o We have also received reports of a lack of connectivity to
certain web sites. The reason for these connectivity
problems is that routers controlled by Apex Global
Information Services (AGIS) are attempting to exchange
routing
data with DIGEX routers too often, and our routers have
stopped listening to their routers. Other major Internet
Service Providers are also experiencing these effects.
DIGEX has no control over this situation, and therefore,
we have no ETR. Connectivity will resume as soon as the
AGIS routers stop flooding DIGEX routers with route updates.
does anyone know what happened?
