Router Maintenance Causing Connectivity Loss Early 7/31

Between 3AM and 5AM EST on 7/31, our provider will be installing a custom firewall/router device between our equipment and InterNAP in Chicago. As a result of this fully-scripted maintenance, we expect that our Chicago services will be unreachable for 5-30 minutes (this includes all game servers and voice).

[FONT=verdana, arial]This new hardware will allow them to filter many common DDoS attacks out of the box, and respond quickly to effectively block and limit others without needing to contact InterNAP. With the recent explosion of DDoS attacks on game servers and the little effort and resources needed now by asshat d-bags to initiate one, this is a good thing[/FONT].
