I'll be at the ARIN meeting next week, but maybe some other MICEers would
be interested in attending.

To: David Farmer <farmer(a)umn.edu>
Hi David,
Happy Friday! I wanted to send a quick note to invite you to our "Target
Network Engineering - Learning and Development" event on Monday, April 18
at the Target Plaza Commons.
This is a unique opportunity as we are trying to bring the network
engineering community together in the Twin Cities. So come to this free
event where we'll provide food, beverages (includes alcohol), and tons of
networking!
Join Principal Engineers from Target as they discuss an innovative approach
for the continuous development of Network Engineers within a company. The
evening will include an overview of Target’s Cisco Network Learning Group,
live sample demonstrations of technical tutorials, a question and answer
panel, and time to network with fellow Network Engineers.
You can sign up for the event here and feel free to share as well:

Network newcomers, veterans, and all those in between are welcome! Hope to

Montreal Internet Exchange Reaches Milestone On Path To New Peaks,
Reinforcing The Value Of Independent Internet Exchange Model
Cologix Inc. April 13, 2016 8:10 AM
QIX attracts 50 peering members who realize localized, optimized network
performance and reduced costs
DENVER and MONTREAL , April 13, 2016 /CNW/ -- Network, content and Internet
service providers continue to ramp up interest in the independent,
member-run Internet exchange model employed by the Montreal Internet
Exchange (www.qix.ca <http://www.qix.ca/> ) <http://www.qix.ca/> , a
nonprofit organization working to create a more robust, high-performing
Internet in the province of Quebec . QIX recently reached 50 peering
members, including some of the largest content providers and cloud service
providers in the world.
"It has been immensely gratifying to see QIX establish itself as a key
exchange point, with traffic peaking over 35 gigabits per second (Gbps),"
commented QIX Board of Directors Chair and Interconnection Relations at
Google Inc. Sylvie LaPerriere . "This progress underscores the value of QIX
as an important component of the Internet fabric serving Eastern Canada and
the growth of traffic localization at the Internet's edge. QIX members are
finding accelerated traffic flow, reduced IP transit costs and enhanced data
sovereignty through the peering arrangements facilitated by QIX. The strong
upticks in membership levels and aggregate traffic are a testament to the
significance of Montreal on the overall network map."
QIX launched in April 2013 with nodes at both 625 and 1250 Rene-Levesque
Boulevard West and support from the Quebec Scientific Information Network
(RISQ) and Cologix. QIX traffic is exchanged locally in Quebec , while
non-QIX Internet traffic that originates in Quebec is often routed to major
networking hubs like Chicago and New York City , then back to the enduser in
Quebec . This inefficient routing often diminishes network performance and
the user experience while increasing latency, costs and risk.
"The success of QIX has created a new institution for the benefit of the
Internet community in Montreal , which is a model for independent Internet
Exchanges in markets across North America ," commented Cologix Chief
Operating Officer Graham Williams . "Cologix is a proud supporter of QIX,
especially because of the value the exchange delivers to the local Montreal
economy and broader Canadian tech infrastructure."
