Nice idea and indeed a hot topic of our times. I believe many of us not only experienced new traffic peaks (that give nice topics for the marketing people to publish) but also had to face difficult challenges like: - emergency upgrades on the internal network - emergency customer upgrades (like up and running in 2-3 hours) - equipment under stress/overload - restricted access to datacenter And I’m sure I forget some more, but I would be glad to hear more stories from the fellow IXP colleagues. > Feel free to let us know your thoughts, > > Stay safe, healthy and wash your hands, > > Best regards, > > Florence, Remco and Will > Connect-WG co-chairs > -- > Florence Lavroff / [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> / +31 6 11 > 01 55 80 <> > Infrastructure Acquisition and Interconnect / Google EMEA > _______________________________________________ > connect-wg mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/connect-wg Stay safe and we see each other virtually on RIPE-80 Best regards, Stavros Konstantaras | Sr. Network Engineer | AMS-IX M +31 (0) 620 89 51 04 | T +31 20 305 8999 ams-ix.net
