Dynamic DSL Subscriber Rebalancing

July 23, 2008 – 6:00 pm by jared

Tonight at midnight, we will be moving some of our dynamic IP DSL subscribers from a heavily loaded SMS to a less-loaded one. This will only affect a small subset of customers in LATA1, which may see 5-10 minutes of downtime as their circuits are migrated and DHCP leases renewed. If you find that you are affected by this move, you may want to reboot your computer and/or router when you lose connectivity. The reboot will clear your DHCP lease, and may allow you to pick up a new lease more quickly.

Update: The subscriber move has been completed as planned. There were no problems with the migration, and all affected customers should be back online, only having experienced a few minutes of downtime at most.
