Level3/Centurylink Interconnected in Twin Cities
by David Farmer Dec. 19, 2017

Dec. 19, 2017

This is not directly related to MICE, but I suspect it will be of interest to many of you, so I figured I would share it anyway; Within the last week or two it appears that as part of the Level3/CenturyLink merger they have interconnected their two IP networks here in the Twin Cities. That is AS209(Centurylink) and AS3356(Level3) appear to have interconnected a pair of routers here in the Twin Cities. However, the interconnection doesn't seem appear in the BGP routing tables we are receiving as a customer of Level3. From that perspective the closest interconnection appears to be in Chicago like it has always been. However, based on traceroutes there appears to be more specific routes being exchanged here in the Twin Cities that are not being announced to us as BGP customer of Level3. Further, the interconnection doesn't seem to include local Twin Cites BGP customer of Centurylink or any Centurylink outstate Minnesota customers at all, as those destinations seem to route through the Chicago still. So this primarily provides a shortcut from Level3 Twin Cities customers to Centurylink's Twin Cities broadband customers and vice vesra. This has reduced our latency to Twin Cities Centurylink broadband customers; for fiber customers from ~20ms to ~5ms or less, and DSL customers from ~40ms to ~25ms, most of remaining latency being from DSL interleaving. So, if you are a BGP customer of Level3 here in the Twin Cites at least, you may want to ensure that you are routing to Centurylink through Level3, to take advantage of this shortcut.

Didn't Akamai stop using the route servers? Therefore it wouldn't really matter.

Super Bowl Change Freeze
by Richard Laager Dec. 11, 2017

Dec. 11, 2017

As you have probably heard, the Super Bowl is being held in Minneapolis on February 4. We discussed at UG 26 that it would be a good idea to institute a change freeze for a few days to a week before. If you need to upgrade your port capacity or make other changes at MICE, please plan to have those *complete* by January 26th. If it were me, I wouldn't even cut it that close. -- Richard
