Hi Graeme, LINX is basically suffering a bit of fail (yet again) on their Brocade network, seemingly centered around members connected to switch16 in Telehouse East.
Subsequently there has been a lot of packet loss over the last hour or so, and currently LINX members are pulling their sessions from the Brocade network which is slowly stabilising things. So yes a reasonable disturbance in The Internet. Regards...
