Hello,
Over the last several days we have had interruptions at multiple times in our service with Cogent due to them performing router code updates on multiple nodes. I know that some companies put these sorts of updates on hold during the holiday season but I was wondering if anyone has heard of any unannounced security flaws that only larger companies such as Cogent would be privy to?
I am certain that if you have heard of these flaws you cannot post the details but a simple yes or no about the existence of such a thing is plenty for me.
Happy Holidays
Thanks,
-Drew
Nothing I’m aware of. I know we are rolling new XR releases as well this season to address operational issues we’ve been having. I expect they are doing similar for their platforms, etc.

Are they not doing these during maintenance windows? Anytime we get a notice from Cogent, Level3, Att they are always during a maintenance window at least a week ahead of time. We have yet to see any maintenance window notifications from Hurricane Electric. Maybe our circuit has never had to have one in a few years. Or maybe they have so much redundancy it doesn’t matter and we never see the maintenance.

FWIW I have a few Cogent circuits, The maintenance look normalish and
are all scheduled per their normal process, I aware of at least one
cisco bug related to source mac usage they had that was annoying if not
catastrophic since it was visible on our ports.
