trend starting?
