Akamai Traffic on MICE
by David Farmer June 7, 2011

June 7, 2011

The 10G Akamai stack at the University is having an affect. The University turned up routing from the GigaPOP to MICE on its 10G link Tuesday around 8pm. The new paths were also announced to the Akamai route collector around that time too. Akamai started using these new paths around 1:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday. The University's 10G link peaked a little over 1G around 9:30pm last night. The bottleneck is the 1G link between the CNS 10G switch and the 4500. It was saturated from about 6:30pm to 9:30pm at about 950Mbps. Some of us are organizing to rectify the situation ASAP. There are some workarounds that could help in the very short-term, yet this morning, and we are looking to get the new Juniper switches with 10G up-links installed ASAP However, the earliest that can happen it this afternoon, as the switches are down in Mankato with Jay. There is a plan to get them up to 511 by mid-afternoon. Also I'll be watching the links and can modify our announcement to the Akamai route collector if necessary. Things are going to be fluid today. I'll just say that this is the kind of problem I like to see, if you are going to have to deal with any problem. That is the problem of over succeeding. -- =============================================== 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 =============================================== ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Re: New Member's Configured on BIRD
by David Farmer III May 25, 2011

In a way both are correct. The Northern Lights Gigapop (AS57) is the ISP transit provider AS operated by the University and is the AS peering at MICE. Northern Lights Gigapop is simply a DBA of the University. AS217 is the source AS for traffic from the University's campuses. AS1998 is the source AS for the State of MN and MNSCU's campuses. There are a number of other ASes that AS57 is transiting to MICE as well. I can create a new AS-set in the RADb containing the ASes that AS57 is transiting to MICE, if folks are interested let me know. Is anyone connected to MICE generating BGP or traffic filters from the RADb?

New Member's Configured on BIRD
by James Montz May 25, 2011

May 25, 2011

Added IPv4 and IPv6 Configuration for City of Windomw (ASN: 46692). Welcome! Also noticed that IPv6 config for UMN (ASN: 57) was not in, so added that as well. Maybe its a matter of semantics, but the website lists Northern Lights GigaPoP as ASN: 57, NOT UMN. --------------------------------------------------- *James C.

Cacti Graph using SNMPv1?
by Justin Krejci May 25, 2011

May 25, 2011

'micemn-gateway-2.micemn.net - Traffic - Gi0/2' in Cacti is exhibiting signs of using SNMPv1 counters (frequent gaps at higher bandwidth usage) Is this a known issue? If not I presume someone at iphouse can fix this easily. The "Fix64bit" plugin for Cacti is great for correcting this condition on the fly if my assumption on the problem is correct. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Traffic between 10Gig & 1Gig Switches
by Steve Howard May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

The traffic to/from the U shot up today. I'm guessing that is CDN related? The link between the CNS switch and the MICE switch shot up to ~850Mbps today. Too bad that is only a single gig connection! It is great to have the traffic on the exchange, but we should probably deal with this nearly saturated link fast. Here are a few possible solutions: 1) Add another Gig connection. We'd probably need to pay FWR for a cross-connect (CNS is paying for the first one) with this option; 2) Use one of the new Juniper switches with a 10Gig interface and connect that to a 10Gig interface on the existing MICE 10Gig switch, then move some of the 1Gig members over to those ports. This would require purchase of 10Gig optics for the Juniper and the existing 10Gig MICE switch; 3) Move some of the higher bandwidth MICE members to the 1Gig ports on the 10Gig switch. Would this increase the FWR cross-connect charges for those members if they are going from copper to fiber? 4) Encourage MICE members on the 1Gig switch to upgrade to a 10Gig connection; 5) Ask the U to not advertise some of the members on the 1Gig switch to CDNs (if that is the cause of the traffic load). This is a bummer if you are one of the networks that gets left out. I really don't like this option -- we are finally getting real traffic on the exchange and then we'd be cutting back. What does everybody think? Any other suggestions? ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

MICE Traffic
by Jay Hanke May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

We have seen a dramatic growth in traffic on the exchange. The GE link between the CNS remote switch and the Main switch is running about ~950 Mb/s. We're going to need to make some upgrades shortly to avoid degrading services. Perhaps more quickly than originally planned. We may need some volunteers and stuff depending on the course of action.
