    Maintenance has completed successfully.

    Since July 23, 2025, the setup has been successfully operating in active-active mode on both routers.

    even if everything is currently running, the measures are not yet fully completed. we will leave this window open until all work is completed so that parallel operation of the routers works without any problems. at the moment, however, gretap, vxlan, wireguarda and gre should work until we continue later.

    since about 06:04 the load is already fully active on the new routers, please open a ticket if you encounter problems, currently everything seems to have worked as planned.

    We are planning for a scheduled maintenance during that time.

    This is our response to repeated minor interruptions since the migration from FRA1 to FFM1. Specifically, we will:

    - Increase the total processing bandwidth from 20 Gbps to 80 Gbps, i.e. quadruple it.

    - Replace the currently heavily loaded system with 2 new future-proof systems

    - Switchover to a BGP multipath setup for consistent redundancy and maximum reliability

    For affected customers, this means that there may be several outages during the maintenance-window until the work has been completed.

    We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
