Sourced from theage.com.au (http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/dodo-takes-blame-for-internet-outage-affecting-millions-20120223-1tpqq.html) Dodo has confirmed its role in causing issues with core network infrastructure yesterday.
It is likely many factors are at play however what we can confirm is that international traffic was being routed through the Dodo network and obviously this was not intended behavior.
The actual affect was widespread across Telstra transit services and Connectivity I.T.’s access was affected also. Despite many paths to the internet this issue affected failover mechanisms.

At this stage this information is unconfirmed however it is concurrent with the data and monitoring we do have available. At present (17:00) all systems appear to have returned to normal for some time now.
