I agree with Shaun that we should make this part of the next meeting. I think with the new 4500 switch(s) and also the member fee we should look at the future of "remote" switches also.

Re: Juniper Upgrade

This seems fair to me, but we are obviously getting that kind of value from the exchange also. Could we offer a discount on a second 10gig if its used for redundancy? Maybe that's to messy on not worth it either.

Re: Juniper Upgrade

by Mike O'Connor

on of the tricky things to coming up with a fee is the "what to include in the cost?" question. right now, MICE is making Stone Soup out of the time, energy, thought, leadership, connections, rack space and hardware of it's members. i bet that if one were to put a value on all of those things, we'd find that allocating that number across ports/bandwidth would result in a hefty number. one question -- is MICE ever likely to get to a point where it needs new/current gear? or can it live on cast-offs for a good long time yet? if cast offs will work, then i'd lobby for continuing that tradition so that the cooperative can continue as a zero-cost affair for as long as possible. of course, guilt-tripping the orgs that don't pull their weight (pleas for cast-off gear, more help, more participation, etc.) would remain on the table. :-) mikey PS, here's the wikipedia version of Stone Soup for those of you who haven't heard the tale before. Some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all. - - - - - - - - - phone 651-647-6109 fax 866-280-2356 web http://www.haven2.com handle OConnorStP (ID for public places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.) ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

For MICE to be viable as an exchange long term, connections to MICE need to cover upgrades like this as well as maintenance, etc. It's great that people are willing to donate hardware/money, but, I would like to see MICE develop a longer-term view of its own financial support where all members pay a fair share and we should be building up a reserve that can initially purchase any needed hardware that MICE doesn't own and later can provide for unforseen events.

Also, you could have 2 EX4200s + 2 EX 4500s in a single stack as well. Or 8 EX4200s but I don't think we need that many 1Gbps ports. > We already have a pledge of $3000 for the upgrade from an existing > MICE member.

Juniper Upgrade

by Jay Hanke

As you may be aware, a waiting list is starting to form for 10G ports on the main switch. The Juniper switches in the core are on long term demo and will need to be returned to the pool at some point. In addition, there are members that are looking for 10G LAG connections to the main switch. I talked to Juniper and they will allow us to swap our existing stack of EX4200's for a steeply discounted EX4500. http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/switching/ex-series/ex4500/ The new switch would give us 40 1G/10G ports and the ability to add additional shelves in the future with 128 Gb/s VC uplinks. If there was sufficient interest and support I believe we could deploy a set out of the gate to provide redundancy. The plan would be to move anyone with a FastEthernet connection to one of the remote switches. After the trade in, the cost to MICE would be $4485 + $1158 (Next Day Support) + any sales taxes (if any). MICE would own the switch. None of the current switches are owned by MICE and their use is at the whim of their respective owners. This would prevent any of the members from taking their ball and going home. We already have a pledge of $3000 for the upgrade from an existing MICE member.

Re: HE funniness?

by Justin Krejci

Same here... drop in inbound traffic that starting just before 12PM and seemed to return to normal about 12:15PM Not sure if it would have had anything to do with this but we had a support ticket in with them this morning relating some to some very inefficient routing paths for a particular international destination that was adding an additional 50-60ms to the RTT. Having just checked on that routing path about 5-10 minutes before this email I noticed the route path had been adjusted and is now giving about the same RTT latency as our other providers to the destination now. Can't help but wonder if someone made a change relating to our support request but made some small mistake.
