Update: OSG GOC Services experiencing intermittent difficulties.

The network outage affected the IUPUI campus as noted here:

Most services returned to availability shortly after 17:00 Eastern Time, while GOCTicket returned to service at a later time as it waited for underlying systems to return to the network.

Any Bloomington-based services were still available during this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
