[AusNOG] SPAM-LOW: Pipe peering issue - Equinix

[ZoneNetworks - Joel]

To my knowledge it's a hardware/firmware issue not traffic related ...though looking at the graphs it seems like traffic/flood which is misleading

If more customers gave them a hard time it might get fixed sooner, we were told (in august) they had a long term fix in plan but no ETA when it will be done

Not something you would hear from the "old pipe"
