SoftLayer has posted an announcement about some failing network hardware in their Seattle datacenter.  We have several boxes over there for our Cerb4 On-Demand service.  So far we’ve only noticed one of our machines having packet loss issues.

They were originally planning to swap the failing equipment at midnight (CDT), but the deteriorating situation has forced them to swap it immediately.  Their latest announcement says the maintenance started at 6:30PM CDT (4:30PM PDT) and should last about 15 minutes.

This is an upstream network issue and doesn’t involve the hardware on our machines; there is no impact to any data.
