We sent a quote to the board members for support renewal on 10/27 and never heard anything back. Support has expired on the switches but can be be brought back under support - typically for a pro-rated cost. I'll get the new cost and we'll send it again. As for a request for support information - neither Levi or myself received any such request. We'll be more than happy to supply it to whomever needs it - just let me know who.

I will be sending out a meeting invite this week. I think I have a microphone solution that will work and we're working on getting a direct connect for Internet to the room to overcome the slow upload speeds that caused much of the issue last month. s *Shaun Carlson*Senior Manager of Information Technology | Arvig ph: (218) 346-8673 | em: shaun.carlson(a)arvig.com On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 8:58 AM, Chris Wopat <me(a)falz.net> wrote: > > Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2014 10:59:18 -0600 > > From: Jason Hanke <jayhanke(a)NEUTRALPATH.NET> > > Subject: Re: UG 15 Reminder > > > > There has been a couple of requests for remote participation. > > > > Would it be possible to get a hard wired connection in the cafeteria? > > Folks, > > Curious if any progress has been made for a decent call in solution?

Re: Statistics reporting for MICE?

by Jeremy Lumby

I agree with the minimum of 24 hour notice to the list so that the members have the option of shutting down BGP ahead of time. I think if we make it much more complicated than that, then we discourage people from volunteering, and since MICE is 100% volunteer based, we would be doing ourselves a disservice. The donation was technically a personal one, however since I am a partial owner of MN VoIP, there is not much difference. I do want to reiterate my standing offer to anyone thinking about connecting to MICE, since I have not formally said it on the list. I am willing to provide free assistance to anyone interested in connecting to MICE, if it is a small entity that needs help with BGP, or a large one that does not have a local presence, and needs remote hands to get hooked up.

We’re all adults here, and more so, we’re supposed to be network professionals. If we believe that MICE is supposed to be production quality then it needs to be treated as such. Suggestion: any irregular/significant maintenance activity should be communicated at least five business days in advance and if there’s regular maintenance (configuration change) that should be done during a prescribed maintenance window (i.e. every Wednesday between 1 and 5 am). No one likes getting up at 2 am, but our staff does it regularly because things happen, despite our vendors’ claims to the contrary.

The huge Cacti traffic spike coincided with adding a 4 port fiber module to the 4200 switch. Juniper claimed it was hot swappable, however the issues were more than they eluded to. This came about since I donated some modules to hold MICE over until a more permanent hardware upgrade can be picked. The good news is the 4500 now has 4 additional SFP+ ports, and the 4200 now has 4 SFP ports.

Agreed. I have a few points with respect to this, but I'll keep it brief. Without port fees or donations, MICE has no capital for hardware. In the scenario above, I'd argue it would be better to deal with a building owner directly (where the owner isn't also in retail colo) to insure neutrality and to keep interconnection costs to a minimum. Not having to traverse a suite would keep the extended interconnect fees at or near null. Finally, this would also address the density issue we are facing here. The bigger the exchange grows in its single location, the more dense the colo becomes network wise and the less likely we're going to be able to see a robust and distributed internet. You don't need to look far to see that in the big metros everyone builds wave systems back to a SPOF. This market is still not that mature and doing something now vs. later would likely benefit it. For some data center operators, this is may be hard pill to swallow which is why exclusivity arrangements should be verboten. For most, it means having access to the differentiator and creating competition based on the real estate and energy costs. Thats good for network operators and good for the market IMHO. Best, -M<

Many of you heard from me off list about this last fall. Connecting a leaf node to the core of MICE is something that needs to be considered before making any decision as how to expand the exchange. An important differentiator for ipHouse, we have the capacity to get to the 511 via our existing connection. We are proposing that we connect the ipHouse facility to MICE with 10G optics (expandable as growth occurs) on our existing dark fiber connection. We can provide MICE any necessary space and power within the ipHouse facility. To answer your question directly about cross connects, there are fees to connect into the ipHouse data center from elsewhere in our building, but for those who are colocated within our data center, a GigE cross connect to MICE is included with colo. Our facility is very well connected, below is a list of carriers with networks in our building. There are several individual networks under common ownership here (e.g. Zayo or Windstream), but the individual network footprints have reach, which could be attractive to potential members of MICE. CenturyLink / Qwest (QC/QCC) Cologix / MN Gateway / FWR Enventis (Hickorytech / CP Telecom) Integra (Electric Lightwave / Frontier) Level3 (Global Crossing / Time Warner Telecom) TDS Metrocom (US Link) Verizon / MCI / WorldCom / Metropolitan Fiber Systems Windstream (KDL / McLeod / Norlight/ PAETEC) Zayo (360 Networks / American Fiber Systems / Touch America) It sounds like this is a topic that should be on the agenda.

Re: Googling on IPv6 and HE to 20G

by Hannigan, Martin

This is great. Nice work. I find that this is very common when a successful exchange is in the market. It's in the exchanges interest to be neutral and never do exclusivity agreements and to populate competing data centers if it makes sense. In this case, I believe the cross connect pricing might be in play and become "attractive" to some parties and have a positive effect on others. Still would like to also see emphasis on the VPLS/PVLAN service so we can all avoid a few xcon fees.

Greetings Just wanted to bump this discussion. I just had a conversation with a VP with DataBank, a data center service provider here in the Twin Cities metro, about MICE and the current state of the exchange. During that conversation, I had mentioned that the exchange is looking to grow into a secondary site and that the exchange was in the very preliminary stages of discussing a new site. As a result of this conversation, they expressed a lot of interest in donating space, power, and cross-connect services out of their brand new facility in Eagan for a secondary leaf site for MICE. They said they could possibly assist in locating some dark fiber between the two sites as well if the exchange decided to go with DataBank for their secondary site. This Eagan site has close proximity to the AccessEagan network as well as a number of providers that may be interested in participating in the exchange.
