IST network will be replacing the hardware for one of the campus core routers.

The other core router will continue to carry traffic during the maintenance and no service interruption is expected.

One of the two DHCP servers providing network address assignments to the UC Berkeley campus will be physically moved to a new rack and network location.

During the time the DHCP server is offline network assignments may be delayed for some customers (less than a minute) due to the the way redundancy works with the DHCP protocol.

Summary
We are updating the operating system on our servers on Wednesday, May 1, beginning at 19:00 UTC.

We will be applying an important operating system update to our servers on Wednesday, May 1, beginning at 19:00 UTC. We anticipate that the work will take approximately two hours.

During some of this time, volunteers will not be able to upload or download new work, and the website will not be accessible.

Volunteers will not need to take any particular action, as your devices will automatically retry their connections after the maintenance work is completed.

Even better, read 2 good books. The project returns once you've finished them. :-)

IST Network have a temporary work-around in place to stabilize the network while continuing to investigate the cause.

All services should be available.

The outage starts and the DL are now happening, very slowly, but happening (about few KBps only)

I've had no problems at all with downloads - maybe that's an internet routing problem?

But uploads have been requiring multiple retries - I hope they give Bruno a good scrub behind the ears while they have the chance.
