Scheduled

IAA engineers will be progressively upgrading the BGP software on each exchange’s Route Server 2 to resolve an unsupported capability (RFC 9234) that recently caused a malformed update to propagate to peers. This work is being scheduled with shorter notice due to its severity and the redundancy provided by Route Server 1.

Start: 20/Oct/2025 23:00 (AEDT)
End: 21/Oct/2025 03:00 (AEDT)
Window: 4 hours
Expected downtime: Up to 30 minutes per exchange

Members with peering services should expect their BGP session toward route server 2 (RS2) to go down per exchange. Please ensure you are connected to Route Server 1 (RS1) on your relevant exchange to avoid impact. Session status can be confirmed via https://lg.ix.asn.au and for convenience each route server address is listed here.
