Not sure if you got this straitened out Jay, But Zayo basically blocks everything along with their upstreams by default.

Re: New Member's Configured on BIRD

by David Farmer III

In a way both are correct. The Northern Lights Gigapop (AS57) is the ISP transit provider AS operated by the University and is the AS peering at MICE. Northern Lights Gigapop is simply a DBA of the University. AS217 is the source AS for traffic from the University's campuses. AS1998 is the source AS for the State of MN and MNSCU's campuses. There are a number of other ASes that AS57 is transiting to MICE as well. I can create a new AS-set in the RADb containing the ASes that AS57 is transiting to MICE, if folks are interested let me know. Is anyone connected to MICE generating BGP or traffic filters from the RADb?

Shit, that's a great point! We aways have that set. Steve, can you check that? Could very well be a different port now :( But once you set it to persist (if it wasn't set), I can look into things further. -- 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

Your assumption is wrong unfortunately. I wish I had made a mistake, but stats.micemn.net's Cacti config is 64bit for gathering of stuff. And using SNMPv2 according to the configuration.

'micemn-gateway-2.micemn.net - Traffic - Gi0/2' in Cacti is exhibiting signs of using SNMPv1 counters (frequent gaps at higher bandwidth usage) Is this a known issue?

Re: Akamai Traffic on MICE

by David Farmer

I was planing to make that part of the discussion with Akamai. However, even without MICE we were going to need more servers for next fall. It seems our servers were shedding demand much of the spring. Since school is out, our demand has dropped by about 50% over the last 2 weeks, and is down about 65% from our Spring peak about 6 weeks ago.

Re: Akamai Traffic on MICE

by David Farmer

As was noted we installed a 2nd GigE between the two switches yesterday. Things are looked good last night we peaked at 1.7Gbps most of that coming from the U's Akamai Stack. Akamai tells me we are maxing out our servers again, it looks like we were maxing them out most of the spring anyway. The Akamai servers are putting out a little less than 2G from about 7am to 11pm. I believe we are seeing more traffic in the evening going to MICE because most of the other Gigapop networks have more of a business day demand curve, so Akamai serves more of the demand out of MICE in the evening as demand from the Gigapop networks slack off. So I think things are much better now, we should get the new switches installed and people moved over but we shouldn't have to rush it. The University will work with Akamai to get more servers over the summer, but I would hope we would have everyone moved over to the juniper switches long before that happens.

The default for the 4500/SupIV is for src-dst-ip, and Dave changed the 3560E to do this as well when we brought up the port-channel. Its converging to something pretty close now Gig2/45 5 minute input rate 325460000 bits/sec, 35790 packets/sec Gig1/2 5 minute input rate 337375000 bits/sec, 36799 packets/sec -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> -- ipHouse/Goldengate/Bitstream/ProNS -- Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

I think the Cisco default in a PortChannel is to load balance by src-mac, which might have much help in the current situation, since most of the traffic is coming/going to one mac addr. You might want to try changing it to src/dst IP for a better distribution of flows across both links, or even per flow, if the box supports it. IIRC, "port-channel load-balance ?" should show you what the capabilities are.

Re: Traffic between 10Gig & 1Gig Switches

by James Montz

Switches are now @ 511 in FWR Suite. I did not get a chance to check the SFP. I will be back @ 511 to do install/config around 4pm if noone else gets to it before then.

Steve, Happy to accept the shipment & install, if that is the way that it works out. It looks like we (Dave Farmer & FWR) will be putting up a second Gig link over copper between the CNS & core MICE sw later this AM.

We didn't leave any optics down there, you will need to provide a Cisco (or compatible) SFP. Alternatively, you could consider doing a 10Gig connection. Your peak was almost 600Mbps last night! If you want to do 10Gig, you'll need X2 optics for the CNS switch. Let me know and I'll assign a 10Gig port. CNS will donate use of 10Gig LR optics to MICE for use in the CNS switch to connect to the Juniper switch. Unfortunately, those optics are in Bemidji. I will check to see if anybody here is going to the Cities today, if so I will send the optics with them, if not, I will overnight them to Mike Hemphill at FWR. (Mike, I hope that is OK with you).
