Dear Colleagues,

Just to provide you with a brief update, as we also just shared a quick update 
with the colleagues of DGCONNECT based on our observations this week.

So far, we are not aware of any major issues caused by the increased load. You 
may have seen that some of our colleagues have also been looking at data 
collected by our Routing Information System and they also conclude that there 
are no significant changes 
(https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/internet-stability-in-times-of-corona 
<https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/internet-stability-in-times-of-corona>).

We did point out the issue of site access, as it was mentioned here, and also 
flagged that issues might arise from disruptions in the supply-chain and global 
logistics that our industry depend on, also for instance for timely deliver of 
spare parts.

In return, they pointed us to an earlier statement by BEREC,which lays out some 
of the efforts taken by the national regulatory agencies to monitor the 
evolution of traffic patterns. The same document also makes reference to the 
exceptions granted under the Open Internet Regulation with regards to traffic 
management measures that networks are allowed to take to prevent or mitigate 
network congestion.
