There was quite a bit of talk regarding port fees at NANOG earlier this week. There was also seemingly universal accolades going to the SiX in Seattle.

Airstream Additional 10G port
by Jason Hanke 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Airstream would like to add an additional 10G port. I have allocated port xe-2/0/20 on the main switch. This port will need to be in a LAG group with their existing port xe-0/0/20. Charles Monson is the primary contact within WIN. All IP addressing will remain the same. Could the Tech Committee reach out to coordinate.

27 May '16

Hi, I was browsing the www.micemn.net site, and tripped over some 404s. On this page: http://micemn.net/resources.html The link to PeeringDB is broken, since peeringDB went to 2.0. The correct link is: https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/446 On this page: http://micemn.net/history.html The link to Cologix 511 is broken. It seems it should be: http://www.cologix.com/data-centers/minneapolis/min1/ Hope this message reaches the right people, Jonathan

Route Server BGP communities (& OS upgrades) - 5/22/2016
by Doug McIntyre 23 May '16

23 May '16

Thanks to Chih Chen's help at the U of Wisc, I have testing done for phase1 of the BGP communities exporting that have been requested. (Phase2 would be doing prepends, but I'll have to lab up that functionality as I saw the export function grow 10 times or so before I stopped). Most of the delay was waiting for others to test with me. I plan on implementing this MICE site wide on Sunday, 5/22/2016, starting at around 10:00PM - 11:59PM. All the testing looked good to us during testing, the functions behaved as expected. This function is an expansion of what was tested before. ipHouse has had this export function on it since the end of winter. It is written to properly handle 32-bit ASNs (I believe, that part was provided by the BIRD WIKI author). And of course IPv4 and IPv6 make no difference. The communities supported by this setup will include 0:peerAS -- Don't export route prefix to this peer. 53679:peerAS -- Always export route prefix to this peer. 0:53679 -- Don't export route prefix to all MICE peers. The steps of actually implementing this would be non-eventful, but I know some will want to drop for it. ALSO, we really should upgrade the OS that is running the route servers too. So I'll be doing OS updates and other upgrades that will upgrade BIRD as well in the same window. BIRD moves from 1.4.5 -> 1.5.0. The release notes say it mostly is OSPF changes, I expect no problems in this update, BIRD has been very stable, and the OS has been stable in production use here. Thanks. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades

All, CCI/Cisco are hosting a technical training, designed to be more of a deep dive, at the TOC conference in Fargo next week. There is no cost for the training except for registration for the conference itself. Attached is the flyer CCI created for this opportunity and the link to register for the session is right in there. If you're headed up for the conference, consider attending or sending someone to the session. This is my first run at bringing some deeper technical training to the region and I'm hoping to see it well attended.

Montreal Internet Exchange Reaches Milestone
by Mike Hemphill 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

All, Thought you would find this interesting relative to where MICE is at. I see that the peak last week was north of 72Gig and I count over 65 members. You are doing great things! Congrats!!! Mike Montreal Internet Exchange Reaches Milestone On Path To New Peaks, Reinforcing The Value Of Independent Internet Exchange Model Cologix Inc. April 13, 2016 8:10 AM QIX attracts 50 peering members who realize localized, optimized network performance and reduced costs DENVER and MONTREAL , April 13, 2016 /CNW/ -- Network, content and Internet service providers continue to ramp up interest in the independent, member-run Internet exchange model employed by the Montreal Internet Exchange (www.qix.ca <http://www.qix.ca/> ) <http://www.qix.ca/> , a nonprofit organization working to create a more robust, high-performing Internet in the province of Quebec . QIX recently reached 50 peering members, including some of the largest content providers and cloud service providers in the world. "It has been immensely gratifying to see QIX establish itself as a key exchange point, with traffic peaking over 35 gigabits per second (Gbps)," commented QIX Board of Directors Chair and Interconnection Relations at Google Inc. Sylvie LaPerriere . "This progress underscores the value of QIX as an important component of the Internet fabric serving Eastern Canada and the growth of traffic localization at the Internet's edge. QIX members are finding accelerated traffic flow, reduced IP transit costs and enhanced data sovereignty through the peering arrangements facilitated by QIX. The strong upticks in membership levels and aggregate traffic are a testament to the significance of Montreal on the overall network map." QIX launched in April 2013 with nodes at both 625 and 1250 Rene-Levesque Boulevard West and support from the Quebec Scientific Information Network (RISQ) and Cologix. QIX traffic is exchanged locally in Quebec , while non-QIX Internet traffic that originates in Quebec is often routed to major networking hubs like Chicago and New York City , then back to the enduser in Quebec . This inefficient routing often diminishes network performance and the user experience while increasing latency, costs and risk. "The success of QIX has created a new institution for the benefit of the Internet community in Montreal , which is a model for independent Internet Exchanges in markets across North America ," commented Cologix Chief Operating Officer Graham Williams . "Cologix is a proud supporter of QIX, especially because of the value the exchange delivers to the local Montreal economy and broader Canadian tech infrastructure." About Cologix Inc. Cologix provides reliable, secure, scalable data center and interconnection solutions from 24 prime interconnection locations across 9 strategic North American edge markets. Over 1,600 leading network, managed services, cloud, media, content, financial services and enterprise customers trust Cologix to support their business critical infrastructure and connect them to customers, vendors and partners.
