Early this afternoon while physically connecting an additional GigE connection to the Savvis backbone, our switch fabric unexpectedly experienced spanning tree issues which created instabilities in our network. Steps have been taken to stabilize the network while our network engineers continue to investigate the underlying issue and procedures to prevent similar issues.

We apologize for the inconvienience and will take all possible steps to prevent similar issues from occuring in the future.

We will be returning service to one switch later tonight, which could create some short periods of instability while this switch is brought back into service and placed back into our network mesh.
