IRR import and router update processes
by Miles McCredie June 4, 2025

June 4, 2025

Are the IRR import and router update processes running as expected? Asking because I'm seeing some announcements being IRRd filtered that I don't expect. Also, could you confirm which sources are being used? There are also some announcements with valid objects in NTTCOM that are being filtered.

Non-MICE/perhaps dumb question
by Frank Bulk May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

I've been reviewing some of AWS's connectivity products, but it seems like none of them are designed to improve the AWS experience for all of an ISP's customers across AWS's various regions. The background here is that we have a business customer using a key application hosted in AWS's East Coast region. The applications' document upload performance has been less than ideal, and their external consultant is blaming their ISP - us. As you know, once traffic leaves our network and hits upstream providers, our influence on the experience is very limited. My initial thought was to explore whether we could bring AWS closer to all of our customers through some kind of direct peering or other arrangement with AWS. However, from what I'm seeing, AWS's connectivity options are mostly targeted at connecting a single enterprise to AWS, not enhancing general public access to AWS services. Is that just the reality of it, or is there a broader product (other than direct peering with Amazon) that would improve AWS performance for all our customers?

Looks like our peering dropped and did not re-establish about 1:30p on the 19th with all our MICE peers. Did I miss a critical configuration change that we needed to adopt in our config as a result of the switch-port migrations that have recently concluded? I am also noticing BPDUs showing up on our interface where before the migration, there were none. Thanks in advance for helping point me in the right direction here! * Dan H.

MICE 400G Switch
by Richard Laager March 22, 2025

March 22, 2025

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.

Round 6 (Final) - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby March 19, 2025

March 19, 2025

On Wednesday March 19 at approximately 1PM central time I will perform the final steps of the MICE switch and cabinet migration project. Members that were moved to temporary switches/ports in the new cabinet during previous maintenance rounds will get moved onto the newly relocated original core switch. The full list of these port moves is below. BGP will be blocked for these members prior to moving them. The temporary switches are located directly above and below the original core switch so the link down period should be a matter of seconds per port. Participants not listed below should expect to see lower traffic levels, fewer prefixes from the route servers, and bilateral BGP sessions down to any network listed below during the maintenance.

I spoke to them at length about my experience with MICE's IRR/RPKI project, and some with my Wiktel hat too.

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.

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
