Upstream BGP maintenance

Posted by Blue Box Group on Thu Jul 29 21:08:00 UTC 2010

On Friday, July 30th, 2010 (tonight) starting at 12:45am PDT (07:45 UTC) one of our upstream network providers will be performing routine maintenance on one of their routers to which we’re connected. In preparation for this, we’ll be shutting down our BGP session with them a few minutes prior to this event, and then bringing it back up again a few minutes after their maintenance is done. While this is happening, traffic will automatically be re-routed over our other upstream network providers. Since this will be a controlled shutdown of the BGP session, we expect this to have almost no noticeable impact on any of our customers’ network connectivity as a result. Maintenance should be completed by 3:00am PDT (10:00am UTC) at the latest– however it’s likely to get done much sooner than that.

Update 2:00am PST (9:00am UTC): This network maintenance is now complete. As expected, everything went off without any problems, and no down-time was experienced as a result of this work.
