Incidentally -- and I don't know if you turned this on or if Cloudflare
did -- but the interstitial page that appears when accessing IETF pages
is described by Cloudflare like this: " Javascript and cookies are
required for the tests and recording the fact that the tests were
correctly passed."
I know some significant percentage of IETFers run with javascript turned
off, so this may pose a hardship for them.

All -
We are experiencing degradation on the websites served by the primary
IETF server group, including the IETF main website, the IAB and IRTF
sites, and the Datatracker.
Page load times for all sites are extremely slow.
We have engineers working on this now.
The problem *seems* to be that Cloudflare is sending us hundreds of
simultaneous connections from hundreds of different IP addresses
across many netblocks. We are contacting Cloudflare now to see why
this is happening, and what can be done to mitigate it, and we are
continuing to investigate options on our end to restore normal service.
Other services and sites are not impacted, and one way or another we
will have service restored shortly. Thank you for your patience in
this matter.
