DoS in progress?

Seems mighty slow compared to everywhere else right now.

Always surprised that anyone even bothers with such things on sites like this...like, who cares?

It appears that my new host (InfoRelay) is currently having trouble with one of their BGP peers (nLayer). I am opening a ticket right now.

This appears to disproportionally affect Cox Communications customers.

Can anyone that's having trouble please provide a traceroute from your network to fairfaxunderground.com (69.169.88.22)?

Thank you.

No problems from the Verizon side.

This appears to be a BGP peering issue between Cox and nLayer that has just been resolved. A good chunk of the internet noticed it:

If anyone is still having trouble please provide traceroutes, they're extremely helpful.

And THANK YOU "Olde Farte, II" for noticing and reporting this problem.
