Hi,
This is a bit odd (and should really be in another place but I can't work out which will get the most reads - which is the goal)
It appears that DLINK have managed to release firmware that is casuing issues for operators of important network hardware. What is causing the problem is that stratum 1 servers (the ones ISP's use to synchronise their time servers) are being dDOS'd by DLINK routers due to a lack of understanding by DLINK.
These links explain the problem in more detail

If you have DLINK hardware can you manually set your NTP server to that of your ISP.
Thx for reading
