They have built a completely new network and this migration will finally move us over to that new network. This will eventually give us access to even more bandwidth and will also move us off of their "legacy" network. For now we're just moving from one 10G uplink to another 10G. But we're planning on upgrading this to 40G or 100G eventually.

We will be shutting down the current uplink on one router, and bringing up the new uplink on a different router. I will be on-site in case there are any major issues where I need to get direct access to the switches.
