      Seems they have been inundated with DoS attacks of late. See thread "DoS against TCL last night"

Strange but true.
All else works just fine, which suggests something at their end

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?
