FYI some details, it is not our server:

At approximately 12:31pm CST, the Information Security department became aware of latency and packet loss at the DLLSTX2, DLLSTX4, and DLLSTX5 data centers. Upon investigation, it was determined that the network intrusion prevention system had malfunctioned. Engineers attempted to repair the system but were unsuccessful. The Information Security and Networking departments were forced to bypass the network intrusion prevention system. At approximately 2:33pm CST, normal traffic patterns were restored to DLLSTX4 and DLLSTX5 data centers. At approximately 2:39pm CST, normal traffic patterns were restored to DLLSTX2.

Upon further investigation by the vendor, it has been determined that there is an issue with the network intrusion prevention system software. The vendor is working to develop a patch.

Future Mitigation:
Apply the patch as soon as it is tested and approved by the vendor.
