Dear Customers,

As a result of an aggregation router outage we experienced on 26-08-2021 at 03:04 CEST we have scheduled an emergency maintenance on 02-09-2021 between 06:00 CEST and 08:00 CEST. During this maintenance, we will upgrade the software version of our aggregation routers to a new version advised by our vendor. No impact will be caused by the upgrade as the routers are situated in a redundant MLAG setup and will be upgraded one-by-one.

More information regarding the outage of 26-08-2021 can be found on our Network Status page: https://rootlayer.net/billing/serverstatus.php?view=resolved

Please contact us if you face any difficulties or have any questions related to or during this maintenance.

Dear Customers,

We have experienced an aggregation router outage in Greenhouse Datacenters 1 in Westland. During the reboot of both (redundant) aggregation routers all connectivity was lost, and all servers in Greenhouse Datacenters 1 in Westland were unreachable.  We are currently still investigating the issue and will follow up shortly.

If you have any further questions related to this outage, please feel free to contact us at support@rootlayer.net 

Update 05:10 CEST: We're suspecting a software bug on our aggregation routers. We're currently escalating with our vendor to investigate further.

Update 08:31 CEST: We just got confirmed this outage has been caused by a software bug by our vendor. The bug was listed with a low severity as it gets hit under very rare circumstances. We are planning a non-impacting upgrade for next week, during this upgrade we will upgrade the redundant aggregation routers one-by-one.

Note: This is not a global issue. Just for Westland (Netherlands) Datacenter users.

Dear Customers,

In order to improve the quality of our network, we have network maintenance planned on 25-08-2021 between 06:00 CEST and 08:00 CEST. During the maintenance, we will upgrade the software on two of our core and one of our distribution routers. Since these routers are situated in a redundant setup the impact will be kept to a minimum. We expect minor impact on running traffic streams to switch paths, once when the maintenance starts and once more when we place the routers back in production.

Please contact us if you face any difficulties or have any questions related to or during this maintenance. You can easily reach us on

In order to improve the quality of our network, we are planning a network maintenance on Thursday 14th December 2017 between 06.00 CET and 08:00 CET.
During the maintenance we will replace our existing core router with a new one with more port density.
Since the router is situated in a redundant setup the impact will be minimal.
We expect minor impact on some interfaces which could result in short bursts of high latency and small amounts of packet loss for a total of two times of 5 minutes within this timeframe.

Please contact us if you face any difficulties or have any questions related to this maintenance.
You can easily reach us on support@rootlayer.net


Please note that the servers marked with *Evo* are excluded from this maintenance. 

Sorry for the inconvenience & Many thanks for your support.

I am sending you this mailing to inform you of a scheduled maintenance which will take place in the upcoming weeks, to upgrade our network from 10 Gbit to 100 Gbit uplinks.
In order to do this with as little downtime as possible, we need to make preparations, so we are ready for a smooth migration.

Over the past couple of months, our network has been growing exponentially, so this upgrade is critical to support our future growth. Our current core network is currently capable of around 240 Gbit/s.
After the migration, we'll have a core backbone of 640 Gbit with expandable options to >3 Tbit/s.

Please write the following date in your agenda:

Friday 6th October 2017 @ 7:00-7:30h AM CEST. (preparation)

Start hour: 7:00 CEST
End hour: 7:30h CEST (30 Minutes later)

ETA downtime: max 15 minutes for a core routing reboot

Another maintenance window will follow 1 week later, to do the final upgrade to 100 Gbit ports.

We are currently facing STP flapping on some of our routers which is causing timeouts on a part of our datacenter. We are very sorry for the problems that may occure with the connection to your servers.

Our networking team has handled the issues with highest priority and they found a bug on a certain type of network switches RootLayer uses. This caused the switches to overload, the switches in return started to reload. This is what caused the down-time. Our networking team has completely removed the protocol which caused the bugs from the named switches and blocked all traffic that communicated with this protocol. The network has now stabilized and we can assure you that this issue has been permanently solved. We would like to thank you for your faith in RootLayer and we would like to offer our sincere apologies for the inconveniences with the network lately.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Today we experienced an outage in our network caused by a broken linecard located in a segment of our network. The broken linecard caused issues to other network segments too, we are still investigating how this could have impacted other network segments. The linecard has been replaced and all services have been restored.
Apologies for any caused inconvenience.

Regarding a network outage on one of our core switches.

A small part of our network faced some increased latency or packet loss due to a non responsive core switch. A full reload has been performed on this device and all connections are restored.
The cause of the issue is currently being investigated as our main concern was the recovery of your services.
