On Tuesday Nov 13 at 9:20am EST (14:20 UTC), we will modify the routing 
on the Public switch at the NWS Telecommunications Gateway (NWSTG

A maintenance period of 20 min  is scheduled, but we expect the actual 
downtime will be less.

Included are remote locations that come across public paths, such as, 
Internet, Internet2, Silver Spring Campus, SSMC2, NOAANet(e.g., regions, 
NDBC).  Access to all public and private NWSTG servers in Silver Spring 
and at the BTG across public paths may be affected.
Radar Level 2 data may be affected.

*Traffic between directly connected customers and NWSTG will NOT be 
affected.*

If the scheduled date is designated a Critical Weather Day, the outage 
will be postponed.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this outage may cause.  Please
