Qwest has confirmed a DOS attach against two of their Juniper routers in the NY POP. I believe they had a UDP attack last week also (maybe on Saturday). This time the DOS was a TCP attack on the 100Mb management interface on the Juniper, leaving the box unable to pass packets, hence BGP stays up and a full routing table but you cannot get anywhere. Patrick We saw the same issue on Saturday morning too (eastern time). BGP sessions to Qwest stayed up, but no data was moving across Qwest links. Kind of ugly. Emails to Qwest seeking information on Saturday went unanswered.
