Re: WiscNet Remote Switch / Dedicated Remote Switches

by Chris Wopat

Hi folks, thanks for the lively discussion so far. A few notes and comments about the more recent technical part of the discussion. In our shared switch scenario, we intend to limit mac addresses per our downstream customers on the MICE vlan itsself, not per physical interface. This seems fairly standard, we would hope that as many as possible are already doing this. We would advocate this as a requirement for all customer-facing ports on all switches, remote or otherwise, dedicated or not dedicated. We would also welcome an mac limit on the Arista Core set to something reasonable facing us and other remote switches as well. The current non-remote switch limit of 5 would work perfectly fine in our scenario. Perhaps a limit per remote switch based on N+something should also be enforced as long as it's not a large burden on the MICE operators. We also use BGP session culling, it's deactivated by default. We'd activate on the MICE vlan during maintenance. #### Junos config example for mac limits #### interfaces { ae0 { description "WiscNet Router"; unit 100 { description "MICE :RP:"; vlan-id 100; } } et-0/0/25 { description "MICE Arista Core"; unit 0 { family ethernet-switching { interface-mode access; vlan { members 100; } } } } } vlans { vlan-100 { description "MICE Peering"; vlan-id 100; interface ae0.100; inactive: forwarding-options { /* based on https://tinyurl.com/junos-bgp-culling */ filter { input CullBGP-MICE; output CullBGP-MICE; } } switch-options { interface ae0.100 { interface-mac-limit { 1; packet-action drop-and-log; } } } } } As far as graphing per-vlan, this works well on Q5 based systems such as our Juniper QFX10k. This + buffers is part of the reason we chose this platform instead of a cheap Broadcom device. This is also a part of the reason we would prefer to *not* shove a cheap Broadcom/chinaswitch device in the middle. We also support SNMP polling per interface. In our case we'd expose just the MICE interfaces using views. 630 below is a subinterface's snmp ifIndex. 1.10, 1.11, etc are ifOctests, ifUcastPkts, and so on for that interface. This is manual, but with only a handful of interfaces, totally do-able: snmp { view view-mice { oid .1 exclude; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.18.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.19.630 include; oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.630 include; } community wiscnet-mice { view view-mice; authorization read-only; } } Cheers, -- Chris Wopat Network Engineer, WiscNet wopat(a)wiscnet.net 608-210-3965

Re: WiscNet Remote Switch / Dedicated Remote Switches

by Jay Hanke

MICE has had several requests from ethernet transport vendors to hand customers to MICE on individual vlans over a single port. It might be worth looking into a bridge domain offering where MICE pops the tags off and enforces the required security. If this were added MICE would have two types of remote connectivity, full remote switch and MICE transport provider. This service is already available from several of the remotes by stacking a transport switch in front of the remote and breaking the customers out into their own ports. To my knowledge, this setup has been very effective at isolating issues down to a single customer/port. I believe this is supported in newer Arista code but was a bit of a mess to get the graphing and security to to work. If we did something like this the best course of action might be to place a pizza box and do and uplink into the main fabric. Connecting to one of the "local" remote switches is also a very viable option. -- Jay Hanke, President South Front Networks jayhanke(a)southfront.io Phone 612-204-0000

A quick scrub of other common vendors (Cisco, Arista) have the same. I wouldn’t see it as unreasonable to *require* a remote switch operator by whatever means necessary to enforce a one MAC address limit on their extension switch per logical participant handoff.

I think the board is hesitant to go down the road of making judgements based on _who_ is making a proposal. Treating all participants equally has been a very high priority. The "who", in terms of organization, can change through acquisitions. I realize that's not going to be the case with an organization like WiscNet, but we already saw this with the Neutral Path remote. The "who", in terms of people, can also change through staffing changes. -- Richard

I'm not 100% sure I follow your example here. Enforcing a single MAC address is straightforward if the only thing plugged into the non-dedicated switch (on the "downstream" side) are routers. But what happens if hypothetically Wiktel and Paul Bunyan want to exchange an Ethernet circuit VLAN over the CNS switch? The CNS switch is going to see more than just our router MAC addresses. CNS can't limit us to one MAC on a per-port basis. Are you saying that a remote switch would use a layer 2 ACL to limit the source MAC transmitting into the MICE VLAN while allowing other MACs on other VLANs? Is this a relatively common feature? Is this something that you feel would be reasonable to _require_ of a non-dedicated switch? -- Richard

Re: WiscNet Remote Switch / Dedicated Remote Switches

by Justin Krejci

I advocate an official MICE position that switch fabric hardware be dedicated to MICE but allow the board to make exceptions to this position on a case by case basis, where the requesting entity can plead a case and provide justification/explanation on why they feel it necessary to provide remote access via a shared switch fabric, eg as in this case it would allow WiscNet to provide additional networks to connect to MICE that otherwise would not, while WiscNet otherwise has a clean reputation within MICE and nobody has any reason to suspect they are up to anything shady, and they are intending to use modern hardware not some ancient 2000's era hunk o junk. The board can then measure the request and approve or reject the exception request as they deem best for the exchange using their own prerogative. As the request for remote switches is a fairly low volume in the first place and the request for remote switches that would be deployed as a mixed use switch is even lower, I suspect this would not cause an undue burden on the board to handle requests of this nature. The board can easily dismiss frivolous requests, citing the relevant MICE policy. I feel this would provide continuing good network stability as I agree that dedicated hardware would be less susceptible to problems stemming from mixed use conditions but still allowing the best benefit to the exchange as a whole by allowing it to happen with control when it makes sense. The requesting entity still needs to go through the regular process of discussion on the list and what not as well, it would just need the extra step of being pre-screened by the board for shared use fabric switches. ________________________________ From: MICE Discuss <MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET> on behalf of Gary Glissendorf <Gary.Glissendorf(a)SDNCOMMUNICATIONS.COM> Sent: Monday, December 2, 2019 4:27 PM To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] WiscNet Remote Switch / Dedicated Remote Switches SDN would be in support of a 1 mac per external interface from the a participant connected at the Core or a connected to a Remote switch.

I’d argue that dedicated hardware could fail in an unknown way, just the same as a shared device. To the "MICE Core", the action to fix it would hopefully be the same - sever the connection to the downstream switch and isolate the failure area (whether automated - pps limits for bcast/mcast traffic, mac limits, etc, or manual port shutdown). MICE should enforce certain standards that ensure remote switch operators are following any requirements - same if dedicated hardware or shared hardware. — Andrew Hoyos hoyosa(a)gmail.com <mailto:hoyosa@gmail.com> > On Dec 2, 2019, at 4:13 PM, Jeremy Lumby <jlumby(a)MNVOIP.COM> wrote: > > One reason I am very much in favor of dedicated hardware is isolation of the unknown.

One reason I am very much in favor of dedicated hardware is isolation of the unknown. As any seasoned network professional knows, things rarely fail in a way that you expect.

Re: WiscNet Remote Switch / Dedicated Remote Switches

by Andrew Hoyos

I’m in full support of WiscNet being able to add a remote switch here, even if it’s not dedicated. This seems like a 2nd switch in the mix just complicates things in the end, reading through below. If it boiled down to adding additional participants on a non dedicated switch, or nothing - my $0.02 would be to add the additional participants via the non-dedicated switch. This is really the same thing as what Northern Lights Gigapop is doing on MICE already (https://it.umn.edu/northern-lights-gigapop-introduction <https://it.umn.edu/northern-lights-gigapop-introduction>). I think R+E institutions need a bit of flexibility in this regard, given the scale and needs of their connectivity to other institutions. The board, IMHO, should have some flexibility to approve one-offs like this, even if policy is changed in the future. In the interim, it seems like the request should be evaluated using current rules/procedures (which seems like it’s board discretion at this point in time - current rules found on website posted below). Remote Switches If you are interested in operating a MICE remote switch, please contact peering(a)micemn.net <mailto:peering@micemn.net>. The process for connecting a new remote switch is as follows: The remote switch operator will provide a technical proposal to the board. The board will publish the proposal to the discussion list. After a reasonable comment period, the board will approve or deny the proposal. Remote switch operators’ obligations include (but are not necessarily limited to): Operators must obtain prior approval from the board for modifications. Operators are responsible for the costs of operating their remote switch and the links to the core switch. They must monitor their traffic levels and promptly add capacity to keep the links running congestion-free. Operators must enforce MICE’s technical port rules on their remote switches. Operators must coordinate participant connections and disconnections with MICE. MICE allocates exchange IP addresses and documents participant connections. Operators must inform their participants that the participants are not connecting directly to MICE. The remote switch operator cannot claim to be MICE. Operators must inform their participants that the participants are also subject to MICE rules, procedures, and costs. > On Nov 28, 2019, at 3:08 AM, Richard Laager <rlaager(a)WIKTEL.COM> wrote: > > I realize I am sending this on a holiday.

WiscNet Remote Switch / Dedicated Remote Switches

by Richard Laager

I realize I am sending this on a holiday. This does _not_ require immediate attention; next week is fine. ---- WiscNet has proposed a remote switch. I'm forwarding their proposal to the MICE-DISCUSS list per our procedure. You can find it at the bottom of this message. If you have any feedback for the board, please share on-list or off-list, as you prefer. Note that the listserv software sets a Reply-To, so if you are trying to reply off-list, you will have to _edit_ the To field in your reply. The interesting question from my perspective, which we discussed a bit at the last UG, is whether MICE should require remote switches to be dedicated to this purpose. It's my understanding that other exchanges, e.g. SIX, have this requirement. The last few remote switches have all been dedicated, so things had trended that way without it being an official MICE policy. The WiscNet proposal is for a non-dedicated switch which is bringing this question to the forefront. Requiring remote switches to be dedicated is intended to help protect the MICE switching fabric. It would provide a clean demarcation point, which is important for applying rules like one-MAC-per-port, etc. It also reduces the chances of problems in practice due to clean separation, less complexity of configuration, etc. Currently, the following remote switches are, to the best of my knowledge, dedicated: Zayo (formerly Neutral Path) Minnesota VoIP South Front Networks Compudyne The following remote switches are not dedicated: CNS I'm not sure about the following, but they're probably not dedicated: Mankato Networks Northern Lights GigaPoP* * This is something we treat somewhat like a remote switch, but I believe they pre-date the remote switch policy. Note that the non-dedicated switches are the original remote switches or their direct successors. I believe the consensus at the last UG when we discussed this was that: - Implicitly: We need to decide the policy. - Either way, the policy needs to apply to all remote switches; i.e. we don't reject some solely for being non-dedicated while accepting others. - If we require remotes to be dedicated, existing non-dedicated switches need to be grandfathered for at least some amount of time. Upgrades to new switches would end grandfathering. I do not feel confident saying there was a consensus on the actual question of whether dedicated switches should be required or not. If you feel I misjudged the consensus of the room in either direction, please let me know. If a dedicated switch was required, WiscNet would have to add an additional switch, which would look like this: [MICE Arista] | | 100G-LR4 | [WiscNet MICE Remote Switch ] * No VLANs, All Untagged | | | 100G-SR4 | 100G-SR4 | | | VLAN 123 | VLAN 456 | untagged | untagged [WiscNet Existing Switch] | | | existing | existing | 100G-LR4 | 100G-LR4 | | [WiscNet MX] [Iowa MX] The VLAN IDs (123, 456) are made-up examples. We discussed this and other alternatives off-list. WiscNet is firmly opposed to adding such an additional switch. If MICE requires dedicated remote switches, WiscNet will not operate a remote switch. They will still upgrade their connectivity to MICE to 100G, but Iowa and MERIT will likely be left out (unless they decide to get their own MICE ports). I (and I assume the rest of the board) would also be especially interested to hear from the other operators of non-dedicated remote switches. Feel free to reply on-list or off-list at your option. As per the usual remote switch procedure, after there's been an opportunity for comments, the next step is for the board to vote on the WiscNet remote switch proposal. Approving this proposal implicitly decides that non-dedicated switches are okay, at least for now. It is my view that we should _explicitly_ decide the dedicated remote switch question one way or another, so I will also ask for a board decision on that, but I cannot _require_ such a decision individually, of course. There is no specific timeline on this, but if you have thoughts, please share them as soon as possible. Finally, while this is already public knowledge, I'd like to specifically disclose that my employer's connection to MICE is on the CNS switch, a non-dedicated remote switch. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: WiscNet - AS2381 - Mice Remote Switch Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2019 13:22:44 +0000 From: Chris Wopat <wopat(a)wiscnet.net> Hi folks, sorry for the multi-week week delay in responding. I've attached a simplified diagram indicating how WiscNet would like to connect to MICE. The diagram is separated by three phases- Current, Proposed, Future. We are looking to transition from our current 10g connection via University of Minnesota Gigapop, to a direct 100g connection from the MICE core Arista switch to WiscNet's recently installed QFX10002. We would like to have the ability to share this connection with other Research and Education organizations that may already connect to our existing switch, as well as a few who may connect to it in the future. Known entities on the interested list are University of Iowa (AS3676) and MERIT Network (AS237). This list may grow a little over time, but it's likely that we'll be able to count this number entities on one hand. WiscNet is a non profit 501(c)(3) who per our bylaws (https://www.wiscnet.net/bylaws) primarily serve educational institutions and do not service commercial entities. When WiscNet recently reached out asking to become a MICE remote switch, we were disappointed to hear that a recent(?) policy change was made indicating that remote switches must be dedicated for MICE usage only. We will not be able to dedicate this device for MICE usage, nor would it be cost effective to purchase a separate switch just for this purpose. We're hoping that there's some middle category here where we're a switch + our few research partners, similar to how a few entities are set up today.

Okay, I've allocated Port-Channel32 for HBC. How about this workflow though? They turn up the new link on Ethernet4/11 as a single-port LAG, cut their traffic on their side to the new port, and then ask us to bind the original port back into the LAG that is Port-Channel32 that their traffic would now be traversing? This is how things are setup now, waiting to hear if they want something different. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades
