Akamai peering at MICE

by Yeung, Kams

Hi All MICE members, Following the announcement of MICE re-numbering plan, we're going to change our peering IP addresses at MICE to: IPv4: 206.108.255.84 IPv6: 2001:504:27::51CC:0:1 Please note that there will be a short traffic interruption when we change our interface IP and we plan to make the change on coming Thursday 18th Oct at 11am-12noon UTC. If you've already peered with Akamai, please setup new peering sessions with our new IP addresses. If you haven't peer with Akamai and would like to, please send an email to peering(a)akamai.com<mailto:peering@akamai.com> We'll remove the peering sessions on our old IP addresses by end of this year.

Re: ASN Traffic Analysis/Tracking/Graphing Tool(s)?

by Anthony Anderberg

I assume it's a NetFlow/IPFIX/sFlow system, which is the only thing I've seen that would do that sort of thing. I've never tried such things on Internet traffic, most tools I've seen track host to host "conversations" which wouldn't scale well but tracking by AS IP ranges would be reasonable. It would be a neat addition to our toolbox. Dave Plonka and other folks over at the University of Wisconsin have done a lot of cool things over the years. http://www.eng.wiscnet.net/stats/ https://stats.net.wisc.edu/ http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/ Anthony Anderberg Sr. Systems Analyst 320-234-5239 anthonyanderberg(a)nu-telecom.net ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Re: MICE Cost Breakdowns

by Shaun Carlson

Based on some of the discussion, in particular the base IP fee, I wanted to test one change. I shifted the Colo costs from the base member fee to the switch portion of the spreadsheet to see how that would impact the distribution. I've included this for your reference. I think it's fair to shift some of that burden, but perhaps move the base fee up slightly to help cover those costs as the resources would be in use either way. MICE Cost Breakdown, Oct 2012 - Revision 1.xlsx <http://db.tt/g1h86bb8> A couple of other thoughts came to mind as I was reading through these comments as well. First, for the meetings, should we consider moving them around a little? Perhaps one at 511, one in Central MN and one in Fargo for 3 a year (or something like that). How would this impact the attendance and cost? Second, there is a lot of talk about remote switches. Should MICE care about the remote switches and should MICE have control of those switches. It occurs to me that we are discussing a fee structure which provides for a base member fee (gets you the IP allocation, peering and vote) and a separate fee for actually connecting to the MICE fabric. Do we care how the member gets to the 511 building so long as it's an L2 connection from their border to the MICE core? In other words, I think this fee structure lends itself to other member companies providing transport and it's up to them what they want to charge for that transport.

MICE Cost Breakdowns

by Jay Hanke

Thanks for all the work and input on this. I got a chance to play with the orange squares this morning. I adjusted the Relative value of the 10G to 1G to 2.64, basically to make the 10G port cost come out to 1k per solar cycle. The total 10G at $1440 (1k + 440) seemed to be reasonable. Remote Switches I'd further propose that remote switch operators pay their port fee but not an IP fee unless they are peering as well. Anyone who pays any fee is a member and has voting rights. Which is a change from our current requirement of having 1 BGP session. Any AS connected to a remote switch pays the IP Fee and the port costs are between them and the remote switch "owner". Remote Switch owners must provide superuser rights to MICE for their switches to provide common administration. I'd also argue the equipment switching must be dedicated. Remote switch operators are responsible for all the costs associated with running their remote switches. Addition of future switches requires Board of Governors approval, and likely some written agreement in the future. Remote Switches applies to attaching a L2 fabric to the network not transporting single connections. I think MICE not purchase or provide any transport period. If other parties want to offer that service I don't see an issue with it Grace Period I'd advocate offering a six month grace for new members on either 1G or 10G ports for new participants. Small Networks Under this model, small networks could connect to a "cheaper" remote switch so they would have a way to connect and participate in MICE that's feasible for them. ~$500/year isn't a huge hurdle. Expansion beyond 511 I think MICE should focus on getting our ducks in a row in 511 for now. I would be open to "seeding" a second exchange somewhere else in the Midwest. Promotion We should budget something for promotion and holding events. Organizing a UG is a PITA when you need to get everything for free. In addition, we may need to chip in for some travel at some point.

We're using our current costs as a way to estimate future costs. In other words, we're not saying that we need to buy another 40-port 10G switch in 3 years. We're saying we need to buy an X-port 40G or 100G switch in 3 years, and by then, it'll probably cost about what the 10G switch cost us this time. I realize this isn't perfectly accurate, but at this point, I like the fact that it's closer to objective than subjective.

11k MAY be a bit too low. I would like to see us have about 15k a year, as that will give us some money for sending out techs (which we do NOT get for free from Cologix) in case of failures, and also replacing things that break when you least expect it.

Dean, those are great observations and questions. This sheet really isn't a recommendation at this stage so much as its a way to understand our costs, or potential costs, and decide how we want to move forward. I also think another key question was raised at the meeting on Wednesday about where we're headed as a group. I.e. long term goals and strategies. The answer to that question is just as important to determining our fee structure and method of financing. s // SIGNED // Shaun Carlson --------------- Please excuse my grammar and typos, this was sent from my mobile device.

Re: New cost breakdown worksheet

by Dean Bahls

Shaun and Richard, I like and appreciate the work and thought that you guys have put into this. The only comment I have is regarding the acquisition of new members. Since MICE is still relatively young, I'd encourage us to look at ways to make it easy for companies to come on board. Can we extend the life expectancy of hardware from 3 years to 5 or 6 years? The switches really should live much longer than 3 years in the way we are using them. And one question: A significant portion of the annual cost is related to the Base Member Fee, and a large portion of that is associated with the Cologix-donated space and power fees that are currently forgiven. I agree with the notion that charging members for those otherwise forgiven fees is a good way to build cash reserves without asking for more donations. Is $11K annual a reasonable number for a MICE bank account?

MICE Cost Breakdown, Oct 2012.xlsx <http://db.tt/aJCZNXGz> This spreadsheet proposes fees based on the current costs of the exchange.

POLICY PROPOSALS: General The term "Resources" refers to physical or logical resources such as IP addresses, ports, etc. In the 4th quarter, the rates for Resources for the upcoming year shall be fixed by the Board of Governors. The new rates shall take effect on January 1. Future policy action may define a Grace Period (e.g. for new members) during which fees are waived.

Resources connected on or before the 15th of a month shall be billed effective the 1st of that month. Resources connected after the 15th shall be billed effective the 1st of the next month. No refunds shall be given for disconnections. Credit is only given during migrations, as provided below. Migrations Additional resources utilized during MICE-initiated migrations are not billable provided the member complies with MICE's timetable for that migration. Members upgrading (not downgrading) the type (speed) of their ports (e.g. one or more 1G ports to one or more 10G ports) shall be prorated the difference between the port costs. If the difference is negative, the credit may be carried forward up to one year. During the period of overlap between the sets of ports, one month's overlap of the cheaper set shall be credited; if there is less than one month of overlap, no overlapping charges apply. IPs Upon application, a new member shall be assigned one set of one IPv4 address and one IPv6 address. The IPs are billable one month after the route servers are configured (unless the member opts out of multi-lateral peering) and the member is notified of the assignment. Additional IPv4 and IPv6 addresse sets are billable at the same rate as the first set. Members may not be assigned more than two sets of addresses without future policy action. Ports Ports are billable once configured and the member is notified of the assignment, except that ports assigned to new members are billable one month later. Transceivers Transceivers (SFP, SFP+, etc.), when required for ports, must be purchased from MICE or provided by the member. If purchased from MICE, no Grace Period applies.

New cost breakdown worksheet

All, Richard Laager from Wikstrom Telephone and I have put together a spreadsheet (see link below) detailing the cost breakdown and potential fee structures for MICE. I've highlighted the input fields in orange (you're welcome Mike H) and would encourage you to review the values and assumptions annotated within the sheet. MICE Cost Breakdown, Oct 2012.xlsx <http://db.tt/aJCZNXGz> This spreadsheet proposes fees based on the current costs of the exchange.
