Asherons Call: Ding Dong, the (Connection) Glitch is Dead!

Frelorn reports that the connectivity problems (increased lag, yellow/red links, and even some disconnects) that have popped up since the hardware upgrade have been fixed:

Update: Good news! It looks like we have founf the source of the problem and fixed it. We appreciate the understanding all of you have shown us while we worked on getting this issue resolved.

Later on, he went on to explain just what the problem was:

I am by no means an Ops person, but from my understanding there was a problem with the configuration of the network switches. In theory the configuration that was there should have worked fine, but for some odd reason that no one from here or from AT&T can explain, it was causing a bottleneck of info at one particular switch. We modified the configuration on the worlds, and it seems to have cleared out the bottleneck.

We are of course keeping a close watch on things to be sure.
