Network problem resolved

It seems there was some mysterious multicast traffic on the core router network. We don't know what it was, but it was chatty. In the end putting in ACLs to limit the multicast traffic to what we know we need seems to have stemmed the flood and permitted normal traffic.

Personally, I'm a big puzzled at our internet bandwidth chart. Our outbound traffic on it since service was 'restored' at 4:30pm yesterday isn't normal. If it keeps up tonight I'll mention it to the one telecom person who is here.

And that isn't very much. Poor guy has had something like six hours of sleep since things broke out Tuesday morning. Nothing like 36 hour troubleshoots to keep you awake. Things got so bad that we had to recall a technician who was on vacation as he had much needed skills. We thank him for it.
