The new portal has been tested quite thoroughly in a lab environment with dummy data. Now it’s live we want to make sure we don't break anything, so we are testing with the live data and enabling things as and when we are confident they are functioning correctly. So far we have found a few minor issues that have been fixed and I can confirm that the encap feed to the gateway server at UCSD is all working as it should with updates now being pushed once an hour.

As I am sure you can appreciate we could only simulate this until we went live with the new portal. To ensure nothing got broke, i.e. the entire IPIP mesh taken down, we paused the RIP updates until testing confirmed the new feed was working satisfactorily. I’m sure you all appreciate this methodical approach and I am also sure that the RIP updates getting paused for a little while will not have caused any problems, as Neil said: “It’s just a hobby” - HI

To confirm, RIP updates are now unpaused and will be populated once an hour from data in the new portal.

If anyone finds any anomalies please email newportal@ardc.net with as much detail as you can about the issue you are seeing.

Thanks for your patience.
