BGP communities on Route Servers
by Andrew Hoyos Nov. 30, 2015

Nov. 30, 2015

Hi folks, Some time ago, I recall a discussion and/or email thread about BGP action communities on the route servers (i.e.: don’t advertise to certain peers, prepends, etc). Are these in place, and if so, documented anywhere? If not, could I volunteer some cycles to get in place? I looked through the archives a bit, and poked on the website, but didn’t see anything. Thanks, Andrew — Andrew Hoyos Hoyos Consulting LLC ofc: +1 608 616 9950 andrew(a)hoyosconsulting.com http://www.hoyosconsulting.com

VM donation- change control/graph data backup
by Andrew Hoyos Nov. 26, 2015

Nov. 26, 2015

Hi folks, One of the things that was discussed in the meeting yesterday as change control and config backups. Perhaps along those same lines, we should think about also backing up the graph data somewhere. I’m not sure where any of this data physically lives right now, but perhaps it would make sense to put somewhere *other* than the 511 bldg. I’d like to offer up a VM donation located in Madison, WI to at least run RANCID to grab config backups of the IX switches, as well as a backup target for any data (graphs, route-server config, etc). Effort involved should be minimal, but we’d happily take point on getting RANCID set up and configured as well, and sending diffs to the technical committee, as well as whomever else might see value in seeing config changes happen (perhaps a list?) Let me know, and we’ll make it happen. -- Andrew Hoyos hoyosa(a)gmail.com

Member SLA's
by Jamison Masters Nov. 17, 2015

Nov. 17, 2015

A discussion during the meeting today surrounded a third party maintenance organization, "the SLA vendor," that would accept payment from "Behemoth, Inc." to fulfill Behemoth's SLA (24x7 support, MTTR, etc...). It is established, and I agree that the SLA relationship occurs exclusively between Behemoth and the SLA vendor, and that Behemoth has no higher precedence on the exchange than anyone else. Behemoth is just another port on the switch. However, the SLA vendor would require management access to the IXP equipment to support its SLA, and that is where my concern is. If the SLA vendor is under contract to make Behemoth happy, they may choose to make configuration changes that prioritize their SLA agreement without consideration for the other members in the exchange. e.g., "What if I shut these other ports down to see if it fixes Behemoth's problem?" or, "We just brought on a new MICE member today. Maybe they screwed something up. I'll shut their session down just to see if it affected Behemoth..." We need to thoroughly trust the SLA vendor. What about rights and responsibilities? What penalties will the SLA vendor face if they mangle something for the sake of their contract with Behemoth, Inc., regardless if it nefarious or not? The meeting moved on to change management, an appropriate segue. Jamison Masters Partner / CIO VERUS Corporation 763-354-2204 jamison(a)veruscorp.com

MICE Fees Nay Fundraising
by Justin Krejci Nov. 17, 2015

Nov. 17, 2015

In an effort to not extend the UG discussion further on the "how to get MICE some money" topic today, and as specifically directed by the board, I am posting this idea to the mail list. Given the suggestion of caution that MICE should use when discussing the process of raising funds, I propose the traditional method various associations use of voluntary/charitable donations. The "how much do you feel you and the community benefits from the existence and success of MICE?" approach. Then the little flyer cards with the check boxes next to various suggested dollar amounts is what comes to mind. (hypothetical example) [ ] - $100 / month [ ] - $250 / month [ ] - $500 / month [ ] - $1000 / month [ ] - $_____ / month [ ] - $_____ / one-time MICE could even make note of donor levels if we wanted to get fancy like at all the trade shows: platinum sponsors, gold, silver, tin, plastic, etc. This could be an opt-in choice for donating members if they want to get a little sponsor reference to their website a la CentOS mirros (https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/) Yes, there are logistical issues that would need to be worked out: someone or something to generate payable invoices, the completion of MICE's non-profit status, someone to receive/process payments to MICE, etc. Given the collective knowledge and capabilities of all of the members involved, I don't think any such hurdles are insurmountable. I believe some/many organizations would be willing to make or keep on making financial contributions, I know US Internet fits this category. I wonder how comfortable organizations that are against forced payment for MICE membership would be to contribute voluntarily to MICE in such a fashion. This would at least provide a way to start building some reliable capital vs the ad hoc method of "hey we need to pay the lawyer, can everyone pitch in?" method. I think it would be better to have the funds when needed than to ask for the funds when needed. In any case, I hope to least get the ball rolling on the general topic of funding MICE. Thoughts? Comments? Feedback?

Posting MICE Meeting Materials
by Justin Krejci Nov. 16, 2015

Nov. 16, 2015

I have observed other organizations successfully utilize their website for tracking and posting meeting agendas and meeting meetings. A full blown CMS with revisions/history or a simple flat list or table of URLs can work very well. I suggest something similar be considered for MICE either as a replacement of email or as complement to email. Having a central location makes it consistent and straight forward to retrieve any desired document, current or past. This becomes even more relevant to those that are more recently joining MICE who did not receive the previous emails and so have to dig scrape through mailing list archives if they wish to review and understand the history of MICE. I personally also like that it provides a subtle jab against SMTP from subjugating all of our file transfer methods.

MICE Switch Upgrade
by Anthony Anderberg July 30, 2015

July 30, 2015

As everyone will recall the exchange has had problems with the main switch flooding unicast traffic a couple times in the last few years. Juniper believes we're encountering a known bug that has been fixed in later software releases. Here's the bug description for people with Juniper support ids, as we'd suspected it deals with L2 database MAC learning/maintaining: https://prsearch.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=prcontent&id=PR695200 The upgrade will require a short interruption in exchange traffic. We're currently planning on performing the upgrade next week on Wednesday morning - July 29th between 5am and 7am, that should be the low point in our daily traffic volume. Can someone forward this to the Announce list?

CNS Switch - Cacti Graph Anomalies
by Justin Krejci July 23, 2015

July 23, 2015

Looks like there is maybe some kind of trouble with the CNS Switch. There are a lot of cacti graphing gaps displayed but only for the ports being queried on the CNS switch itself. Looks like it started around 2pm yesterday. Looking at the LAG port graph off the main switch, it does not appear to be affecting actual member traffic so it may be a management issue with the CNS switch or some other control plane issue possibly. Could be indicative of a larger, brewing problem.

IPv6 issues to HE over MICE
by David Farmer July 15, 2015

July 15, 2015

We are seeing issues with IPv6 traffic over MICE to HE, things are working fine over our customer link to HE. I've opened a ticket with them. We dropped our IPv6 peering overnight with MICE, but things might be getting worse as NDSU is reporting problems with there other providers that goes across MICE as well. So, I'm sending out a head up to others connected via MICE.

Re: Please welcome Vast Broadband to MICE

I believe that Anthony finished up the config on the 19th of June. MICE should be ready to go. Is Vast sending someone up to meeting on Wednesday? There is a critical vote on the MICE non-profit status.

FYI: Problem with 10Gbps link to CNS switch
by Steve Howard June 24, 2015

June 24, 2015

FYI: There is a problem with the 10Gig link between the CNS switch (Ten0/9) and the Juniper switch (xe-0/0/29). The Juniper reports low receive light level and drops/restarts the link. After a few rounds of this, the CNS switch err-disable's the port due to link flapping. Our friends at Cologix worked on the fibers over the weekend, but there was no improvement. We'll ship some new optics for the CNS switch to 511. Does anybody near 511 have a spare 10Gig optic for the Juniper switch that can be swapped in temporarily to help troubleshoot the problem? Thanks, Steve

MICE Non-Profit Status
by Jason Hanke June 23, 2015

June 23, 2015

All, This message is to voice my voice support for the documents as presented to the group by the MICE board. The exchange has grown to become a critical piece of the internet and the governance documents need to reflect that growth. I believe that not moving forward at this time puts the exchange at risk of stagnation. Moving forward will also allow the Board to focus their efforts on outreach and growth. Thanks! Jay

I am pleased to announce that Edgeconnex Minneapolis has applied to be an extension node as per the rules we discussed at the last meeting.
