One of our core routers, aebi.m.faelix.net has dropped all BGP sessions and restarted. We are investigating the cause. Meanwhile traffic has re-routed to other core routers and transit links.

    We have observed some routing instability where traffic intended for our Manchester datacentres was being routed by Cogent via the USA. This seems to have settled down now, but we are continuing to watch the situation.
