Scheduled network maintenance in London LDeX datacentre

What?
We plan to reconnect fiber links, providing connectivity to one of our racks, to another router in the same facility. This is part of our network topology optimization project, the goal of the project is to change logical configuration of the network for higher flexibility, provide better throughput within the network and increase network reliability by reducing complexity.
Where?
The maintenance will affect customers in our LDeX point of presence in London, specifically, cloud customers on OnApp infrastructure and reseller accounts on lrs1.layerip.com and lrs2.layerip.com servers.
When?
Maintenance window will run from 9PM to 9:30PM GMT on Monday, 18th of September.
Expected impact:
Affected clients will experience short (less than 10 minutes) Internet connectivity loss at some moment during the maintenance window.
Fallback plan:
Router configurations don’t change during the maintenance, thus, we will be able to quickly restore previous fiber connections layout in case of any unexpected behavior, which is full roll-back of the change.

Our support team will be (as usually) available in ticket system and live chat during the maintenance, so please feel free to ask any questions or provide any feedback.
