SYN Floods from Verizon in the Midwest-Chicago area?

Fri Dec 30 16:55:11 UTC 2016

Wondering if anyone noticed issues with customers coming from Verizon's handoff in Chicago - 204.255.168.61? We have couple of customers with Verizon that seem to have been flooding us with SYN's. It seems Verizon has acknowledged this, but as we are not customers of VZN, we have no information about this. The SYN floods stopped around 10:20 PST on 12/29. Had enough impact to cause a minor outage.

Thanks,
Bobin Joseph
