Linode Connectivity Issues - London

May 9, 15:40 UTC
Postmortem - After working with the vendor we have attributed the connectivity issues that some customers have experienced in London to a software bug which affects the forwarding plane of our core routers. The bug caused instability on the LAN during a short period of time on May 3rd and on May 9th, during this time customers may have seen degraded connectivity to their Linodes in our London DC. We have been vetting a new software release for these LAN components and will be deploying that software version into production during a new maintenance window. Follow up maintenance notifications will be sent out to customers with the date and time of the software upgrades.
