Re: [AusNOG] Telstra outage Sydney

[Grahame Lynch]

Telstra just sent us this:

Please find the following update on the issue impacting enterprise
customers.  In some good news many of our services are starting to restore
and we apologise for messing up peoples nights.



Further to my earlier update I can provide the following formal statement:



We continue to investigate the issue affecting data services, including
EFTPOS and access to ATMS, for a number of enterprise customers nationally.
Many of our services are starting to restore. We’re sorry for any issues
caused and will provide an update when we know more.

Re: [AusNOG] "How China diverts, then spies on Australia's internet traffic"

Paul my comments were prompted by this discussion on reddit. The report
authors haven't established that all the routing they described was a
hijack, they just assume it because it was a longer route.

[Grahame Lynch]

How much of this is "hijacking" and how much is just "least cost routing"?
It is really hard to tell.
