Istop has finally decided to upgrade their Core router for Toronto. They've scheduled it on relatively short notice after recent problems with their connectivity failing due to increasing traffic needs by many of their customers (ourselves included).

Users will experience several 15-90 second disruptions in network performance during this time as Istop's network will be going up and down. This is about the amount of time it takes BGP to re-route traffic to alternative links when one fails.

Hopefully this should vastly improve the reliability of the Istop link over the coming months.
