[AusNOG] Optus downtime chat + affecting SMS verification to Telstra?

[Shaun Coffey]

This was the update a bit after 7:30:

The suspected root cause of the issue lies with the route reflectors, which
are currently handling an excessive number of routes, leading to session
shutdown and a complete traffic halt. Our on-site technician is actively
prioritising establishing a console connection. Rest assured that said
technician is also being provided additional technical support remotely.
Kindly expect next update to be provided by 9AM AEDT if not sooner.
