31st May – Update
Owing to certain issues with AS community handling in the maintenance release installed yesterday we are planning a further “emergency” maintenance upgrade this evening with an additional patch which resolves issues with community handling in this release. We anticipate a brief outage at 11pm to transit routes via Tiscali and NTT and a further brief outage at 00:00 on our level 3 and LoNAP connections.
Original Note – 29th May 2007
We are planning maintenance to be undertaken this evening / tomorrow morning between midnight and 02:00
We will be rolling out a patch for the BGP daemon on our routers to deal with an issue with 4-byte ASN updates, and at the same time updating kernels on our borders.
During the maintenance window transit customers will notice BGP sessions restarting, and there may be a brief pause as routes re-converge.
