Update

The majority of our services in Frankfurt POP have been reinstated. During the initial reboot, we detected a bug linked to the server's NIC cards, and we had to mostly revert to an earlier version of the faulty firmware, which consumed some time. At present, we are keeping an eye on our entire system to ensure that all of the services are operational and performing as they were prior to the incident.

Update

Due to the Kernel panic we had in this POP, it forced us to manually reboot some of our machines. They are currently booting back and we expect the traffic flow to be normal very soon.

Identified

Because our Frankfurt Point of Presence (POP) has been rapidly expanding, and primarily due to a Linux kernel issue, we have encountered an unanticipated restriction on our routing equipment which is resulting in sporadic packet loss.
