+
+## Planned maintenance
+
+Routine CNI-disruptive maintenance is planned work that can interrupt traffic on an affected CNI connection. Cloudflare coordinates this work across resilient Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) deployments, including across CNI locations.
+
+### Timing and scheduling
+
+For Dataplane v2 connectivity in multi-homed PoPs only:
+
+- **Routine maintenance**: Minimum one week notice.
+- **Emergency maintenance**: Best-effort notice, which may be less than one week.
+- Routine maintenance on redundant devices at the same location will occur on different days.
+- Routine maintenance is not rescheduled to accommodate customer schedule preferences.

+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |

+| Two CNI connections on separate devices at one location                                                          | One connection remains in service.        |
+| Four CNI connections across two coordinated locations, with two connections on separate devices at each location | Three connections remain in service.      |
+
+## Emergency and non-routine maintenance
+
+Non-routine maintenance, such as maintenance that affects an entire PoP, can affect all CNI connections at the affected location. For the four-connection deployment with two connections at each of two locations, a full-PoP non-routine event at one location can interrupt two connections, leaving two in service. Cloudflare avoids performing non-routine maintenance at multiple coordinated locations at the same time.
+
+Cloudflare coordinates emergency maintenance across locations where feasible.
+
+## Receive maintenance notifications
+
+To configure circuit-specific or point-of-presence (PoP) maintenance notifications, refer to [Monitoring and alerts](/network-interconnect/monitoring-and-alerts/).

-## Understanding maintenance and availability
+For maintenance expectations and notifications, refer to [Maintenance](/network-interconnect/maintenance/).
 
-Also refer to [Monitoring and alerts](/network-interconnect/monitoring-and-alerts).
-
-Regular network maintenance may impact Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) connectivity.
-
-- **Maintenance impact**: Maintenance windows average six hours. Customers who are not redundantly connected to diverse devices, for instance in single-homed PoPs, will experience a complete service disruption on CNI in that location.
-- **Designing for availability**: For critical applications, deploy CNI in locations that support diversity on the device level (multi-homed PoPs). Cloudflare does not guarantee coordinated maintenance between PoP locations.

-## Maintenance expectations
-
-### Notice periods
-
-For Dataplane v2 connectivity in multi-homed PoPs only:
-
-- **Routine maintenance**: Minimum two business days notice.
-- **Emergency maintenance**: Best-effort notice, which may be less than two business days.
-
-To receive advance alerts, configure [CNI maintenance notifications](/network-interconnect/monitoring-and-alerts/).
-
-### Scheduling patterns
-
-- Maintenance on redundant devices at the same location may occur on consecutive days with a minimum 16-hour gap between windows.
-- Cloudflare does not coordinate maintenance timing between different PoP locations.
-- Routine maintenance is generally not rescheduled to accommodate customer schedule preferences.
