After a further patch of instability this morning we've made a number changes on the APE. - We've contacted people who had very low timer settings and had them changed to less aggressive settings. - We've upgraded the hardware of one of the route servers this afternoon. - On the other route server we deployed the changes to filtering that were discussed at NZNOG and in the postings Andy recently made to this list. These changes have resulted in much greater stability and the latter change has resulted in a significantly lower load on the route server still running on the old hardware. We anticipate rolling out a further hardware upgrade in the short term and will be deploying the changed filter lists tomorrow albeit with a relaxed set of rules that will allow /25- /29 prefixes. We'll be contacting customers we see still advertising those prefixes prior to us modifying the filters on 1 April to disallow them. If you missed Andy's posts the pertinent parts were - "If you advertise prefixes from /25 to /29 to the route servers they won't be accepted" and "When do we plan to do this? Soon. Like this month - so if you've got issues with this then please contact us directly at peering at citylink.co.nz" Thanks, The CityLink Team
