According to news reports the LINX exchange experienced
a broadcast flood.  Its been a few years since I've heard
about a broadcast flood at a major exchange, so its nice
to hear about a traditional problem.

One question, as I understand the LINX set up, it consists
of two logical/physical networks using different vendors
and hardware.  Did the broadcast storm take out both?
