Due to the disabling of upstreams, various side effects were observed, including congestion between Cogent <-> Arelion, most likely due to the outage in EQ5. As the situation with the upstreams remained stable, we decided that the side effects outweighed the benefits of proactive mitigation, and the sessions have been re-enabled.

We will continue to monitor the situation and intervene when necessary.

We are aware of increased ambient temperature in FRA EQ5. While no compute is hosted there, we connect towards multiple carrier in the location for network connectivity. As of right now, no impact is observed. As pro-active mitigation, all direct connectivity via EQ5 has been drained.

This impacts the following upstreams

• Arelion
• Sparkle
• Orange

Once situation is resolved, all carrier will be re-enabled.
