We will replace the current 4*10G of the New York EQUINIX IX exchange point with 1*100G.
The New York POP is a \"satellite\" of Newark, we decided to directly connect this exchange point on Newark to improve the redundancy of the latter.
In addition, it will allow us not to be limited in bandwidth on this exchange point (now the New York POP is connected via 10G DWDM).
During this maintenance traffic will be rerouted on other exchange points.

We are isolating traffic on the point of exchange.
