Dear Peers and Customers, 
Aqaba IX is going to introduce two new route servers. We would like to ask you to carry out a configuration change on your equipment to reconfigure your BGP sessions for the Aqaba IX route servers between 2023-09-07 and 2023-09-14. 
Please find all required info below: 
rs1.aqabaix.com (new machine): 
IPv4: 84.252.106.252 
IPv6: 2a10:1100::3:2a9b:a:1 
rs2.aqabaix.com (new machine): 
IPv4: 84.252.106.253 
IPv6: 2a10:1100::3:2a9b:a:2 
You can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 BGP sessions beforehand, but please note that the new machines will not be made available/accept sessions before 2023-09-07. Important: Please configure these as additional sessions for now, and do not remove your old sessions yet! 
We will shut down the old route servers on 2023-09-14. 
Please also note that with the introduction of the new route servers we offer BGP communities to control your announcements, please see the following page for an overview:  https://intercom.help/de-cix/en/articles/8272442-aqaba-jordan-route-server-migration-overview You can deconfigure old sessions at your convenience after the corresponding route server goes out of operation. This concludes the migration of your BGP sessions to the new Aqaba IX route servers. 
Regards, 
DE-CIX Customer Service
