Circuit Upgrade

[IronBits]

Cox is upgrading the circuit backbone to 1GB.
This should help the network performance overall.
The downtime is between 8am and 12 noon tomorrow.
That's Phoenix, AZ. time, or -7 GMT if you prefer.
I'm hoping it's not going to take them 4 hours to splice a circuit!
Everything will be affected -
http://www.Free-DC.org/forum
http://stats4.Free-DC.org
http://stats3.Free-DC.org
pproxy.Free-DC.org for our DNET pproxy Server
Both LLRNET Servers on port 5000 + 8000 and CRUS Servers on port 4+6 as well.

All the hosted sites we have including Seventeen or Bust
http://www.free-dc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=38
and EON
http://www.free-dc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=61
and mine to
http://www.ironbits.net/index.shtml
and several others will be down and out.

Hopefully this will be the last upgrade/downtime!

I guess we generated soo much unexpected (by them) traffic they first moved our IP to another segment, which didn't fix it enough for them, so now they want to upgrade the backbone to ensure we don't have problems in the future

If you need to cache some OGR/RC5 WUs, now is the time.
