Re: MICE Congestion Issues

by Anthony Anderberg

At the peak traffic levels (~9.75G) the main MICE switch was showing egress queue drops so that link is definitely constraining full use of the exchange. Moving the GigaPoP and Hurricane's links to the main switch seems like the cleanest technical solution now that we've got plenty of 10G interfaces on the main switch. I see the link from the Akamai cluster was above 9.5G too. It's possible that could be the next bottleneck for full utilization of the exchange (and of Akamai's cluster). We certainly know that there will be more iOS upgrades in the future.
