We've observed at 05:06, NL time, that a linecard responsible for AMS-IX connectivity on our EQX-AM7 router went down. After checking that the linecard indeed was unresponsive, we powercycled it. We saw the ports come back up at 05:25 and BGP sessions over AMS-IX were restored. This proved not to remain stable and we are looking at replacing the linecard.

The AMS-IX sessions with our other router are not affected by this.

Update 2025-10-23, 7:26 We have replaced the linecard and are monitoring the situation. AMS-IX port is not coming up despite showing good lightlevels. We will follow-up with AMS-IX to resolve this.

Currently we have a fiber outage in BNR (Bytesnet Rotterdam), we have contacted the darkfiber provider to investigate the situation.

Update 21:20 - We see the connection restored. We will continue to monitor and seek the cause of this.

Update 23-10-2025 10:00 - We once again had this fault occur and are urging our provider to find the cause of this.

Due to power issues, several of our websites went down. Some emails sent to our ticketing system may have been delayed.

We are sorry for this inconvenience and aim to fully restore power, as we are currently running on a single feed.

No customer equipment has been affected by this.

Currently we have a switch outage in Rack D-2-11 in NZS (Nedzone Steenbergen), we have an engineer on-site to investigate the situation.

We're currently replacing the faulty switch.

Update: The switch is replaced and connectivity is restored.

Final Notice: Departure from DE-CIX and LINX Internet Exchanges

Dear Valued Peers and Partners,

As part of our commitment to delivering a high-quality, globally interconnected network,
we are concluding our participation in the DE-CIX and LINX internet exchanges.
This decision aligns with our strategy to optimize connectivity, expand network diversity, and ensure the best possible performance for our customers.

Over the past 12 months, we initiated a phased process to remove peering on these exchanges
and have communicated with peers to migrate to alternative arrangements.
For peers who have not yet responded or transitioned, we will cease all peering over DE-CIX and LINX in the upcoming week.

Our Commitment to Quality and Growth

We remain highly diligent in expanding and improving our network. Our focus includes:

• Enhancing network diversity by continually evolving our strategy and partnerships with transit providers.


• Prioritizing geographic redundancy and connectivity to ensure our customers benefit from a stable, high-performance network.


• Actively engaging with peers and partners to foster a collaborative, well-distributed internet ecosystem.

Moving Forward

- We are available for peering via other exchanges such as NL-ix, AMS-ix, ERA-ix, and BBIX.

- We welcome peering requests according to our peering policy at PeeringDB and are happy to explore connections in any of our PoP locations.

If you wish to peer with us or discuss alternative arrangements, please contact us at
noc@nforce.com.
We are eager to collaborate with partners who share our vision of building a stronger, more interconnected internet.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to enhance the quality of our network and connectivity.

Best regards,

NOC Team
