https://www.seattleix.net/blackholing Does MICE have an blackholng functionality equivalent to SIX? I was visiting with a DDoS mitigation vendor this morning and was curious if there was a way we could automatically mitigate DoS attack traffic coming from a MICE peer. Regards, Frank

MN VoIP Remote Upgrade
by Jeremy Lumby Oct. 11, 2019

Oct. 11, 2019

In accordance with the MICE remote switch operator guidelines, MN VoIP will be upgrading their remote switch and uplink to the MICE core on the afternoon of October 11th at approx 2PM to keep uplink utilization under 66% of the link capacity. Prior to the maintenance, BGP will be blocked so traffic can gracefully reroute. During the maintenance connectivity will be down for approximately 15 minutes. A 100G switch will be added between the existing MN VoIP extension and the MICE core. This switch will not only increase the MN VoIP uplink from 40G to 100G, it will also make 32 100G ports available to anyone wishing to connect to MICE via MN VoIP @ 100G. I will send out a notification to the discuss list right before I commence with the maintenance.

latest Zayo update Wed 9/25/2019 4:16 PM Current update Crews have located the damage and are waiting on 811 to perform emergency locates, Estimating 60 minutes. Once the locates are done crews will be digging up 100 ft on each side of of the fiber. The reason for the extra digging is the cable is near a high pressure gas main and crews must be extra careful. ETR is 6 hours. We apologize for any inconveniences and delays along the way and will continue to work towards resolution and provide updates as they are available.
