Round 5 - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

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

UG 46 Meeting & Election
by Richard Laager 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

The MICE UG 46 meeting will be held Wednesday, October 9, 3:00 pm at UMN and via Zoom. Parking, etc. details same as before: https://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?A2=MICE-DISCUSS;2c503e19.2209 * * *Zoom Details* https://umn.zoom.us/j/97601658469?pwd=C6JWkmoYfB9WjZsnRPr9S5u1l4Zkuz.1 ID: 94910223662, passcode: Jp74Et 651-372-8299, meeting ID 97601658469, passcode 864193 * * *Nominations* We will be holding an election for a board seat. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). This year, Reid's seat is up for election. As in the past, we will close nominations in advance of the meeting so people have a chance to instruct a proxy appropriately. *Nominations will be open for two weeks, September 23 - October 6. *I plan to send reminder emails approximately at the start of and just after the nomination period. In the event that the election is uncontested, our practice is to elect by acclimation at the meeting. Proxies are unnecessary in that situation, assuming that the meeting makes quorum. *Proxies * The bylaws state that you send proxies to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient: rlaager(a)wiktel.com or chiefmanager(a)micemn.net. If you send me a /vote/ by email (e.g. "We vote for <X>."), I will treat it as an a proxy appointment, appointing me to vote on your behalf, but restricted to /only/ the election item and to /only/ vote for the candidate you expressed. If you send me a proxy with different instructions (e.g. "We appoint <Y> to vote for us."), obviously that will be honored as written. -- Richard

Round 2 - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

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.

Route server feed for bgp.tools
by Jonah Aragon 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

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 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

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 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

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

MICE 400G Switch
by Richard Laager 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

The 400G switch has arrived. Jeremy racked the switch. It's a big one! We don't have a firm go-live date at this point, but it will be soon. If you are interested in 400G ports, the Order Form has been updated: https://micemn.net/files/MICE%20Order%20Form.docx (I've just sent this to mice-discuss so far. I'm thinking we'll send something to mice-announce once the switch is live. But if people think I should be sending it there now, I'm open to the suggestion.) -- Richard Laager Chief Manager, Director Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange LLC

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.

[MICE-DISCUSS] ipHouse MICE Disconnect
by Jay Hanke 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

ipHouse is disconnecting from MICE. ipHouse is an OG member of MICE and has been a huge supporter over the years contributing to just about every aspect of the IX. They have contributed everything from donating equipment, transit, mailing list services and TONS of manual Bird config over the years. In particular, Doug McIntyre has contributed a huge amount of effort when MICE was just a pinkie. It would have been much more difficult without his help. Thanks! Jay

Based on traffic patterns it looks like a big game franchise started an upgrade cycle last night at 3am. Looks like both Call of Duty and Fortnite have been planning upgrades but I can’t find anything definitive. I really only play Kerbal Space Program and am not up to date on FPS games, can anyone confirm?
