We are closing this incident, as the situation has been stable since this status post was created.
The DE-CIX engineering team is still investigating yesterday's congestion affecting our peering port. Until further clarification, selected critical peering sessions remain disabled. Therefore we do not anticipate further issues with our DE-CIX peering.
Inbound DTAG (Deutsche Telekom AG) traffic has been rerouted and will remain so until further notice to avoid similar situations.
We will re-enable the remaining peering sessions once the root cause has been fully clarified with the DE-CIX team and the mitigation is in place.
Only inbound traffic entering our network via DTAG or DE-CIX was affected for a few minutes till we disabled the sessions. All other uplinks/paths were not impacted. Outbound traffic was not affected.
