Fri Dec 7 11:24:36 PST 2007 — Minor Internet Routing Problem. Earlier today, another ISP accidentally announced one of our networks into the global Internet routing table. This caused all Sonic.net customers in 209.204.154.0/24 to have no connectivity to the Internet at large. We contacted the ISP in question and had them remove the erroneous route. Internet connectivity for the IPs in question has been restored. -Jared and Jasper

Thu Dec 6 15:56:30 PST 2007 — Network instability. At approximately 3:36pm one of our core routers in San Francisco restarted all of its BGP sessions without cause. The sessions took a few minutes to restore. Customers may have noticed intermittent reachability to some destinations during this period. We’ll be investigating the cause to try and prevent this from happening again! -Nathan and the NOC
