Not learning all routes from RR#2
by Frank Bulk June 28, 2018

June 28, 2018

We (AS53347) moved to a new border router overnight and had some issues with getting our MICE route reflector peerings up -- we'd learn a route or two per second. We had to tweak our Arista's BGP configuration to not "enforce-first-as". Most other direct peers were fine. Eventually RR #1 came up just fine, but RR #2 continues to languish, learning just learning about 10,900 routes. SiouxCenter-Arista-North(s1)#show ip bgp sum BGP summary information for VRF default Router identifier 207.32.15.22, local AS number 18883 Neighbor Status Codes: m - Under maintenance Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent InQ OutQ Up/Down State PfxRcd PfxAcc 206.108.255.1 4 53679 44493 4138 0 0 10:56:46 Estab 56188 56188 206.108.255.2 4 53679 39124 7640 0 0 11:38:40 Estab 10929 10929 I'm not sure if we have remote access to the RR's, but whoever does, any hints as to why we're experiencing this behavior?

email scrapers - update participants list?
by Andrew Hoyos June 14, 2018

June 14, 2018

Hiya folks, Looks like we’ve been getting a small volume of spam based on seemingly culled email addresses from the MICE Participants list, located here: https://www.micemn.net/participants.html <https://www.micemn.net/participants.html> Any thoughts on obfuscating the email addresses listed there with a (at) and (dot) to help prevent? Or perhaps some other clickable CSS/Javascript thing that accomplishes the same? Or, perhaps the minimal amount of spam is worth the convenience of clicking… Thoughts? — Andrew Hoyos hoyosa(a)gmail.com

US Inernet Network Maintenance
by Justin Krejci June 14, 2018

June 14, 2018

Hello, US Internet will be rebooting the router connected to MICE next week to apply OS updates. We will shutdown all BGP sessions in advance to allow traffic to re-route. This will happen sometime on the June 19th overnight into June 20th. The precise timing is unknown as this is just one of numerous other network changes occurring that night. Duration of impact should be less than 30 minutes. Thanks! Justin

Changing hats
by Frank Bulk June 1, 2018

June 1, 2018

My $DAYJOB employer, Premier Communications (AS53347) is planning to move our interconnection with MICE to FiberNet (AS18883). I'm the technical contact for both. Can we get another IX IP to accomplish this transition? Organizationally, what, if anything, do I need to do with MICE? I know that I will need to make changes with all our direct peers, too. So I would need both IPs for a while. Regards, Frank

RFC: Remote Switch in Duluth
by Richard Laager May 31, 2018

May 31, 2018

The following is from Ryan Goldberg of Compudyne: ---- Compudyne/AS47096 is interested in operating a MICE remote switch in Duluth. We have two 10G paths from 511 to Duluth (one on Charter, one on Enventis) in a ring of 5 Juniper MX boxes (2 at 511, 3 in Duluth – the 3 in Duluth are interconnected over dark fiber). We hit a little over 5G on 5min averages in total between the two 511<->Duluth legs. Latency is 4-5ms. We currently participate in MICE via MNVoip’s extension, mainly because it makes more overall sense to pick up MICE + SIX + Denver + KC all on one interface (for now). We’d probable leave it like that for a while. For the proposed extension switch we’d do a two site VPLS config on the MXes, with on a fresh, dedicated 10gig port at 511 and corresponding 10gig port in Duluth. We’d start with an EX4200-24F in Duluth, and run the usual Juniper-y stuff (from http://micemn.net/technical.html) Initial participants would only be on 1gig ports on the 4200. As for location, we’re currently leaning toward “the Missabe Building” at 227 W 1st St, Duluth, MN – this is our primary downtown Duluth POP, and aside from our fiber, and there’s high-count fiber from at least 5 other carriers in the building. The space has dual AC and is backed by generator power. Upgrade path is 100G 511<->Duluth, at least on one leg. If business drives it, we’ll just do it. Otherwise it’s budgeted for next year. As for the switch, we’d move to a ex4550. ---- Without taking any position on this here yet, I'd like to highlight a couple of facts: The proposed transport is over a VPLS link (i.e. shared with other traffic, not a dedicated wave). In the past, and quite possibly still, we have had participants connected over shared links, but not entire remote switches. -- Richard
