Thanks for the update Oles and thanks for the translation Andy.

I had a brief disconnection from my server earlier this evening, and so did all the OVH users in the IRC channel, would this be down to this work?

Only a brief disconnection, not even 5 mins.

Hello,
Starting from 22h until 6 am, there are works
on the fiber optic cable between Roubaix and Brussels. A
new railway line is built and we
resoldering must ask and optical fibers for
this work.

Learn more:
http://travaux.ovh.com/?do=details&id=2796

The result will be heavy enough at our level, since
we will lose the network directly to Brussels, Amsterdam
and Warsaw approximately 30Gbps traffic. This traffic is
can not go through the link Paris to Frankfurt 2x10G
and although we will not make the tour of Europe ...

We are going to cut the ads in Warsaw and BGP
Amsterdam (Brussels will be cut off). The traffic will be
automatically passed through London and Frankfurt, but
this should not happen without problems. We will
loss of packets to NL, DE and PL between 22:00
and 1:00 in the morning at least, probably UK too.

We are in the validation of new investment
in terms of our ability to work but they arrive
at the wrong time. That said, this work will help us
see if what you planned to do in the future will
avoid such problems short (few hours)
but problems still.

Amicalement

Hello,

From 10pm until 6am, some work will be carried out on the fiber optic network between Roubaix and Brussels. A new railway line is being built and we must reroute the fiber optics to enable this to work.

The consequence will be important for us, because we will lose the network directly to Brussels, Amsterdam and Warsaw, i.e. 30 Gbps traffic. This traffic can not go through Paris/Frankfurt of 2x10G and even if, we are not going to do the tour of Europe...

We are then going to cut the BGP in Warsaw and Amsterdam (Brussels will be cut). The traffic will be automatically redirected via London and Frankfurt but we should encounter some problems. Such as packet loss to NL, DE and PL between 10pm and 1am at least, and probably in UK too.

We are currently investing in new capacity in our network but these works come at the wrong time. Anyway, they will enable us to see what we plan to do, will enable us to avoid this kind of problem of short period (few hours) in the future but this is still a problem.

Regards,

Octave
