Google Ports to MICE
by Dave Schwartz Jan. 11, 2021

Jan. 11, 2021

Hello MICE Members I hope this message finds you well. We have heard from a number of MICE members about congestion on Google's port to MICE so I wanted to provide a brief update to our peers on what our plans are. We are aware of the congestion on our current 100G port to MICE and started planning for a 2nd 100G port back in Q3 of 2020. For those of you not aware, the Google router that is connected to MICE is located in Chicago and we use a third party vendor to reach the MICE switch. We have been experiencing long delays with our vendor for our 2nd 100G wave and currently plan to have the 2nd 100G up at MICE in early February. This 2nd 100G link will be on a diverse Google router with a separate IP and plan to peer with the route server on this new link. While our port is congested you may see traffic inbound to your network on indirect paths. While we attempt to deliver all traffic directly, we can't offer any guarantee on where traffic will come from during congestion. If you happen to experience quality problems with any Google service over MICE during this congestion please do report these product specific issues to noc(a)google.com so we can investigate. Our CDN is normally able to handle congestion so we would like to be aware if any members are experiencing any degradation of Google services. Many Thanks, Dave -- Dave Schwartz Customer Engineering Manager Network Specialist Team Google Cloud Platform daveschwartz(a)google.com +1-424-625-9129

config assistance?
by James Urwiller Dec. 30, 2020

Dec. 30, 2020

Greetings all, Last night I cutover to a new Arista for BGP services facing MICE and a few other peers. All my other peers are up and functioning properly, but I cannot reach any of the MICE peers. Since I am connected to the Zayo remote switch in Belle Plaine, I had Zayo bounce my port thinking it was a mac-limit issue. Even before they did this, I can see MICE peers in ARP and in the MAC-Table, but I cant ping any of them, like the traffic is filtered in one direction. Zayo’s port bouncing had no effect. Any ideas Arista/MICE guru’s? James Urwiller Network Architect Stealth Broadband james.urwiller(a)stealthbroadband.com

PeeringDB Audit Emails
by Jay Hanke Nov. 18, 2020

Nov. 18, 2020

I've gotten several emails from MICE members about IX-F export issues on PeeringDB. MICE provides a list of port/peering information to PeeringDB in JSON format and they started auditing against what users have entered into the site. The export is generated from our IXP Manager platform we deployed a couple months ago. The most common mismatch is the user not having the IPv6 address loaded in PeeringDB. MICE allocates an IPv6 address with every IPv4 allocation. [insert ipv6 pitch here] Members on the Zayo Remote switch in Belle Plaine are currently not currently included in the export. There is an issue with loading the ports into IXP manager and we need an admin at Zayo to make a couple of routing/snmp changes. All of the other switches were completed and loaded several months ago. If someone has a good contact at Zayo for this please let me know. -- Jay Hanke, President South Front Networks jayhanke(a)southfront.io Phone 612-204-0000

IPv6 BGP Peering to Netflix bouncing 60+ days

All: We have been tracking our IPv6 peering via our MICE path to Netflix and noticed it bouncing consistently since at least September (probably longer). All other peerings on this path (both v4 and v6) have been stable and are not experiencing these drops. Is anyone else in the group experiencing similar drops to their IPv6 only peerings w/Netflix? The peer that we see this occurring w/is: 2001:504:27::b5a:0:1 Thanks so much ahead of time, Jesse

MICE port down
by Todd Mueller Sept. 21, 2020

Sept. 21, 2020

Could someone please check the MICE port for Velocity Telephone, I saw it go down about 15 minutes ago. I suspect it shut down because there was more than 1 MAC address coming in. I noticed the MAC address for a layer 2 interface from one of our switches showing up in the corresponding VLAN momentarily for some reason, but it is gone now. Thanks! Todd

In past years, major iOS releases have caused a significant increase in traffic, and since Apple is now peering at MICE, I expect a significant bump in traffic on MICE as well this afternoon.
