UPDATE

[2015-03-05 22:57:19 | Derek Calderon]

This evening’s network disruption was a broadcast storm caused by an act of abuse in the Soda Hall instructional labs in which two network ports were bridged together. The network stabilized quickly after the ports were located and disabled and excess load was shedded. Please contact help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you continue to experience lingering issues from this outage.
