Google Ports to MICE
by Dave Schwartz Jan. 11, 2021

Jan. 11, 2021

Hello MICE Members I hope this message finds you well. We have heard from a number of MICE members about congestion on Google's port to MICE so I wanted to provide a brief update to our peers on what our plans are. We are aware of the congestion on our current 100G port to MICE and started planning for a 2nd 100G port back in Q3 of 2020. For those of you not aware, the Google router that is connected to MICE is located in Chicago and we use a third party vendor to reach the MICE switch. We have been experiencing long delays with our vendor for our 2nd 100G wave and currently plan to have the 2nd 100G up at MICE in early February. This 2nd 100G link will be on a diverse Google router with a separate IP and plan to peer with the route server on this new link. While our port is congested you may see traffic inbound to your network on indirect paths. While we attempt to deliver all traffic directly, we can't offer any guarantee on where traffic will come from during congestion. If you happen to experience quality problems with any Google service over MICE during this congestion please do report these product specific issues to noc(a)google.com so we can investigate. Our CDN is normally able to handle congestion so we would like to be aware if any members are experiencing any degradation of Google services. Many Thanks, Dave -- Dave Schwartz Customer Engineering Manager Network Specialist Team Google Cloud Platform daveschwartz(a)google.com +1-424-625-9129

config assistance?
by James Urwiller Dec. 30, 2020

Dec. 30, 2020

Greetings all, Last night I cutover to a new Arista for BGP services facing MICE and a few other peers. All my other peers are up and functioning properly, but I cannot reach any of the MICE peers. Since I am connected to the Zayo remote switch in Belle Plaine, I had Zayo bounce my port thinking it was a mac-limit issue. Even before they did this, I can see MICE peers in ARP and in the MAC-Table, but I cant ping any of them, like the traffic is filtered in one direction. Zayo’s port bouncing had no effect. Any ideas Arista/MICE guru’s? James Urwiller Network Architect Stealth Broadband james.urwiller(a)stealthbroadband.com

Premier is no longer a part of MICE. Can the PTR for 206.108.255.67 be updated so that it doesn't list AS53347.micemn.net? Thanks, Frank
