Bell Canada outage?

Wed Aug 8 20:10:22 UTC 2012

Thanks for the info, looks like Bell needs to put some filtering on their
customer links!

Things seem to have calmed down now but I'm still watching my prefixes
received from my upstream provider:

while true; do snmpget -v2c -c <community>
<router> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187.1.2.4.1.1.<ip of bgp peer>.1.128; sleep 1; done

I also monitor all my prefixes and bgp messages in Cacti
