Statistics reporting for MICE?
by Hannigan, Martin 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

FYI, http://micelg.usinternet.com/export/graph_385.html shows in+out where http://micelg.usinternet.com/export/graph_384.html shows in/out. Which one should we use? I'd like to suggest that MICE follow OIX-1 with respect to agg and other stats: "The IXP MUST publish on a publicly available website the total sum of all incoming and outgoing traffic in bps from all connected networks on the public peering VLAN. The traffic sum MUST include the traffic on customer facing ports only and MUST be made up of 5 min average traffic measurements. A distinction MUST be made between the traffic on the public peering VLAN and any other interconnection service." Traffic "massiveness" isn't as important as how many ASNs are connected. Traffic is an unpredictable and unreliable indicator of an exchanges size and value. ASN counts are much more granular for potential peers to build a case to join. Best, -M<

Re: Googling on IPv6 and HE to 20G

Greetings Just wanted to bump this discussion. I just had a conversation with a VP with DataBank, a data center service provider here in the Twin Cities metro, about MICE and the current state of the exchange. During that conversation, I had mentioned that the exchange is looking to grow into a secondary site and that the exchange was in the very preliminary stages of discussing a new site. As a result of this conversation, they expressed a lot of interest in donating space, power, and cross-connect services out of their brand new facility in Eagan for a secondary leaf site for MICE. They said they could possibly assist in locating some dark fiber between the two sites as well if the exchange decided to go with DataBank for their secondary site. This Eagan site has close proximity to the AccessEagan network as well as a number of providers that may be interested in participating in the exchange. Below is a link showing where this facility is located: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3255+Neil+Armstrong+Blvd,+Eagan,+MN+55121… I emphasized that the exchange is in the very early stages of discussion about a secondary site. I also mentioned that the exchange is hosting an user group here on January 14th. DataBank would be very interested in dialing into the conference bridge to talk about what they have to offer. If this is something that the exchange would like to pursue, please let me know and I can forward along the user group conference bridge information to the proper DataBank personnel. DataBank also mentioned that they would be able to provide a tour of the new facility during the early part of the third week of January if there’s any interest in checking out the new facility. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Jake

Googling on IPv6 and HE to 20G
by Anthony Anderberg 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Yesterday Google turned up their IPv6 advertisements, and the rush of additional traffic required HE to add a second 10G port on the exchange - they now have Xe-0/0/3 and Xe-0/0/13 as LAG bundle Ae6. Thanks to Jeremy for coordinating everything. By my count we've got four free 10G ports on the main switch, plus a couple allocated that haven't turned up.

Happy Holidays
by David Farmer 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Happy Holidays to everyone. Because of the Holidays and the Winter Break in the Academic Calendar the GigaPOP's traffic will be down markedly for the next Month or so. Traffic levels will recover slowly after the first of the year once the Holidays are over and various GigaPOP Participants (AKA Customers) start to return to classes. However, traffic levels will not fully return to normal until after MLK Day when the University of Minnesota and several other participants begin their Spring Semesters. Joy and Peace to you and your families in 2015. -- ================================================ David Farmer Email: farmer(a)umn.edu Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 1-612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 1-612-812-9952 ================================================
