****** Service Impacting Maintenance ******

On Tuesday, June 29th between 22:00 hrs PDT and 04:00 hrs PDT on Wednesday June 30th one of our upstream network providers will be performing a minor configuration change on the edge router that we connect to. This will cause the connection to this upstream to be down for approximately 20 minutes while this maintenance is done.

While there will be no loss of traffic during this maintenance window, there will be brief periods of increased latency due to sub-optimal routing while BGP sessions re-converge. Clients with persistent VPNs may see tunnels drop and re-establish if the tunnel prefers the newly added routes.

We apologize for the short notice, however, due to the nature of this maintenance it is unavoidable.

On Wednesday, June 16th between 00:00 hrs PDT and 06:00 hrs PDT one of our upstream network providers will be performing emergency maintenance on the edge router that we connect to. This could cause the connection to be down for most of the maintenance window. This is the first of two separate windows for this activity. During the period our other upstream network providers will carry our traffic without interruption to services.

On Thursday, June 17th between 00:00 hrs PDT and 06:00 hrs PDT the second part of this maintenance will take place. This could also cause the connection to be down for most of the maintenance window. During the period our other upstream network providers will carry our traffic without interruption to services.

While there will be no loss of traffic during these maintenance windows, there will be brief periods of increased latency due to sub-optimal routing while BGP sessions re-converge. Clients with persistent VPNs may see tunnels drop and re-establish if the tunnel prefers the newly added routes.
