We will be continuing our project to improve both the performance and maintainability of our network, by moving many of the servers that work behind the scenes onto a new network.

There will be a 6 hour stretch of maintenance work on Tuesday, the 26th of May, between 12am and 6am PST.

Expected impact on your Second Life Experience includes but is not limited to:

* Regions restarted during this time frame won’t restart
* Logins might be affected
* Downloading new viewer software and other website functionalities might be affected
* Crossing between neighbouring regions as well as visibility of neighbouring regions might be impaired
* L$ transactions might not work or not be shown immediately; please do not make any L$ transactions during this time frame
* XML-RPC might be not working
* Estate settings might appear wrongly or not responsive to changes
* Some Residents might get logged off

We will update this post when the work starts, keep you posted during the process or if we run into any unexpected difficulties, and when we’ll be finished.

In other words, why bother to login during these hours?

I read some time ago in some blog announcement about changing the type of network used
from VPN to some other more dedicated form of network. Clearly I am a bit fuzzy on the details. Does anyone else know more or have links to this. I remember when reading the announcement that it sounded like a pretty big deal. And I was hopeful about the possibility of improved performance and stability as a result.

Ok I just found a couple, I am not a network expert but I think going to a fiber optic ring is a much more serious tech and robust form of network. Hopefully this is what they are working on if they haven't implented this already. I do not think they have as it seems there would have been some big announcement about it.
