During the night 3 to 4 november, at 1 AM, Dataplace will have a maintenance on the dark fiber.

The line will be interrupted between 1 AM and 2 AM. This only affects traffic towards GSA, and will automatically pass through AM7 via our ring network when the maintenance starts.

For customers with own wave services, this path will go down for up to an hour and should be fully restored after the maintenance is complete.

As the emergency maintenance last week showed success, we going to schedule reloads of the routers of DBC as well as DBA to apply new settings to IPv6.

9Th of November at 7:30 CET:
We will reload R1 of DBA.

10Th of November at 7:30 CET:
We will reload R2 of DBC.

11Th of November at 7:30 CET:
We will reload R1 of DBC.

As IPv6 continues to give issues, we are hereby reloading router 2 to apply new settings to combat the ongoing issues of IPv6.

We will make sure that the traffic falls back on R1 before the reload.

Update 9:21:
As the router R2 is back in production, we also will be reloading R1 to bring these settings in effect.

Update 10:18:
Both routers are reloaded with new settings and confirmed that the issue is resolved.

We got a notice today from the datacenter that the power company Liander is doing an emergency maintenance tomorrow to repair a 10Kv ring in Amsterdam.

Initially this was planned for 2022 but they moved it way back to 20th of October to be able to guarantee a good working electricity grid.

The datacenter themselves were also only informed about this today.

We asked for some assurances and they assured us that no outages are expected as they have UPSsses, generators and have a company bring an extra generator as well.

We will be monitoring the situation closely tomorrow.

We have planned an upgrade of network capacity towards TI Sparkle.

During this maintenance all TI Sparkle traffic will be automatically rerouted over our other transits and peering connections.
