Maintenance Email

[jjavierweb]

Environment

• Python version: 3.6
• Peering Manager version: 1.1.1-dev

Proposed Functionality

Create a new template for sending emails to peers connected to a specific router when maintenance is going to be performed to send an email update to peers
This should be a simple template that goes over each peering session on a router, and gets the AS number, from there it uses the contact email information and based on a form that has the date and time of the maintenance and the time of outage expected
Then an email is sent to each peer

Use Case

If router x will be reloaded for an upgrade, we want to notify peers x,x,x,x via email with the information of date and time and duration

FYI, there is a draft standard for maintenance emails: https://github.com/jda/maintnote-std/blob/master/standard.md
And some tools like https://github.com/wasabi222/janitor use it.

I think a more general bulk email mechanism would be good. There is also the use case of reaching out peers that you don't have sessions with for an IX. So I guess you would want to do different criteria.

• Contact all peers on a router (both Direct and IX sessions)
• Contact all peers for an IX (ideally regardless of router)
• Contact all peers that are missing for an IX
