Nov. 1, 2017

The MICE UG 25 meeting will be held tomorrow September 27, 3:00 pm, at the 511 Building Cafeteria, 11th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN. The agenda and UG 24 minutes are attached. I have attached the Articles of Incorporation amendment that we discussed a bit last time. It will be up to the membership whether we vote on this at this meeting, or next time. I believe the remote conferencing will be the same as before: 952-562-5400 passcode MICE (6423). -- Richard

Graph Updates
by anthonyanderberg＠nu-telecom.net Oct. 30, 2017

Oct. 30, 2017

I've been watching the Aggregate Ingress/Egress graph values diverge with increasing discomfort and finally had a couple free hours to look into it yesterday and found the combination of the last round of CDN LAG upgrades and cruft left over from migrating from the old Juniper core was causing the Ingress values to skew high. In the end it was easier to just create a new Aggregate graph so I've done that and will remove the old graph once the web site is updated: http://micelg.usinternet.com/export/graph_1430.html I also took the time to dig into the IP4/6 Peer/Prefix graphs and think I've got them (mostly) fixed now too, they're under the "Route Server" menu item in Cacti. Thanks for everyone's suggestions on that topic. As always let me know if anything seems wrong or silly. Cheers, anthony Anthony Anderberg Sr. Systems Analyst [NUtel_email_logo_1] 320-234-5239 anthonyanderberg(a)nu-telecom.net<mailto:anthonyanderberg@nu-telecom.net> www.nutelecom.net<http://www.nutelecom.net>

Multi-IX Traffic Management?
by Matthew Beckwell Oct. 30, 2017

Oct. 30, 2017

For my own curiosity: I've seen quite a few networks in the last year or so connecting themselves to other out-of-market IX's (I presume getting some cheap wavelengths and bringing it back to Minnesota). A couple of questions for those of you that are doing this: 1. I'm assuming this is enabling you to accommodate requirements from other networks that require peering at multiple locations, even though technically your network doesn't really extend that far (or maybe it's something else?). 2. How are folks monitoring, managing, or manipulating this out-of-market traffic? (Using BGP MED, Prepending, Localpref, or some other mechanism to "prefer" your traffic enter and exit closer to where you really are?) I've seen some funny business with these kinds of network arrangements. Google DNS responses coming from SIX......CloudFlare cache response coming from Omaha IX. It seems like it's "the Chicago problem" (that MICE was founded to avoid) all over again-- except this time around we're doing it with private links all over the country instead of public transit? Just curious what people have found to be best practices with this type of arrangement. ~Matthew

by Michael Hemphill Oct. 6, 2017

Oct. 6, 2017

Hi all, Following up on our conversation at the last MICE UG meeting. We discussed various ways of promoting MICE and someone, I apologize I don't recall who, suggested that we work with the Blandin Foundation. I see that there are MICE member companies speaking. https://muninetworks.org/content/border-border-blandin-conference-oct-25-26 Will there be an opportunity to put in a good world for MICE & tout the growth & the big name members that are connected? Thanks all, just thinking. Mike Mike Hemphill ColoConnect 612-812-5242 mikeh(a)ColoConnect.net<mailto:mikeh@ColoConnect.net> http://www.coloconnect.net/
