MICE Fees Proposal/UG Agenda Item/Request for Comment
by Jason Hanke Dec. 1, 2016

Dec. 1, 2016

All- Our main switch is nearing the end of its lifespan and the available port count is dwindling. At the current rate of burn we will be out of ports in early-2017. USI has arranged for Arista Networks to donate a 7504 switch with 32x100G and 96x10G ports with one year of support. In year 2, MICE would be responsible for the ongoing support costs about 14k per year. There would be one additional slot for future growth. I would like to make a formal request for comment and add the following item to the UG agenda. Here's what I'd propose: 1G ports= Free (Only 1 port per member, NO LAG allowed) Initial 10G port= $250 Annual Each additional 10G port $1000 Annual per port (up to 8 member LAG allowed) 100G port $3000 Annual per port Remote switch operators pay the fee for their main switch ports. Remote switch participants do not pay a main switch port fee. No grandfathering, all types of networks are treated the same. We will not disconnect for non-payment until port run out and contention occurs. A policy will need to be developed. New ports billed at time of allocation. Each carrier provides their own optic. Arista has agreed to remove the vendor lockout for optics. This will yield about $37k of annual revenue assuming everyone pays. We don't disconnect for non-payment but members in good standing would take priority over non-paying members. This would cover hardware support and Arin fees and accounting expense with the remainder going If we extended the full fees to all 10G ports this would generate $70k annually. Looking out, I don't think we will need to raise that much cash to keep operating as we are now. Ongoing Expense looks something like this: Arin: $300 Accounting: $1800 (includes postage for billing) Hardware support: $15000 This financial projection assumes we add no additional ports than what is currently allocated. I'm seeking input/amendment from the membership prior to the board taking action for the 2017 year. -- Jay Hanke CTO Neutral Path Communications 3 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 204 Mankato, MN 56001 (507) 327-2398 mobile jayhanke(a)neutralpath.net www.neutralpath.net

Google/YouTube Issues
by Derek Poehls Dec. 1, 2016

Dec. 1, 2016

Can anyone tell me if they are seeing issues with YouTube/Google today? We have bilateral peering with Google over MICE which is currently down, and customers that are unable to play videos. Also, I received a notification from Google's peering team saying that there are issues with the GGC in Minneapolis. The strange thing is that I'm writing this email, and not already reading a bunch of them that others have already sent... Perhaps it's because we have the bilateral peering set up and others don't? I have an email into them as well - just figured I'd see what others are seeing. Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [cid:image001.png@01D21D7D.C7577200] Derek Poehls NOC Supervisor/Senior Network Engineer (218) 284-5775

GigaPoP Remote Switch
by Richard Laager Nov. 30, 2016

Nov. 30, 2016

Should the GigaPoP be considered a "remote switch" for MICE? According to the participants list, WiscNet is connecting via the GigaPoP, but has their own IP. So it seems some layer 2 switching is happening there. -- Richard

We are VERY low on 10G ports on the main switch. There are several 10G ports that are down or exchanging very little traffic: Onvoy xe-0/0/5 Unggoy xe-2/0/2 (initial turn up) HBC xe-2/0/10 Fastly xe-0/2/0,xe2/0/5 (initial turn up) Amazon ae1 (initial turn up) -- Jay Hanke CTO Neutral Path Communications 3 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 204 Mankato, MN 56001 (507) 327-2398 mobile jayhanke(a)neutralpath.net www.neutralpath.net

MN VoIP Remote Switch Request
by Richard Laager Nov. 22, 2016

Nov. 22, 2016

The board has received a request for a new remote switch. In accordance with our procedures, I'm bringing this to the community for discussion. After this, the board will vote on the proposal. The switch would be operated by MN VoIP. It would be located in Cologix's suite 100 in the 511 Building. Jeremy Lumby wrote: > I would promise to notify any members connecting to the switch that > they are not on the main switch, upgrade my link to the main MICE > switch if the traffic goes above 66% and impose MAC, and BDPU limits > on all member facing ports connecting to the remote switch. To get > started I would upgrade to a 10G single port LAG The switch may not be dedicated to MICE. As such, the MICE technical committee may not have configuration access to the switch. SNMP access (for graphing individual ports) also may not be available, depending on build out. -- Richard
