Linode Problems

Linode have made a further announcement:

We will be performing an emergency service-affecting network maintenance in our US-Central (Dallas) data center from 00:00 (CST) until 04:00 (CST) [(06:00 until 10:00 UTC)] on Wednesday, November 23rd. This maintenance is to address issues identified from the incident that occurred earlier today at our US-Central (Dallas) Data Center. At this time, we believe the root cause is isolated to a single redundant switch pair. During this service-affecting maintenance, customers may see an increased chance of increased latency or packet loss.

Linode is experiencing problems in its Dallas Servers. This is having a knock on effect on our availability so you may experience some site issues. We are aware of the problems but there is nothing we can do.

• Update - Our Engineers are still performing emergency maintenance in Dallas within our routing environment. We will provide additional updates as soon as possible.
