Akamai Agreement

by Jay Hanke

MICE has executed the agreement with Akamai for the dedicated cluster peered directly to MICE. Akamai will have a 10GE connection to the main switch. A special thanks to US Internet for providing bandwidth to feed the cluster and to FWR for working with us on the space and power. We will need some help with the installation when the equipment arrives. We expect to be operational around September 1st! -- Jay Hanke CTO, CCIE #19093 Mankato Networks LLC 320 East Liberty Street Mankato, MN 56001-3838 Google 530-618-2398 jayhanke(a)mankatonetworks.net http://www.mankatonetworks.com ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

I'm not sure if it is the best strategy (feel free to tell me what I've gotten wrong), but it has worked out well so far. We mainly do this to improve the service for our customers: 1) We want to be sure that our customers can get a minimum MTU of 1500 (and 9000 jumbo) for their connections. We see this now and then in customer technical requirements for ethernet circuits. By increasing our MTU, I don't have to worry about the various encapsulation methods that we might use internally for them (MPLS, 802.1q tunneling, etc) reducing their available MTU below the limit; 2) It allows our customers to do their own encapsulation (L2TPv3, MPLS) in addition to ours and still keep 1500/9000 for their payload; 3) In the past we have seen vendor/customer confusion where they believe that MTU and ethernet frame size are the same, by having a little "cush" factor, we don't have to worry about being the bad guy who clobbered their packets if there is terminology confusion; 4) If our customers use Path MTU Discovery they can take advantage of larger MTU sizes and get greater efficiency for their traffic; 5) Many of the Cisco switches require a reboot to change MTU settings. By setting them to their maximum during the initial install we don't have to worry about a service-affecting reboot later if we need to increase it; 6) It doesn't seem to break anything. :-) Steve ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Why would you change this? I am hoping I am mising some Internet sekret. For our VMware emphemeral networking we use 1528. Our network by default is 1500. And if I were using jumbo framing, I'd use 9000.
