[Frank Bulk]

PTT official says it's DDoS:
	An official from Myanmar Post and Telecommunication alleged that
internet
	services had been affected by distributed denial of service (DDOS) 
	attacks on local servers, which had overloaded the network and
effectively 
	nixed the net.

I've been hearing this time is that it's a 6gbps DDoS which, for them, is an
overwhelming amount.  That's a plausible explanation.  Arbor might have some
additional insight into the matter.
