SoftLayer Engineers are actively working on mitigating the issues customers are experiencing on FCR01.WDC01. At this time, the Denial of Service attack targeting customers behind FCR01.WDC01 has been mitigated; however, due to the high packet count along with the number of interfaces that reset during the event, the router is now displaying signs of instability resulting in further intermittent packetloss for certain customers behind FCR01.WDC01.

More information will be relayed to customers as it is obtained.

We do apologize for the issues and are actively working on a resolution for this event.
There is currently a high level DDOS against Washington DC and the eastern seaboard that has caused many Tier one backbones to fail. Likely a followup to the Chinese attack on gmail earlier in the week China is likely currently launching a large scale attack on primary lines in our nations capital.

The attack comes in and out as the data centers and government work to stop it. Note that this is not causing any crashes but instead service interruptions.
