+===== Withdrawing BGP announcements =====
+In case you need to take the server offline for maintenance and you have a dynamic setup i.e. you yourself is advertising the routes via the BGP daemon on your server, it is sufficient to simply stop the BGP session on your side before the maintenance begins. Once the session is down, the advertisements for will be withdrawn automatically.
+After the maintenance is completed, you can start the session again and the prefixes will be re-advertised as before.
