This morning, between 3:40am and 5:30am on April 1st 2014, our network had suffered from a severe distributed denial of service attack whereby our network had been saturated with UDP attack traffic. During this time, our network had suffered from intermittent outages and significant packet loss which would have significant adverse effects to the overall performance.

The attack has thus far been contained through IP null routing. The null route will be in place until the attack can be confirmed to have ended.

As we have recently experienced more than usual DDOS attacks, we have plans to implement new protective measures to address these problems. The attacks we have received in the first 3 months of this year have been more than all attacks received in the previous 3 years combined, with each attack being significantly larger also. We consider these problems to be our top concern.

We will post further updates with regards to our DDOS mitigation solutions as they are implemented.
