My wife isn't impressed either, but I can impress my kids with graphs! One thing you could add would be this BGP Monitoring template - it baselines the # of prefixes for each BGP neighbor and then has additional lines for inbound/outbound updates. BGP Monitor - this one worked for me http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=36770&start=30 BGP - "broken" version - I couldn't get this one to work right, but you can see what it does http://crunchtools.com/software/crunchtools/cacti/grpah-bgp-neighbors/ Here's an example of the graphs produced from the BGP sessions on our MICE router: <http://www.elizabethandjames.com/temp/AS53679-bgp-monitor.png>http://www.elizabethandjames.com/temp/AS53679-bgp-monitor.png http://www.elizabethandjames.com/temp/AS6939-bgp-monitor.png -James ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Both ASes directly peering and subsidiary customer ASes, or ASes transited to MICE, would be cool too.

Would you be willing to share those scripts? It seems like it could be useful to graph the number of routes received on my other peering sessions.

Re: New MICE Looking Glass

by Jeremy Lumby

I appreciate the work, it is looking better all the time. Would it be possible to list the Mice Member's name on the individual graphs? The only other minor thing I could think of to clean things up is to remove the original MICE switch from Cacti since the switch is no longer in the rack.

Re: MICE Port Fees

by Ryan Goldberg

I like this best-of-both-worlds model. We are a teeny tiny and it was mildly challenging to make the biz case for joining. Now that we are in, the value has been demonstrated to my boss, and if we needed to drop $250/yr on it, no one would sneeze. Ryan -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of Nevin Lyne Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 2:52 PM To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] MICE Port Fees On the idea of port fees and the idea of free as a marketing tool why not simply combine the two? Outside of the initial optics needed anyone connecting to the exchange gets their first year of port fees (for a single port) free. After that first year if they don't see the value of the exchange (not sure how they could not) then they have had no out of pocket expense. Need a second port? or on your anniversary date there is an annual port fee, paid annually of $250 for GigE and $1500 for 10GE. If there is an estimated ~$10k/yr for stuff needed outside of hardware upgrades, 30 members on GigE would cover $7500 of that... I am an indirect member as I take advantage of MICE via IPHouse, but at those prices I would pay for a port annually I don't even directly use myself. Theses costs are insignificant compared to the value and/or anything else expense wise I can think of off the top of my head towards my operational costs. -- Nevin Lyne -- Founder / Director of Technology -- EngineHosting.com -- 888-576-HOST or 612-234-8964 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Re: Akamai traffic

by David Farmer

The precise answer is probably yes, they will be two different nodes and will probably have somewhat different demand and therefore different cache profiles. But, it is my understanding that they will be more or less equivalent and have more or less access to the same content, so functionally they should be equivalent. FYI, the traffic profile you receive may change a little as the University's node is a bit over loaded right now especially during daytime hours. So, you may receive mor traffic once the MICE node comes online. -- =============================================== David Farmer Email:farmer@umn.edu Networking & Telecommunication Services Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952 =============================================== On Oct 13, 2011, at 14:59, Mike Wilker <mwilker(a)JAGCOM.NET> wrote: > Is the Akamai cluster at MICE going to have any different content than the one at U of M? > > Mike Wilker > Chief Technical Officer > Jaguar Communications > 507-214-0259 > mwilker(a)jagcom.net > > > > On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 12:06 AM, Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> wrote: > On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 11:01:15PM -0500, Frank Bulk wrote: > > There was discussion on NANOG today about Akamai usage spiking because of Apple iOS updates.
