Dear All, We will attach a new network card on RRC07 at 15th of April, 2004 CET between 13:00 and 16:00. During that time you will see the session drops with RRC07. Purpose of adding a new card is to connect RRC07 directly to the Gigabit Ethernet peering LAN. If you have a peering session with us, please note that our peering IP address would be changed after the maintenance window. We kindly ask you to change BGP config on your side by using the following IP address at 15th of April, 2004 CET after 16.00. IP address: 194.68.123.147 AS number: 12654 RRC07 would be connected directly to the Gigabit Ethernet peering LAN, so you do not need to configure EBGP-multihop with us. It should be native BGP session. If you do not have a peering session with RIS Project, then this might be a nice opportunity to you configure a peering session with RIS Project. To get more information about RIS, please visit our WEB site, http://www.ripe.net/ris/ If you would have any questions, please feel free to contact with us. Kind regards, Arife Vural, RIPE NCC RIS Project
