Re: RST Hurricane Congestion

by Ben Wiechman

We didn't have anything down in that area in our maintenance/outage list. Another carrier has been fighting a cut between Winona and Wabasha in a difficult location. Maybe HE has some services through them as well? It seems out of the way, but...

Re: RST Hurricane Congestion

It's not football killing us tonight! They finally responded after I called them twice and waited 1 hour, 51 mins for a ticket reply. They said several circuits are down to Rochester and they're trying to balance traffic on the remaining links. It's slowly getting better but we're still down 25% from our normal peak at this time of night. It's better than being down 50% of normal. This seems to be happening more frequently the last 2-3 years or there's more capacity sold, being used, in RST compared to years past when there's been fiber cuts. The slow performance is very noticeable. Less than 2 Mbps download and 10-20% packetloss anywhere outside of RST. Ben, are there any Arvig cuts between RST and Belle Plaine/MSP? I'm pretty sure they have some 100G paths from you guys.

RST Hurricane Congestion

by Darin Steffl

Anyone else connected to Hurricane's RST router noticing major congestion? It looks like the RST-BLP-MSP path is down and traffic is being diverted to CHI first or DVN-OMA. Any speedtests to ISP's like MiBroadband or KMTelecom that are connected to RST are fine but any tests outside of that like to US Internet or Carleton College, I'm seeing under 2 Mbps download speeds and 20% packet loss. I reported it to Hurricane at 7:39pm but it's been ongoing longer than that. I called 10 minutes after I emailed their NOC and the lady there wouldn't transfer me to an engineer and just said they'd reply to my ticket after they looked. I stressed the urgency since our traffic levels are only 50% of what they should be right now. -- Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com 507-634-WiFi Like us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/minnesotawifi>

Re: MICE UG41 and Fall Election

by AnthonyAnderberg＠nuvera.net

The nomination period for the MICE board of directors is now closed, the only nomination I've seen is Richard Laager - let me know if I've missed any others. Either way, the formal election will occur during the September 20th UG41 meeting, as noted below. Thanks everyone, anthony From: Anthony Anderberg <AnthonyAnderberg(a)nuvera.net> Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 4:18 PM To: MICE Discuss <MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET> Subject: MICE UG41 and Fall Election The MICE Users Group Meeting #41 will be held Tuesday September 20th at 3pm at the University of Minnesota’s video conference center in 2218 University Ave SE, Minneapolis. Parking and video/audio bridge details will be sent out beforehand. At this meeting we will be holding an election for a board seat - this year the seat held by Richard is up for election. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). Nominations can be posted to MICE-Discuss publicly or sent to me privately and will be accepted from now until September 1st, after the 1st I’ll publish the list of nominated candidates to give people time to choose and arrange proxy voters before the meeting if needed. For proxy voting you can either send your choice to me and during the meeting I’ll list who I’m voting on behalf of, or you may inform me that you are appointing another individual to vote on your behalf and those wishes will be honored during the election. The agenda and draft UG 40 minutes are here for everyone’s review: http://www.micemn.net/files/MICE%20UG%2040%20-%20Minutes.pdf Cheers, Anthony Anderberg MICE Secretary/Treasurer
