We've reached the first milestone in the MICE renumbering project.
By now, all peering email contacts have recieved notice of the new IP
addresses, and a timeline and request to have the new IP address setup
as a secondary on their MICE facing interface by today, 10/1/2012.
The timeline also stated that members can now start to schedule their
maintenance windows to shift around their BGP announcements so they
can announce their prefixes with a next-hop IP in the new IP range.
Unfortunately, doing spot checks only about 22% of members seem to
have done the secondary IPv4 setup yet based on ping results.
If you have not yet put your new IP addresses on a secondary IP
on your interface, please do this as-soon-as-possible.
If you do not, and another member does shift their prefix announcement,
your network will have reachability issues to the other member, trying
to get to an IP address your router doesn't know how to reach.
Again, here is the cutover schedule that was emailed out:
Addition of Address Secondary: before 10/1/2012
New Prefix Announcements: after 10/1/2012
Final use of old IP address next-hop: before 11/30/2012
Removal of old IP address range: after 12/1/2012
Project End: 12/31/2012
