Update at 07:12:30(GMT): The issue has now been resolved with this server.Update at 18:06:33(GMT): We have just received news that two major transit carriers will both be taking maintenance steps this evening.
Both Cogent and IXReach will be performing maintenance work between the hours of 23:00 and 06:00. Both indicate their work should take no more than 30 minutes. If both maintenance windows occur at the same time, there may be downtime.
Ideally we would give our users a big heads up on a major event like this, and take the necessary steps to prevent downtime, but one provider has only given us 8 hours notice, which has severely limited our options for response.
This status page will be updated if the two windows do overlap by chance.

Update at 14:21:11(GMT): The issue has now been resolved with this server.As suspected, this was a packet flood aimed at a server on our network. We are looking into why this happened and hope to avoid it happening in future. As it was from an external source, this isn't as simple as removing an account on a server or similar.
