| 2019-12-10 13:45 | 2019-12-10 16:55 | Internet2 Connectivity | Internet2 Engineers isolated the issue to a malformed route update coming from an external peer to one of its nodes in Ashburn, VA. As this update was propagated throughout the Internet2 Network, it triggered a bug on the Internet2 routers and caused all internal BGP sessions of each router to rapidly flap, thus causing instability across the footprint. Engineers mitigated the issue by placing a filter on the specific peer to reject the malformed packet. The Major Incident has been resolved at this point. | Many different external resources, data transfers, sessions, etc. to various destinations. | help+neteng@ncsa.illinois.edu | Connectivity has stabilized. Please report any issues should they arise. |
