Further Non-Intrusive Backbone Maintenance

Tonight at midnight, we will be performing card insertions and replacements at our San Francisco POP. These operations are being performed on our redundantly-built backbone systems, and traffic will be routed around each device as the work is being done. This should cause no interruption of service to customers served by this POP. This work is to support further DSL expansion, and our new core backbone.

-Jared, Nathan, Matt, and Jacob

The backbone maintenance for tonight has been completed. There were no major incidents, but customers may have noticed 15-30 seconds of poor connectivity as links were removed from service for the maintenance.

Non-Intrusive Backbone Maintenance

Tonight between 10 and 11PM, we will be replacing a core switch at our San Jose POP. We will be moving all traffic off that switch, via redundant paths before the maintenance begins, so there should be no customer impact. This switch replacement is one of the first steps in our network backbone upgrade.

-Jared and Nathan

Update: This maintenance was completed at approximately 1AM. The switch replacement was completed without incident.

ATM Customer Aggregation Router Reload

This Tuesday, March 23 at 12:01 AM, we will be performing a maintenance reload on our ATM customer aggregation routers. This will result in 5-10 minutes of downtime for Business-T and FRATM customers.

-Jared

Update: The maintenance reload has been completed without incident. All affected customers are back online at this time.
