RPKI deployment survey
by Richard Laager March 17, 2025

March 17, 2025

Two professors, one from Tufts and one from Georgia Tech, are doing a survey of RPKI deployments. They are "working on a research project looking at barriers to RPKI adoption and the experience of different stakeholders involved in RPKI to inform strategies to help promote further adoption." I spoke to them at length about my experience with MICE's IRR/RPKI project, and some with my Wiktel hat too. If any of you are interested in speaking with them, please contact: Josephine Wolff <Josephine.Wolff(a)tufts.edu> Cecilia Testart <ctestart(a)gatech.edu> -- Richard

Round 5 - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby March 6, 2025

March 6, 2025

On Wednesday March 5th at approximately 1PM CST I will be moving the Arista 7504R (100Gig core switch) into the new cabinet, along with some remaining 10G connections on the switch, and all other equipment in cabinet 937. Prior to the migration BGP will be blocked on the specific participant's port to allow traffic to gracefully reroute. This is the fifth round of weekly moves and should complete migrating everything out of the existing cabinet. During this maintenance software on the 7504R switch, as well as route server 1 will be updated. There will be one final maintenance on the afternoon of Wednesday March 19 to move connections off of temp switches in the new cabinet. If you are interested in upgrading to 400Gig let us know ASAP so we can avoid double moves, and facilitate an easier transition for everyone. The full details of the move are: Virtual Host 1 (includes MICE Webserver, DNS server, IXP Manager, Route Server 1) Management Firewall Arista 7504R: Essentia - 3789 Old Ports: Et4/34 Et4/40 New Ports: E 4/42 E 4/41 30110 - Range Old Port: Et4/42 New Port: E 4/45 Management to Remote Switches Old Port: Et4/43 New Port: E 4/48 Yahoo 10310 Old Ports: Et4/44 Et4/48 New Ports: E 4/43 E 4/44 Virtual Host 1 Old Port: Et4/45 New Port: E 4/47 Xiber LLC 393950 Old Port: Et4/46 New Port: E 4/46 Jeremy Lumby Minnesota VoIP 9217 17th Ave S #216 Bloomington MN 55425 Main 612-355-7740 x211 Direct 612-392-6814 Fax 952-873-7425 jlumby(a)mnvoip.com

Round 2 - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby Feb. 26, 2025

Feb. 26, 2025

On Wednesday February 12th at approximately 1PM CST I will be migrating the following networks off of the Arista 7504R (100Gig core switch) to a temporary switch in the new cabinet/space that the 100G chassis will eventually be moved to at 511. Prior to the migration BGP will be blocked on the specific participant's port to allow traffic to gracefully reroute. This is the second round of weekly moves as everything is migrated out of the existing cabinet. If you are interested in upgrading to 400Gig let us know ASAP so we can avoid double moves, and facilitate an easier transition for everyone.

Route server feed for bgp.tools
by Jonah Aragon Feb. 19, 2025

Feb. 19, 2025

Hello, I was wondering if MICE has considered delivering a live feed to bgp.tools's route collector. I find this service to be extremely useful, especially when it has access to live data from the networks I'm looking at, so it would be a great benefit to me and probably anyone else looking into MICE with this website. The listing for MICE indicates that the route server operators could contact them to set this up: https://bgp.tools/ixp/MICE Best, Jonah Triplebit – AS 401332

1G Disconnections
by Richard Laager Jan. 23, 2025

Jan. 23, 2025

The following participants were disconnected yesterday, as they were still on 1G and the 1G switch is going away as part of the cabinet move and 400G switch upgrade. Coloplast [AS25111] Evolve IP (fka Advanced Integrated Tech / AI Tech) [AS13746] ipHouse [AS7753] ipHouse was going away in any event, due to acquisition activity as previously discussed. The other two did confirm they were aware of the disconnect. They elected not to connect at 10G or move to a remote. -- Richard Laager Chief Manager, Director Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange LLC

2025-01-20 MICE Maintenance - Route Server 2
by Richard Laager Jan. 23, 2025

Jan. 23, 2025

MICE physical server 2 (and thus by extension route server 2) is again having errors on its peering interface. We will be performing maintenance tomorrow to address this. Since this only affects one of the two route servers, participants should not be impacted. Details: Sometime tomorrow (exact time depending on day job schedules), Jeremy and I will: 1. Apply the usual security updates to VMs and the host, since the host is going to be rebooted anyway. 2. Convert server 2's port to a LAG. This will make future changes easier, especially if this error problem continues. This will involve a reboot of the server. The reboot is "necessary" because Linux's netplan does not remove VLAN configuration when changes are made (only adds it). Without removing the old direct-on-the-physical-interface VLAN config, we could (would?) create a loop. You may recall that I created a loop that blew up the exchange in more-or-less that exact way when setting up the servers originally. While I could remove the VLAN configuration manually, in this case, it's easier and safer to simply reboot. That also ensures our running configuration is fully consistent with the configuration files. 3. Replace the optic, also moving to the other port on the NIC. The underlying failure manifests as a decrease in optical transmit power (i.e. power received at the switch) over time. We have replaced the optic previously, which fixes it, but then it fails again after a while. We are open to suggestions about why this might be occurring. One theory is that this is due to heat. We are going to try the second port in case that makes a difference. We are also considering switching to a direct attach cable, as perhaps that would produce less heat. -- Richard Laager Chief Manager, Director Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange LLC

RE: [MICE-DISCUSS] MICE Server Updates
by nanog＠jima.us Dec. 18, 2024

Dec. 18, 2024

Cameron (or others), A cohort reached out to ask me... Does anyone know when the IPv6 address for micemn.net stopped responding? I foolishly didn't check after the migration; I see the v6 address is announced by the same ASN as the (working) v4 address, but attempts to trace die off after the penultimate hop (versus the v4 path). Happy Eyeballs would generally keep the site loading in browsers, assuming one has native IPv4/464XLAT, but it seems like a non-ideal state of affairs.
