www.micemn.net links

Hi, I was browsing the www.micemn.net site, and tripped over some 404s. On this page: http://micemn.net/resources.html The link to PeeringDB is broken, since peeringDB went to 2.0. The correct link is: https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/446 On this page: http://micemn.net/history.html The link to Cologix 511 is broken. It seems it should be: http://www.cologix.com/data-centers/minneapolis/min1/ Hope this message reaches the right people, Jonathan

Route Server BGP communities (& OS upgrades) - 5/22/2016
by Doug McIntyre May 23, 2016

May 23, 2016

Thanks to Chih Chen's help at the U of Wisc, I have testing done for phase1 of the BGP communities exporting that have been requested. (Phase2 would be doing prepends, but I'll have to lab up that functionality as I saw the export function grow 10 times or so before I stopped). Most of the delay was waiting for others to test with me. I plan on implementing this MICE site wide on Sunday, 5/22/2016, starting at around 10:00PM - 11:59PM. All the testing looked good to us during testing, the functions behaved as expected. This function is an expansion of what was tested before. ipHouse has had this export function on it since the end of winter. It is written to properly handle 32-bit ASNs (I believe, that part was provided by the BIRD WIKI author). And of course IPv4 and IPv6 make no difference. The communities supported by this setup will include 0:peerAS -- Don't export route prefix to this peer. 53679:peerAS -- Always export route prefix to this peer. 0:53679 -- Don't export route prefix to all MICE peers. The steps of actually implementing this would be non-eventful, but I know some will want to drop for it. ALSO, we really should upgrade the OS that is running the route servers too. So I'll be doing OS updates and other upgrades that will upgrade BIRD as well in the same window. BIRD moves from 1.4.5 -> 1.5.0. The release notes say it mostly is OSPF changes, I expect no problems in this update, BIRD has been very stable, and the OS has been stable in production use here. Thanks. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades

Technical Training Opportunity at TOC Conference in Fargo
by Shaun Carlson May 4, 2016

May 4, 2016

All, CCI/Cisco are hosting a technical training, designed to be more of a deep dive, at the TOC conference in Fargo next week. There is no cost for the training except for registration for the conference itself. Attached is the flyer CCI created for this opportunity and the link to register for the session is right in there. If you're headed up for the conference, consider attending or sending someone to the session. This is my first run at bringing some deeper technical training to the region and I'm hoping to see it well attended. Thanks! s *Shaun Carlson*Director of Information Technology | Arvig ph: (218) 346-8673 | em: shaun.carlson(a)arvig.com

Netflix addition/split
by Jason Hanke April 28, 2016

April 28, 2016

Netflix is converting their 7x10G to 2x4x10G and spreading the links over switch 0 and 2 of the main fabric. The new port assignments for the second LAG are: xe-2/0/21 (Netflix side Et3/19/2) xe-2/0/22 (Netflix side Et4/20/4) xe-2/0/23 (Netflix side Et4/21/3) xe-2/0/24 (TBD) Netflix will abandon 3 ports on the main switch as part of the transition: xe-0/2/0 xe-0/2/1 xe-0/2/3 We will move those optics to the new switch and Netflix will supply an additional optic for the forth port in the second LAG group. Thanks! -- Jay Hanke CTO Neutral Path Communications 3 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 204 Mankato, MN 56001 (507) 327-2398 mobile jayhanke(a)neutralpath.net www.neutralpath.net
