RE: Anyone having issues with Equinix IX out of Ashburn?

[Eric Van Tol <eric () atlantech net>]

Received a notification shortly after reporting the problem at 6am this morning about "issues" on the Exchange. We saw 
packet input on our routers in upwards of 350K pps, with all peers disabled. Looked to be a broadcast/multicast storm.

Seems to be good now, but no explanation of what was found.
