We received one report from an ISP customer that they couldn't VPN to a site with a Frontier Communications IP, and two reports from Knology customers about connectivity issues to the Internet. Makes you wonder if there is a broader issue going on. Sorry that we don't have any more details -- these are small-biz customers who are with us or have been with us and don't have the folk to generate a traceroute. Frank
There have been some reports from various now-scrambling ISPs and NSPs about their Juniper JunOS devices rebooting. Apparently, it may be related to the (either accidental or intentional) exploitation of this bug: http://pastebin.com/HBWiH92j
From the reports of those networks having problems, it's interesting to hear who's running Juniper and MXes.
<tangential sidenote> It's too bad that Junipers bugs aren't listed publicly. For clueful network operations, having this information available to them could have enabled them to properly weigh the risk of evaluating and certifying versions of their operating systems. Cheers, jof

Well, you have to have support to get a fixed JUNOS, and if you have support, you can subscribe to notifications about new PSNs (based on device, OS, etc.). I get email about PSNs relevant to my hardware and software, and I go read them to see if the apply to my specific setup. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Am I wrong in thinking that not all PSNs are public, even to contract-holding customers There have been times in interacting with their sales engineering group and JTAC, who have sent me bug details that were not locatable when searching their PSN database. I have a feeling that PSNs are only noted and released to customers once there's a fix for a problem. This is getting off-topic somewhat, so I suggest we leave this thread be to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high. There's more in-depth discussion taking place on NANOG. Cheers, jof
