I've heard a few interesting rumours:
1. AGIS has been attacked (yes, this is only a rumour,
the only "evidence" is on the AGIS web page)
2. Somebody was pingflooding the routers
3. Somebody was SYN-flooding the routers(???)
4. The culprit was inside the AGIS network
5. AGIS was doing some upgrades that went bad (again)
Sure would be nice if AGIS was still friendly with other
backbones, so we could all help trace down the culprit (even
if it's just a typo in a router config), make it public among
the NANOG community, and make sure that it doesn't happen to
anybody else.
