Board Minutes
by Jeremy Lumby March 15, 2022

March 15, 2022

Since we did not have much open discussion time at the end of today's meeting, I wanted to propose a change for the procedure that the board follows. I propose that the board start taking, and publishing minutes from board meetings. This would allow the membership to see how the board members were voting/representing their interests. It would also be invaluable information for the voting members to have in the event that we ever had a contested election again.

We are in the process of converting to IXP Manager. Will that provide the data you need? If so, then it’s not likely worth fiddling with much more now. If IXP Manager won’t provide the data, then it sounds like we should add the average to the graph? -- Richard > On Mar 11, 2022, at 22:50, Bill Woodcock <woody(a)pch.net> wrote: > > > >> On Mar 12, 2022, at 3:53 AM, Richard Laager <rlaager(a)wiktel.com> wrote: >> >> https://www.pch.net/ixp/dir lists "Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange" as having an average of 1K of traffic. > > Ah, you changed your traffic graph URL. I’ve updated to your new URL, and the new numbers should be reflected immediately. Also, the graph you produce doesn’t show your average (which is the only economically-significant number), and we’re in the process of rewriting our code (which broke) that calculates average values from graph bitmaps, and if you’re making your raw data available, we don’t have a URL for it… Everything goes smoothest when we can pull raw data rather than scraping from the bitmap. With 800 IXPs to collect data from every day, the ones that are fully automated scale well, but the ones that require a human being to go do something don’t scale well for us, since we’re only about twenty people. > > -Bill >

MICE marketing

One other comment on the marketing side - It would be handy to have PCH update https://www.pch.net/ixp/dir#!mt-filters=%7B%22ctry%22%3A%5B%22dropdown%22%2…. I received a snarky comment from someone about the 1Kbps average traffic that they are showing.

MICE UG40 Minutes
by AnthonyAnderberg＠nuvera.net March 12, 2022

March 12, 2022

One correction from the meeting: In the treasurers report I stated that we’d reimbursed Richard Laager $2704.44 for new server hardware, I was reading the wrong column in the report - the amount reimbursed was actually $1576.65. I’ve updated these notes to correct that, as always let me know if anyone sees anything else wrong or silly. Cheers, anthony

Fiber Minnesota Satellite Upgrade
by Dean Bahls March 7, 2022

March 7, 2022

Good morning! FM (CNS) is going to upgrade our satellite switch on Tuesday, March 15 @ 9:00am. We are going to have BGP shut down on the core switch to keep the process as graceful as possible. The new switch is installed, powered up and configured, so it is mostly just a migration of optics and jumpers. We expect the entire process to take <30 minutes. Mostly this is an FYI to everyone that you'll see a disruption in connectivity to our downstream customers at this time. Oh, and Anthony may have to do some work in Cacti as well. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks, Dean Dean Bahls Network Operations Manager | Fiber Minnesota 14 Main St SW | PO Box J | Menahga, MN 56464 218.564-1321 (Direct) | 218.564.3000 (Main Office) <mailto:dean.bahls@fiberminnesota.com> dean.bahls(a)fiberminnesota.com
