FYI: CNS MICE Switch upgrade to 20Mbps
by Steve Howard 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hello, We are planning to upgrade the CNS Switch connection to a 2x10Gbps LAG tomorrow morning around 5:30-6:00AM. I suspect that this will cause a brief outage for the members that are connected to the MICE switch. If this is a problem for anybody, please let me know and we will reschedule to next week. Thanks, Steve

Gigapop Link Saturated
by Nathan Beard 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

All, It appears that the Gigapop link is saturated, and I've had multiple reports of packet loss on traces to IP's that traverse the exchange link. I'm sure people are already aware of the issue, but does anybody have an ETA on when another link will be added or what is currently being done? Thanks. --

MICE Traffic
by Anthony Anderberg 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Summary: Yesterday afternoon we had a ~20M spike in egress traffic on MICE that seems to have been caused by the main switch not populating a MAC address or two in its L2 table. Since it appears we've seen this before and none of the recent storm control features got triggered it seems like a bug that will need a little research. I don't believe traffic exchange across the network was affected. Gory Details: In late afternoon I noticed that normally quiet ports all had identical graphs showing ~20M of egress traffic. Seeing that it started at about the same time as several changes on the CNS remote switch I called Steve Howard and together we worked through the issue. Counters indicated that it was unicast traffic and Steve wasn't seeing the same patterns on his switch so we zero'ed in on the idea that it was unknown unicast packets (unicasts who's destination MAC wasn't in the L2 forwarding database.) Since that doesn't make any sense in our environment and logs didn't show continuous storm control activity we cleared the L2 forwarding table on the main switch at about 18:41 and traffic immediately returned to normal and has remained normal since. Interestingly there was one burst of logs for a couple seconds like this at the beginning: Nov 5 13:41:04 MICE-SW1 backup MRVL-L2:mrvl_fdb_mac_entry_uc_set(),966:FDb SP HW-overwrite failed(3) for VLANIdx=3:5c:5e:ab:d5:9e:f0/48:IFL=137 I did a search on the error and one of the few hits was some yahoos in Minnesota trying to setup an Internet exchange... but that'll never work. :-) https://www.google.com/search?q=juniper+%22mrvl_fdb_mac_entry_uc_set%28%29%… Other links suggest there is a Juniper bug ID and associated software upgrade so we'll need to do a little research to see what makes sense on that front.

Google on MICE - YAY!
by Justin Krejci 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Well it looks like yesterday they started an introductory level of traffic on MICE then today ramped up a couple of times and are now sitting in the 9+ gbps range. It does not look like any of my eyeballs have even begun to use it much at all based on my MICE traffic and searching my DNS server query logs for 208.65.155.0/24 queries so all this traffic appears to be going to Gigapop and maybe a few others. Hopefully this means Google will add one or more 10-gig links soon.

Upcoming Elections
by Shaun Carlson 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

All, As we approach UG 9, Reid Fischler's term is coming to an end. The SC has been discussing his term and feel that MICE needs someone with a larger reach (read Global, not just local or regional) to fill that position, especially with the push for growth on the exchange that we currently have. With that need comes a limited number of candidates who can fit that role on MICE. We have discussed several options and, at this time, the SC would like to recommend that we extend Reid's term for a period of time while we discuss a long-term plan. Thoughts/Discussion? s *Shaun Carlson *Network Engineering Manager | Arvig ph: (218) 346-8673 | em: shaun.carlson(a)arvig.com ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Discussion Topic Response : Community Lists
by Levi Pederson 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

I will not be able to attend the UG meeting today but I would still like to respond to the discussion that is to take place during the meeting. This topic at hand is the decision to implement Community Strings in the Exchange. There have been a couple responses on this and the primary reasons stated is based on security from my understanding. I am opposed to this implementation. I believe the very idea of segregation in an Internet Exchange undermines the primary purpose of the exchange. We are here to make the internet better not honeycombed. The idea of segregation based on security is a bit odd to me. An allegorical situation would be the following : Invite multiple people over for a pot-luck dinner (BYO-Dish). Have someones kid break one said dish. Then have someone take ALL the food, secure in their house and grant access/monitor to specific pot-luck goers based entirely on their specific point of view. This process I feel will create too much segregation and deviate rather far from the ideological goal of the exchange. My thoughts on responses: 1. How can we continue to provide benefits and capabilities to new members or bgp sessions gone awry? a. We are currently implementing great layer 2 defenses and that is a great start. b. Create a list of best practices and configuration examples for connecting to the exchange as a community. Forgive the long post. Just my 2 cents on table tonight. Thank you,

Discussion - Another BGP Community Viewpoint
by Steve Howard 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

I will not be able to attend the MICE UG meeting tonight. However, I would like to add my thoughts regarding route advertisement control using BGP communities. I am strongly in favor of this capability being added to the route servers. Specifically, I'd like to see the ability to block advertisement to particular ASes or to prepend just to particular AS(es). Perhaps something like Level3, Sprint, and others use: 65000:XXX - do not announce to AS XXX 65001:XXX - prepend one AS to AS XXX 65002:XXX - prepend two ASes to AS XXX 65003:XXX - prepend three ASes to AS XXX 65004:XXX - prepend four ASex to AS XXX I just had to block one customer's netblock at MICE because Netflix traffic shifted in an undesirable manner yesterday. In this case, they really just needed to prepend Netflix at MICE, but since that wasn't an option they requested that we just block their netblock completely from the MICE route servers. BGP Communities give individual MICE members the ability to control their route advertisements to best suit their needs and routing policies without having to block the MICE route servers completely.

Netflix Ramping Up
