Start Date: 13/07/17 10:25am AEST End Date: 13/07/17 11:03am AEST This issue was caused by a DDOS (10:25am) towards one of our customers causing an aggregation switch become unresponsive and crash (10:31am). The device did not come back up correctly and after attempting to correct the issue we decided to reboot the device again (10:48am). It came back online fine with no issues and customer connections were restored (11:00am).
