Customer Reference (ITSM): ITSM# 2026073010000551 | Internal Ref: CMT# 204807764969
Planned maintenance notification. Hiboo Networks will be performing a planned software upgrade on our QIX peering router at 1250 Rene-Levesque Blvd. West, Montreal, QC on Tuesday 18 August 2026, between 00:00 and 06:00. Your internet service stays up throughout. During the window you may see one short fluctuation of up to 10 minutes, and only on traffic exchanged with our QIX peering partners: Akamai (AS20940), OVHcloud (AS16276), i3D.net (AS49544), Continent 8 (AS14537), CBC/Radio-Canada (AS32563), Fibrenoire (AS22652) and QIX route servers (AS55176). Traffic to and from every other destination, including all TorIX-peered and transit-routed traffic, is unaffected. During the fluctuation, QIX traffic reroutes automatically over our TorIX peering in Toronto and our Zayo and Hurricane Electric transit; you may notice a brief change in latency to those networks but no loss of connectivity.
- Impact: Short fluctuation - 10 minutes you may notice a brief change in latency to those networks but no loss of connectivity. Short fluctuation - 10 minutes, QIX dataflows only

Ottawa DC02 Core Router Software Upgrade (Two-Hop)
COMPLETEDCompleted Window: Tuesday, August 25, 2026 | 00:00 – 06:00 EST
Customer Reference (ITSM): ITSM# 2026073110000095 | Internal Ref: CMT# 204945532891
Hiboo Networks will be performing a planned software upgrade on our Ottawa DC02 core router on Tuesday 25 August 2026, between 00:00 and 06:00. Your service is not taken down at any point and your access port is not touched. Traffic transiting this router may see two short routing convergence events of up to 10 minutes each while routing reconverges. The upgrade runs in two software hops on this chassis, which is why two events are expected rather than one. There is no complete loss of internet connectivity at any point: our Ottawa data centres hold independent upstream transit (Zayo in DC01, Hurricane Electric in DC02) and all edge routers are dual-homed to both core routers, so traffic reroutes automatically. Customers taking a full BGP feed from this router will see their BGP session reset for the same period; prefixes stay advertised and reachable throughout. No action is required on your side.
- Impact: HARD OUTAGE - up to 30 minutes
- Event Type: PLANNED MAINTENANCE
- Customer Action: No action is required on your side.
