crswstck01-fr07 emergency reboot Sunday 16th July 2023 04:01:00


We needed to perform an urgent emergency reboot of crswstck01-fr07.

We've seen "ghost" DDoS attacks the whole weekend. These were the results of duplicate packets that were transmitted at times, also causing disconnects.

It took a while to find the problem, but in the end we were able to track it down to the core switches. The PFEs(Packet forwarding engines) were in a state where they started to duplicate packets randomly, causing the already mentioned problems.

In addition, there was some problematic configuration that caused some more duplicate packets too.

We would like to tell you that the problem has been fixed as of now and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience.
