Subject: Emergency FL-IX portal and route sever upgrades - Monday, October 27th, 2025 @ 8pm Eastern Time

Greetings FL-IX Members,

As previously mentioned, due to ongoing concerns with the version of BIRD, the route server software we are running at FL-IX, we will be performing an emergency upgrade on Monday, October 27th at 8pm Eastern Time (-4 UTC).

The upgrade may take up to 3 hours to complete.

During this time, you will see rs02.ipv4 and rs02.ipv6 drop sessions and return. Please ensure that you have sessions built to all 4 route servers. Sessions to rs01.ipv4 and rs01.ipv6 will remain up and will not be affected by this maintenance. They will be upgraded at a later date.

Additionally, access to the FL-IX portal will be down during the duration of this maintenance.
