Estimated Downtime:
The the network core is engineered to be redundant in its many layers and it is this redundancy which allows us to perform these procedures without any expected downtime. Both maintenance tasks do involve working on the networking core/edge and as a precaution from any unintended side effects, we are bringing this maintenance to your attention. No downtime or packet loss is expected, but if any does occur, our team will be doing their very best to mitigate the effects on our clients and their websites.
