Good info, I’ll definitely be looking into this.

But, I’m not being directly attacked. Internap is one of my upstreams, and they 
are the one that reported that they were being attacked when we called to let 
them know about the problem.

Subject: RE: [outages] Internap Being DDoS'd

To second Jared on this one, we’ve seen a HUGE increase in NTP-based attacks 
over the past several weeks with our colo customers. It’s very efficient too – 
even a pretty low end machine can saturate a 100M link. It reminds me of SQL 
slammer…

If you haven’t yet checked that you’re safe from this you should. See:

and

Close your NTP amplifiers and prevent the spoofing.. Will solve this one.

Just got confirmation from Internap NOC that they are being attacked again.

Causing quite a bit of chaos for my network in SoCal.

I’m having to route over to Level3 to minimize the issue.
