[nsp-sec] Big packet loss to Google.com

[Stephen Wilcox]

As an aside, to avoid some misinformation thats out there. There are  
some articles (apparently sourced in Mcafee originally) that are  
reporting this is something to do with a v6 router code upgrade gone  
sour. eg http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10241126-93.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-5

That explanation seems to be invented - the origin is well known and  
was nothing to do with code upgrades or any change to v6..

(Similarly the explanation of who felt it most is also factually very  
wrong)
