Is anyone else having issues with connectivity to Charter? I have re-established connectivity to every one else through my other upstreams, other than Charter. I am keeping my MICE port down overnight for good measure.

"Toward Efficiencies in Canadian Internet Traffic Exchange" - a good read for us too, i think
by Mike O'Connor Jan. 29, 2014

Jan. 29, 2014

hi all, i was thinking this might be interesting for y’all, even though it’s got a Canadian slant. lots of their arguments apply to us as well, no? i’m reluctant to hit this list with a 2.5 mB attachment, so here’s a link http://www.cira.ca/assets/Uploads/Toward-Efficiencies-in-Canadian-Internet-… here are a few teaser bullet points from the first page Key benefits: By reducing reliance on costly international data transit, additional ISPs will reduce networks’ ongoing operational costs. These cost savings will flow to Canadian Internet users, and unnecessary export of capital will be reduced. By providing high-speed domestic links, additional ISPs will increase the amount of bandwidth available to Canadian users, mitigating networks’ bandwidth shortages and removing networks’ incentives to impose bandwidth throttling and usage caps. By favoring shorter and more direct routes, additional ISPs will reduce network latency, improving the performance of new services like video and could-based applications. By allowing Canadian data to remain in Canada as much as possible and as often as possible, additional ISPs will reduce the risk of Canadian data becoming subject to foreign laws and practices. By increasing the richness and density of connections between Canadian networks, additional ISPs will increase the reliability of internet access in Canada and its resilience to disaster and attack. among other things, there’s an interesting discussion of Governance Structures about midway through this piece. there’s a Challenges and Responses section right after that. as a retired “suit,” i found it a good read. ;-) mikey PHONE: 651-647-6109, FAX: 866-280-2356, WEB: www.haven2.com, HANDLE: OConnorStP (ID for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Port Anonymity
by Reid Fishler Dec. 12, 2013

Dec. 12, 2013

Hello MICE Persons- The SC has discussed recent requests for protection of port statistics, and we have decided to adapt the method that Netnod in Sweden tackles this issue. At any time, any IX member may choose to make their port anonymous in the graphs and logs. Because the ports are currently labeled, we will allow allow members, upon request, to move to another port at the time that they remove the identity from their port. This will allow any network that does not wish its statistics to be public to be satisfied, while allowing the members to see have access to statistics, in this, a cooperative exchange without dedicated staff. Any members who wish to have their port anonymized, please contact me and I will make sure that it is done. Also, a reminder: port statistics of other members are NOT for sharing outside of your own company without permission from the other involved networks. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to post.

Frank, To answer your question, no idea. We don't usually track individual events or usage surges. Could be a peer had a down on net presence, someone turned up a new customer with demand, a small apple iOS event, etc. If this is a problem I can, but doesn't seem like it.

hi all, thought you might be interested in this piece about the economic impact of IXPs in Latin America. mikey http://www.internetsociety.org/news/new-study-reveals-how-internet-exchange… New Study Reveals How Internet Exchange Points Spur Internet Growth in Latin America 03 December 2013 Joint Internet Society and Universidad de San Andrés report demonstrates significant cost and performance gains from IXP development in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador [Montevideo, Uruguay] – The Internet Society recently published the results of a study that demonstrates the far-reaching economic and societal benefits of establishing Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) in emerging markets. The study, commissioned by the Internet Society and conducted by Professor Hernan Galperin of the Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina, examined the critical cost and performance benefits of IXPs in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador – countries on the leading edge of Internet growth in Latin America. Analogous with the role that international airports play in airline traffic, IXPs serve as critical hubs for data traffic exchange in the global Internet infrastructure. Over 350 IXPs around the world enable local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Internet backbone carriers to efficiently and cost-effectively exchange Internet traffic. Many emerging markets do not have well-established IXPs, forcing domestic Internet traffic onto long-distance international links, resulting in significantly higher costs and quality of service challenges. This new study identifies the positive impact that IXPs have made, including reduced telecommunications costs, faster and better local data exchange, and local technical capacity development. For example: To date, nine IXPs are operational in Argentina as part of the Cabase system that was created in 1998, connecting over 80 network operators. Internet transit costs have been reduced from USD $500 per Mbps per month in one city to about USD $40 per Mbps per month. Service providers have been able to expand their networks and quality of service. In 2004, the Comitê Gestor da Internet (CGI) launched an initiative called PTT Metro to create IXPs across Brazil, starting with their first IXP in São Paulo. As of April 2013, there were 22 IXPs in operation, covering 16 of Brazil’s 26 states. On aggregate, the IXPs associated with the PTT Metro initiative are exchanging over 170Gbps at peak hours, and providing better and faster connectivity to regions of Brazil that had poor Internet service. In Ecuador, international transit costs hover around USD $100 per Mbps per month. Local traffic can be exchanged at the IXP in Quito (NAP.EC) for as little as USD $1 per Mbps per month. Without an IXP, operators would exchange local traffic through international transit routes and the additional wholesale costs for local ISPs would be USD $7.2 million per year. The Colombian exchange point, NAP Colombia, started in 2000 in response to frequent disruptions in the domestic backhaul network and international links. By exchanging traffic locally, and later by installing content caches at the IXP, local ISPs were able to reduce their dependence on international routes, thus reducing costs and, most importantly, increasing service reliability. “This study highlights the critical role that IXPs are playing in Latin America – from human capacity and network development to better quality of service and increased uptake of services,” said Sebastian Bellagamba, Regional Bureau Director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the Internet Society. “Offering more than just cost and performance benefits, well-run IXPs serve as a catalyst to dramatically enrich a country’s Internet ecosystem, opening a new world of possibilities with comparably minimal investment. We appreciate the collaboration with Professor Galperin and hope that this study will help inform the dialogue among government, business, and technology leaders of emerging countries to show them the benefits that IXPs can provide for developing partnerships for Internet growth in the region.” Lead author of the study Hernan Galperin stated, “This report shows the important role that IXPs have played in the development of the Internet in Latin America. This role is likely to become more important as countries in the region address existing challenges such as network security, the improvement in the quality of services, and the reduction in access prices.” The study was conducted as part of the Internet Society’s Internet Traffic Exchange Programme. This programme aims to foster robust, efficient, and cost-effective Internet interconnection environments in emerging economies, and furthers the Internet Society’s overall mission to promote the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world.
