Dear Colleagues, On Tuesday, 31 October 2006, there will be planned maintenance on the Routing Information Service (RIS). This work will increase the memory of our Remote Route Collector (RRC) connected to the London Internet Exchange (LINX). The RRC will be shut down between 14:30 and 16:00 (UTC). LINX staff will then upgrade the memory. If no problems occur, the upgrade should take no more than 15 minutes. During the maintenance, no routing data will be collected on this RRC and the looking glass for it will not be available. Other services, including the looking glass and data collection for the other RRCs, will not be affected. We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience this maintenance may cause. If you have any questions about this work, please e-mail: ris@ripe.net Regards, Erik Romijn RIS Operations RIPE NCC
