Nanog is the North American Network Operators Group.  If it's broken on the
Internet it's will most likely be posted to Nanog first.  A word of
caution - do not post to Nanog unless you know what you are talking about.
Most of the people on there have been there for years, are highly technical,
and do not suffer fools lightly.  Information here:

This also brings up the subject of anti-spoofing filters.  I'm sure all of
you are blocking outbound traffic that doesn't originate from your
netblocks, correct?   If you are not you should be since you may well be
contributing to the DDOS attacks.

Anybody else having problems getting to the Cisco web site?
It's been unavailable to me all day.
