Executive Summary
A malfunction in our network stack caused traffic to be slow and sometimes dropped
entirely. Ops team implemented mitigation as quickly as possible to bring everything back
to normal.

Actions taken
We implemented some additional safety layers in our network to split internal and external
traffic. By applying DDOS protection and various firewall rules to the external traffic only, we
reduced drastically the pressure our some core component of our infrastructure.
