Monitoring

The attack began at 22:12 local time, and was large enough to congest several of our IP transit links. This will have caused degraded performance and packet loss on traffic from/to the Internet.

Our two IP transit providers started mitigation (scrubbing) at 22:17 and 22:35.

The attack is still ongoing, but the small amount of attack traffic that still makes it through to our network no longer poses any problem for us. We will continue to monitor the situation.
