[AusNOG] Telstra mobile down "nationwide"

[Tony Wicks]

I would expect an SBC or voice switch issue is more likely the cause
actually.

No, the biggest DDOS in the world will not affect voice transit on your
average MPLS carrier network either. QOS takes care of this, and I do not
believe that Telstra would not have a properly setup QOS configuration.
Sorry, the DDOS rumour is likely just a rumour based on nothing. Also,
carriers do NOT use spanning tree unless something has gone very wrong in
their architecture department.

Oh, tsk tsk. Where have you been the last few years? Mobile networks aren't
really TDM any more...

Since 4G it's more packet than circuit. So much of the underlying
infrastructure is packet based I wouldn't rule out a DDOS. Or a spanning
tree failure on the underlying (ethernet) switch fabric...

But, no, not this time.
