As received from NAC:
On Sunday, October 31st, 2004 Net Access Corporation will be performing
service-affecting network maintenance in Newark, NJ (node code: NWR). The
maintenance window will commence at 2:00am EST.

During this maintenance window we will be upgrading the JunOS code on
gbr2.nwr.nac.net. The upgrade process will require us to reload
gbr2.nwr.nac.net twice since we are going from version 5.x to 6.x.

In addition to this maintenance affecting customers directly homed of
gbr2.nwr.nac.net, it will also affect customers in the following nodes:

Toronto, ON
London, UK

We do not anticipate more than 15 minutes of downtime.

Net Access Corporation sincerely apologizes for any inconveniences this
may cause you. We appreciate your cooperation while we upgrade our
network for present and future capacity and resiliency. If you have any
questions concerning this maintenance window, please do not hesitate to
contact our 24x7 Network Operations Center at +1.973.590.5050, or via
e-mail to network@nac.net. Please reference ticket number 1300987.


Best regards,

As indicated, the NAC link will go down, and traffic will have to re-route on Sunday October 31st, around 2:00am. Customers should expect to see a 0-3 minute hiccup to any traffic passing over the NAC link, as BGP re-routes to alternate paths.
