Fiber outage - AMS Montag 31st Januar 2022 20:06:00


At 20:06, the fiber optic line to Amsterdam (AMS) of the data center failed. The reasons for this are currently still unclear. Shortly afterwards, the traffic was automatically completely routed via Frankfurt. Unfortunately, there was a downtime for the data traffic, which partially ran via Amsterdam, for a few seconds until the BGP hold timer expired.

Currently all traffic runs via Frankfurt, there are no limitations. We apologize for this incident and will provide updates here.

The fiber optic line between the Skylink data center and the NIKHEF data center in Amsterdam has been online again since 08:39. The reason for the outage was a defect in a line card at an intermediate station of the fiber optic line in Maastricht.
