Broadcast Traffic
by Jeremy Lumby April 3, 2018

April 3, 2018

I have been watching the broadcast traffic on MICE steadily increase. We are now at the point where our broadcast traffic is 10X that of many exchanges that are larger than us. I would encourage the membership to look over the configuration of their peering routers to make sure that they are configured in a way that they are not generating excessive broadcast traffic. In the past on the list we have referenced the Amsterdam Internet Exchange configuration guidelines. I feel that the router specific configuration hints are a great starting point to be sure that your router is configured properly. https://ams-ix.net/technical/specifications-descriptions/config-guide Jeremy Lumby Minnesota VoIP 9217 17th Ave S Suite 216 Bloomington, MN 55425 Main: 612-355-7740 x211 Direct: 612-392-6814 EFax: 952-873-7425 jlumby(a)mnvoip.com

MICE UG 27 Meeting
by Richard Laager March 26, 2018

March 26, 2018

The MICE UG 27 meeting will be held Monday (not our typical Wednesday), March 26, 3:00 pm, at the 511 Building Cafeteria, 11th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN. While this meeting is timed to coincide with MTA, we are meeting at the 511 Building as usual, not at the MTA hotel location. The agenda and draft UG 26 minutes are attached. I believe the remote conferencing will be the same as before: 952-562-5400 passcode MICE (6423). -- Richard

Hey all, We provide the hosting for www.micemn.net and we need to move the site over to our new virtualization infrastructure, while we copied the most recent copy of the site over to the new server and IP space, was not sure who I need to: a) Update DNS to the new IP addresses: Public IPv4: 162.247.143.2 Public IPv6: 2605:f980:a100:8002::1 b) Who I need to provide ssh/sftp creds for the new server for updates to the site going forward?

Arista Support Contract
by Richard Laager Feb. 5, 2018

Feb. 5, 2018

MICE is responsible for the on-going support contract costs for the main Arista switch. This was factored into the design of the port fees. We have received quotes from Arista. As is customary, the three-year price is cheaper per year than the one-year price. The savings is non-trivial, especially relative to our annual revenue, so I think it would be wise to purchase the three-year contract. The three-year contract cost is more than our current cash balance. After we collect this year's port fees, we will be able to cover it while keeping a reasonable reserve. However, we need to do something sooner, as it needs to be renewed this month. Fortunately, Arista has offered to let us split the order in two halves to avoid us drawing the bank balance too close to zero. Does the membership have any input they'd like to provide the board in this matter? -- Richard

Yahoo IPv4 prefix count limits tripped this morning
by Frank Bulk Jan. 25, 2018

Jan. 25, 2018

Our IPv4 prefix count limits for two peering sessions with Yahoo (now Oath) tripped this morning around 3:04 and 3:11, respectively. They went from being under 163 to 219, at least a 30% increase. Just curious, are they doing some consolidation? The graph at bgp.he.net suggests that they've been at the 219 level for some months, so perhaps these are some prefixes that are only just now are showing up at MICE? Frank

Akamai bounce and graph

Is that opaque on purpose? I ask because when I click through it says "ACCESS DENIED" (in red =) ). Frank AS53347

On the other hand, if someone was planning on attending both MTA and UG 27, it seems like this would create a conflict. Another option would be to leave the meeting as is, and have someone else (who would skip the UG meeting) volunteer to sit at the table on Monday. A third option would be to reschedule the UG meeting to Wednesday, after MTA concludes. How do you feel about these options? Any other suggestions? -- Richard
