Several short notices have been posted this past week on the Network News items concerning the complex move of all the circuits and equipment serving the Kuhkenah Network partner communities. All the routers, switches and connections have now been successfully relocated from the Education Network of Ontario's server room at 20 Toronto Street over to the Teleco vault at 151 Front Street.

Cutover the Bell access to 151 Front Street. Move of the PVCs went smooth. However, some circuits are experiencing significant packet loss. Problem is being addressed by Bell tester.

We appreciate all the K-Net users' support and patience as we completed this move and apologize to everyone who might have experienced any brief interruptions to their service during this move.

This strategic move opens up more opportunities for Kuhkenah Network partner communities to be able to access other networks easily. Most major networks including Bell, Telus, AllStream, CANARIE, etc are located in this same facility providing direct routes to their partners, when proper arrangements are made.

An example of how this move will benefit K-Net is our direct fibre connection to the NORTH Network from 20 Toronto Street will eventually no longer be required resulting in significant cost savings. Another direct route to NORTH Network can now be established from the co-location facilities at 151 Front Street.

Thanks to Dan and Adi who have been working hard over the past few months to arrange this relatively seamless but critical transition of the Kuhkenah Network! Whenever K-Net users barely know that such a major achievement has been successful implemented without any interruption to their services, everyone can rest assure that we are in good hands.
