Next Saturday and Sunday, we finally have the long-awaited network restructuring happening.
These changes are necessary to improve the performance and reliability of our network.
To minimise the impact on you, we’ve planned to carry out the restructuring early in the day. During these times, there are usually fewer users online, which should reduce any inconvenience.
The scheduled offline periods will each last about an hour. We understand that this may be a bit inconvenient temporarily, but we are confident that the long-term benefits will outweigh any short-term inconveniences.
We appreciate your understanding in advance.
Update Nov 25th 2023 4:15 PM:
Yesterday, Malte worked until 11:30 PM, and Lucas until 1:00 AM, preparing and configuring.
The implementation of network changes started this morning at 10:00 AM and resulted in a longer network interruption across the entire network (student housing and dormitories) at 10:30 AM.
The interruption lasted from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM and then from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM. The work was completed by 3:30 PM, and the last device came back online at 4:00 PM.
During the cleanup following the work, no further outages are expected.
Whether work will be needed again on Sunday depends on whether disruptions are reported to us or if we discover issues that are not functioning as desired.
