So, EX4500 is ~20-22K each. EX4200 is ~4,500 each. To do what Nevin brought up has a capital cost of ~$60K not counting implementation time. Consider time to be ~$100 per hour minimum and ~80 hours were spent this year already. Rack is ~$1,300 (as was already mentioned) per month. There is a lot of fixation on things right now about 'what is MICE making' or 'how much does MICE need'. Nevin and Jay have both put out some items. Juniper is willing to do some donation upgrade stuff but will cost real dollars (under $5K with $3K maybe already donated). The point is - free ride is coming to a close, to grow MICE we need revenue for MICE. -- Mike Horwath ipHouse - Welcome home! drechsau(a)iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkeley Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

I really think that once we know the outcome of the Cologix discussions we need to put a spread sheet together laying out the proposed costs and go over that at the next meeting.

So what we would need to start then would be how much would that equipment have cost to purchase, how much is donated labor and etc. If MICE starts receiving 1/4 Million in annual revenue things would dramatically change.

Re: Juniper Upgrade

by Nevin Lyne

I agree with others I don't think GigE port fees should be free, everyone on the exchange is getting value. I am not directly connected to MICE myself, I have donated gear to get it started, and I gain benefits from it every month. I would propose either quarterly or annual billing. GigE port = $225/quarter $900/annual ($75/month is the breakdown of course) 10GE port = $600/quarter $2400/annual ($200/month is the breakdown here of course :) 2nd port on on opposite 2nd switch for redundancy same price as first port. Need more than 2nd GigE port move to 10GE not more GigE ports. I think ideal setup goal would be: 2 x EX4200 (96 GigE + each switch has optional 4 x GigE or 2 x 10GE port expansion) 2 x EX4500 (80 10GE + each switch has optional 2 x 4 port 10GE expansion for total of 96 x 10GE) 25% occupation rate even across GigE & 10GE would be $1800 + 4800/month = ~$80k annually 50% port occupation rate = ~$160k/yr 75% port occupation even across 100/1GE an 10GE ports is almost $250k/yr At the 25 to 50% port occupation levels there is easily enough income for MICE to even branch to other MICE owned switches in logical area locations that might be easier for some to cross connect into, sponsor tech events in the area, 1 FTE to manage exchange work, etc. This would of course be outside any donations some might still make into MICE, like I could easily see doing the equiv of a GigE port fee from my own business as an indirect member of MICE to say I am a member of MICE on my web site even. Seems logical, affordable and fairly easy to manage but just me. From a value stand point I pay 2x the above GigE port fee monthly for parking in downtown Minneapolis and I get far more value from MICE then I do the parking spot. -- Nevin Lyne -- Founder / Director of Technology -- Gippy's Internet Solutions, LLC. / EngineHosting.com On Saturday, July 21, 2012 9:25am, "Jay Hanke" <jayhanke(a)MANKATONETWORKS.NET> said: > On Sat, Jul 21, 2012 at 12:28 AM, David Farmer <farmer(a)umn.edu> wrote: > >> Those are perfectly reasonable monthly numbers and not a problem.

We've been running almost costless and revenueless (note: that's because of donations all over the place). To be sustainable this will need to change. Switches, cabling, people/time, marketing, law services - all of it has some kind of cost. Juniper letting us have things at a severe discount is great. What about the second EX4500?

I would not want to see the 10G customers subsidizing free 1G connections. I have no problem with the idea of $150/10G (though many would likely prefer an annual $1,800). However, I would suggest that if you are charging $150/10G, at least $20/1G ($240/1G/yr) would also be appropriate. (IIRC, the 10G ports are not 10x the cost of the 1G ports and there's some amount of overhead for maintaining the account, etc. This would also serve as somewhat of an incentive for people to move to 10G instead of multiple 1G ports which I think is better for the exchange and its participants.

Re: Juniper Upgrade

by Mike O'Connor

on of the tricky things to coming up with a fee is the "what to include in the cost?" question. right now, MICE is making Stone Soup out of the time, energy, thought, leadership, connections, rack space and hardware of it's members. i bet that if one were to put a value on all of those things, we'd find that allocating that number across ports/bandwidth would result in a hefty number. one question -- is MICE ever likely to get to a point where it needs new/current gear? or can it live on cast-offs for a good long time yet? if cast offs will work, then i'd lobby for continuing that tradition so that the cooperative can continue as a zero-cost affair for as long as possible. of course, guilt-tripping the orgs that don't pull their weight (pleas for cast-off gear, more help, more participation, etc.) would remain on the table. :-) mikey PS, here's the wikipedia version of Stone Soup for those of you who haven't heard the tale before. Some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all. - - - - - - - - - phone 651-647-6109 fax 866-280-2356 web http://www.haven2.com handle OConnorStP (ID for public places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.) ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

As you may be aware, a waiting list is starting to form for 10G ports on the main switch. The Juniper switches in the core are on long term demo and will need to be returned to the pool at some point. In addition, there are members that are looking for 10G LAG connections to the main switch. I talked to Juniper and they will allow us to swap our existing stack of EX4200's for a steeply discounted EX4500. http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/switching/ex-series/ex4500/ The new switch would give us 40 1G/10G ports and the ability to add additional shelves in the future with 128 Gb/s VC uplinks.

The plan would be to move anyone with a FastEthernet connection to one of the remote switches.

Re: HE funniness?

by Justin Krejci

Same here... drop in inbound traffic that starting just before 12PM and seemed to return to normal about 12:15PM Not sure if it would have had anything to do with this but we had a support ticket in with them this morning relating some to some very inefficient routing paths for a particular international destination that was adding an additional 50-60ms to the RTT. Having just checked on that routing path about 5-10 minutes before this email I noticed the route path had been adjusted and is now giving about the same RTT latency as our other providers to the destination now. Can't help but wonder if someone made a change relating to our support request but made some small mistake.
