Fiber cut?
by Frank Bulk 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Did anyone notice a fiber cut on Zayo's network between Le Mars and Sioux City around 2:45 pm? Our staff saw some damage south to their fiber of NIPCO, but it's possible that Zayo abandoned that stretch of fiber due to an earlier Hwy 75 road project. Regards, Frank

Re: FW: [EXTERNAL] - [MICE-DISCUSS] MICE Participants List
by Richard Laager 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

It turns out that I had the route server links wrong. There is a database ID that gets put into the BIRD protocol. I thought it was the customer (participant) ID. But it turns out it is the VLAN Interface ID. I corrected this, and now the links work correctly.

MICE Participants List
by Richard Laager 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

The MICE participants list is now built from IXP Manager: https://micemn.net/participants.html If there is something wrong about your entry, please let me or Jeremy know. See below about port discrepancies, first. I want to specifically thank Dustin Frandle of South Front Networks. He started this effort with JavaScript code to convert a standard IX-F JSON export into a participants table. While I ended up going a different direction (for reasons discussed below), he got the ball rolling. Jeremy and I wanted to retain the contact addresses, which IXP Manager only outputs in the IX-F export if you are logged in. (And, despite my request, they remain firm in that position and refuse to allow customization.) Additionally, I wanted to retain the ports, since our current process has Cologix using the website as the LOA/CFA. (We may want to move to a more standard approach on that, but I didn't want to put that change into the critical path of getting the participants list automated.) Unfortunately, despite a previous request and my re-request for it, the IXP Manager maintainer has taken a firm position that the IX-F JSON export should not be customizable. So I cannot easily tweak the template to output emails when unauthenticated or add additional information for ports. IXP Manager does support the idea of a custom member export, and INEX (the exchange primarily behind IXP Manager development) does use that for a custom JSON output. However, that requires building the desired output from scratch. I figured if I was going to do that, I might as well just output HTML directly. That way, I only have one thing in one language (PHP) to worry about, rather than two things (PHP + JavaScript). Granted, there are some cons too. I'm not 100% happy about any of this. But, ultimately I had to make some decision to get it done, and that's where I landed. I did the best I could with the responsive design. There are a couple of pre-existing bugs on edge cases (e.g. when your size falls at 991.xx so it's not <= 991 but also not >= 992, which is maybe only possible on HiDPI displays) that affect the whole site. This page in particular is not ideal on mobile, but I did what I could. If you've got better ideas, please let me know. ---- There are a couple port discrepancies that I've asked Jeremy to review: 702 Communications * Bluepeak Broadband Visions * G-Core Labs * HBC * LTD Broadband Omnitel * Paul Bunyan South Front Truestream * US Internet * I'm pretty sure these were wrong/outdated on the old list and correct in IXP Manager / on the new list. -- Richard

Route Server 1 - BFD not working
by Jonathan Stewart 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

Hi MICE, We are AS18451. On our BGP session to Route Server 1 (206.108.225.1 & 2001:504:27::d1af:0:1) i have lost the BFD session. My Juniper router shows the state as "Down". Is this intentional? An accident of the upgrades? Is my configuration wrong? Anyone else noticing this? My configuration is an interval of 1000 ms, multiplier 3. RS 2 is configured the same and BFD is up. Thanks, Jonathan -- Jonathan Stewart Network Engineer LES.NET - AS18451 Desk: 1-204-666-6191 Mobile: 1-204-990-2120 130 Portage Avenue E Winnipeg, MB R3C 0A1 CANADA

Re: FW: Thursday Night Football from Amazon Prime Video - Network Questionnaire

I stumbled across this thread again while looking for something else and thought I'd add a small update that we did get our Qwilt server deployed on-net for us a while back and it did indeed serve a relatively large burst of traffic volume during the live streaming episodes of Thursday Night Football. ________________________________ From: MICE Discuss <MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET> on behalf of Justin Krejci <JKrejci(a)USINTERNET.COM> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 1:08 PM To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] FW: Thursday Night Football from Amazon Prime Video - Network Questionnaire I believe it is just simpler for everyone involved when you are an NCTC member but I don't think it is a requirement necessarily.

RPKI ROAs
by Richard Laager 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

In the ARIN web UI, it looks like a ROA can have multiple prefixes. For an end network such as myself (Wiktel hat on), what is the best practice... one ROA per prefix, or list multiple prefixes in the same ROA? With my MICE hat on, should MICE publish a ROA for the peering network space? The theoretical advantage would be some amount of hijacking protection. Though since it's not supposed to be announced, it probably doesn't matter much either way? As far as I can see, there's no explicit way to say "do not announce" in a ROA. But listing something with an origin AS of "0" seems to be a thing that is done for at least one deliberately invalid ROA (CloudFlare's 103.21.244.0/23). So, if I were to create a ROA for MICE, would that be an Origin AS of 53679 or 0? -- Richard
