As part of ongoing efforts to improve network reliability and path diversity, we will be performing maintenance to swap in a new fiber segment within our diverse inter-datacenter route.

Over the past two weeks, we have been testing a new connection designed to expand and strengthen the redundancy of our NIKHEF fiber ring network.

Potential Impact:
Due to the redundant design of our fiber ring, there is expected to be no impact on service stability or performance. Traffic will temporarily reroute through an alternate path for approximately 10 - 20 minutes while the fiber exchange is completed.

Our NOC team will be actively monitoring the process and will be present on-site at the data center to ensure smooth execution and immediate response to any unexpected events.
