Friends, As part of the long term ambition to provide the Internet root nameservers with extremely stable homes in all possible respects we plan to change the source autonomous system for i.root-servers.net from AS8674 (NETNOD INTERNET EXCHANGE) to AS29216 (dedicated as I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET). We hope that after this change i.root-servers.net will never have to change source AS again. We intend to implement this change next week during the NANOG29 conference. Please note: a) This is a planned operation, not an emergency. b) We will not change the IP adress of the i.root-servers.net service, only the source AS. c) We will not change any of the several servers providing the i.root-servers.net service in any way. It will be the same servers at the same locations providing exactly the same service as usual. Regards, Johan Ihrén Autonomica
