Hello,

Over the last several days we have had interruptions at multiple times in our service with Cogent due to them 
performing router code updates on multiple nodes. I know that some companies put these sorts of updates on hold 
during the holiday season but I was wondering if anyone has heard of any unannounced security flaws that only larger 
companies such as Cogent would be privy to?

I am certain that if you have heard of these flaws you cannot post the details but a simple yes or no about the 
existence of such a thing is plenty for me.

Nothing I’m aware of.  I know we are rolling new XR releases as well this season to address operational issues we’ve 
been having.  I expect they are doing similar for their platforms, etc.
