Thanks for the info Anthony. Do you know if Juniper has a PR # (or a case #) for the bug you describe? I'd like to get some more info on it. On Jan 30, 2015 8:55 PM, Anthony Anderberg <anthonyanderberg(a)NU-TELECOM.NET> wrote: I was on the road this afternoon and unable to safely contribute or comment, but it looks like everyone came together and correctly diagnosed and resolved the issues. I thought I'd follow up to a few questions/comments to make sure all is clear. > clear ethernet-switching table From the logs, comments, and graphs I'm sure we ran into that software bug again, regardless of any original leaf-node issues. The switch gets into a state where MAC addresses are not all correctly added to the L2 forwarding database so some destinations are treated as broadcasts. After issuing the command above the switch recovers from its funk and the table populates normally. Once our maintenance is reinstated we'll try to carve out some time to open a ticket, and upgrade software if needed. Thanks to our friends at Wistrom Telephone for stepping up to the plate once again on that. Speaking of which, given how important the exchange seems to be to members I assume everyone will be eager to offer both time and financial support as needs arise in the future. There's nothing magic happening here, just hard work and capital... same as any endeavor. > It doesn't look like Anthony applied the controls onto > the leaf switches, like Mankato Networks', that is > currently not applied. Also correct, our L2 security plans centered around member facing ports - the definition of which may shift over time, along with configuration. Note that we do have spanning tree running between the exchange's three switches, and it appears to have worked properly to change the state of the Mankato switch port, but switching-table bug reared its ugly head at the same time. > Only suggestion would be to make the storm control limits > consistent (i.e.: Juniper == 10% of 1g port right now, > Cisco = 20%) That's certainly something that can be revisited, the current values were somewhat arbitrary - our goal was to start off liberal to avoid any chance of tripping up normal traffic. As a side note, we've had several times where the L2 security configs have shutdown individual member ports because of ingress BPDUs or MAC address limits so I'm sure they're working correctly. The storm control is a little harder to judge, logs show it kicking in during this afternoon's incident but the underlying bug made it ineffective. Thanks everyone, anthony

Google Maintenance
by Jeremy Lumby 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

I just wanted to let everyone know that Google's maintenance is complete, and traffic will be returning to normal shortly. Originally the upgrade was not going to support IPv6, however extra effort was put into the upgrade so that IPv6 is supported immediately. Some members may have read that Google's peering policy does not allow bi-lateral peering, however that is not the case with their connection to MICE. MICE members can request to bi-laterally peer with them. If for some reason you are having an issue getting peering(a)google.com to setup a bi-lateral BGP session, shoot me an off list email, and I can get you in touch with people that are familiar with the differences in their MICE connection.

Land o' Lakes (AS14161)
by Richard Laager 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

At the MICE meeting on Wednesday, there was someone attending from AS14161. Are you on this list (or one of the people I BCC'ed)? I believe you said you were connected to MICE, but not exchanging any traffic yet. If so, I'd like to update the records, as I don't have you on the participants page: http://micemn.net/participants.html Are you connected directly, or to a remote switch? What's your IP, peering contact, etc.? If I've misunderstood your status and you're not yet connected, then we don't need to do anything at this time. We'll get all the details figured out as part of the connection process. -- Richard

Statistics reporting for MICE?
by Hannigan, Martin 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

FYI, http://micelg.usinternet.com/export/graph_385.html shows in+out where http://micelg.usinternet.com/export/graph_384.html shows in/out. Which one should we use? I'd like to suggest that MICE follow OIX-1 with respect to agg and other stats: "The IXP MUST publish on a publicly available website the total sum of all incoming and outgoing traffic in bps from all connected networks on the public peering VLAN. The traffic sum MUST include the traffic on customer facing ports only and MUST be made up of 5 min average traffic measurements. A distinction MUST be made between the traffic on the public peering VLAN and any other interconnection service." Traffic "massiveness" isn't as important as how many ASNs are connected. Traffic is an unpredictable and unreliable indicator of an exchanges size and value. ASN counts are much more granular for potential peers to build a case to join. Best, -M<

Re: Googling on IPv6 and HE to 20G
by Jake 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

Greetings Just wanted to bump this discussion. I just had a conversation with a VP with DataBank, a data center service provider here in the Twin Cities metro, about MICE and the current state of the exchange. During that conversation, I had mentioned that the exchange is looking to grow into a secondary site and that the exchange was in the very preliminary stages of discussing a new site. As a result of this conversation, they expressed a lot of interest in donating space, power, and cross-connect services out of their brand new facility in Eagan for a secondary leaf site for MICE. They said they could possibly assist in locating some dark fiber between the two sites as well if the exchange decided to go with DataBank for their secondary site. This Eagan site has close proximity to the AccessEagan network as well as a number of providers that may be interested in participating in the exchange. Below is a link showing where this facility is located: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3255+Neil+Armstrong+Blvd,+Eagan,+MN+55121… I emphasized that the exchange is in the very early stages of discussion about a secondary site. I also mentioned that the exchange is hosting an user group here on January 14th. DataBank would be very interested in dialing into the conference bridge to talk about what they have to offer. If this is something that the exchange would like to pursue, please let me know and I can forward along the user group conference bridge information to the proper DataBank personnel. DataBank also mentioned that they would be able to provide a tour of the new facility during the early part of the third week of January if there’s any interest in checking out the new facility. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Jake

Googling on IPv6 and HE to 20G
by Anthony Anderberg 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Yesterday Google turned up their IPv6 advertisements, and the rush of additional traffic required HE to add a second 10G port on the exchange - they now have Xe-0/0/3 and Xe-0/0/13 as LAG bundle Ae6. Thanks to Jeremy for coordinating everything. By my count we've got four free 10G ports on the main switch, plus a couple allocated that haven't turned up.

Happy Holidays
by David Farmer 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Happy Holidays to everyone. Because of the Holidays and the Winter Break in the Academic Calendar the GigaPOP's traffic will be down markedly for the next Month or so. Traffic levels will recover slowly after the first of the year once the Holidays are over and various GigaPOP Participants (AKA Customers) start to return to classes. However, traffic levels will not fully return to normal until after MLK Day when the University of Minnesota and several other participants begin their Spring Semesters. Joy and Peace to you and your families in 2015. -- ================================================ David Farmer Email: farmer(a)umn.edu Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 1-612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 1-612-812-9952 ================================================
