We are investigating the crash of the BGP process on one of our core routers in Williams House, Manchester.

    We have deployed the control plane protections as planned.

    We have put in place numerous corrective actions: put in place workarounds, put in place a failsafe workaround, submitted bug reports to the vendor, and we have been monitoring the router since. We will also be establishing some additional control plane protections as we suspect a targetted attack may have been involved earlier today.
