“We’re seeing positive results for server stability after applying an upstream authentication/routing configuration component patch to a portion of our infrastructure.”
I am not a professional computer toucher but what, typically, sits upstream of the server?
Also “routing configuration component patch” sounds awfully close to “it was DNS”

There was an update earlier that was something along the lines of “it was a technical issue not an AI one” to which all I can say is: citation needed.
