It was a DDOS attack that primarily had its affect on Saturday. Everything
should be pretty much normal now.
Here is a snippet of something I received from one of my peering partners...
At approximately 11:30pm on 01/24/03, the global Internet community began to
experience packet loss, latency and intermittent losses of connectivity as a
result of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack. This attack is
still underway and utilizes UDP directed at port 1434. More information
regarding securing your network against this attack is available at the
