MICE renumbering project -- final cleanup 1/26/2013
by Doug McIntyre Jan. 27, 2013

Jan. 27, 2013

I guess this slipped off my radar, meant to do this sooner. On Saturday, 1/26/2013 between 11:30PM and midnight, I'll be doing the final cleanup of renumbering on the MICE route reflector servers for the MICE renumbering project. This will be removing any trace of the old IP addressing off there, and rebooting each server in turn to clear everything out, while also reconfiguring BIRD to drop the original session, only leaving the new ones going. Then we can return the loan of the IP address space back to Airstream and close out this project. Let me know if there are any questions.

Re: Participants List

> * It is complete, right? Have the old IPs been dropped from the route servers? Err, I guess I hadn't finished that last step. I'll schedule up an outage for each route server to clear everything out of there. Probably this Saturday night, although routing impact should be minimal when doing one at a time. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Participants List
by Richard Laager Jan. 21, 2013

Jan. 21, 2013

I just made an updating pass through the participants list. It's now up-to-date to the best of my knowledge...except for 3 providers who should be up, but I can't ping at all. I left them listed as up for now, and emailed their contacts. I dropped the old IPs now that the renumbering is complete.* If you object, please let me know and I can restore my backup copy. * It is complete, right? Have the old IPs been dropped from the route servers? -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

IP migrations
by Jay Hanke Jan. 16, 2013

Jan. 16, 2013

It would appear a number of members have not yet added the new IP addresses to their MICE Configurations. If you haven't updated your config you are currently NOT able to reach all of the MICE networks. I would also recommend that you look in the looking glass and verify at least one of your next-hops is in the new range. Please update your configurations.

MICE Route Server #1
by Justin Krejci Jan. 16, 2013

Jan. 16, 2013

I lost my BGP session to the #1 server 9 minutes ago and currently no ping/arp/nd for ipv4 and ipv6. Everything else looks fine. Anyone seeing this or know if something is going on with the server? ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Q1 new members
by Jeremy Lumby Jan. 13, 2013

Jan. 13, 2013

Just checking in for a status update if anyone knows of an update on new members connecting. Last I heard Integra was going to wait to connect after the holidays, and Netflix was looking at Q1 of this year. Please let me know if anyone has any updates. I also remember something along the lines of maintenance fees going into effect this year. Has anyone settled on a number yet?

Guessing Akamai helped feed lots of ipad/ipod activations and ios updates yesterday. Looks like we hit the 3gig mark from just Akamai alone almost. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Potential MICE member agreement
by Jeremy Lumby Dec. 17, 2012

Dec. 17, 2012

I have not heard much discussion of maintenance fees lately, however a recent set of two situations brought an idea to the front of my mind. Should MICE have a very basic agreement with each of its members? The reason I bring this up is that we want to keep everyone's experience with the community positive. For example the agreement could contain a requirement to upgrade your connection if it is saturated to the point of causing packet loss (which I would assume members would want to do on their own). The reason I bring this up is because in the past few months I have run across carriers that I am purchasing from that had saturated peering. The two different carriers had two completely different approaches, and the second one concerns me, and is the reason I bring up the MICE agreement. The first was with Hurricane. They had a saturated link to Charter in Chicago. Within an hour of emailing in the details of what I had found to support, they had confirmed the issue, started sending me regular updates until the link upgrade was completed. Due to the short time period that this trouble ticket lasted, I felt it went much better than I would have hoped. The second issue was with Cogent. They had, and possibly still have a saturated peering link with TimeWarner in Chicago. It took me 3 emails with support across 2 business days to get them to believe the issue existed, and then once they got on the same page as me, the would not even provide me with updates on if they will even fix the issue. I have included their final support email below. After waiting a few days hoping they would just fix it, I was forced to manipulate BGP to avoid this saturated link. The bottom line is I bring this up because even though I am a paying customer of both carriers, the second situation made me feel powerless, and that I was not valued as a customer. I realize that they probably have their legal reasons to keep me in the dark, however it has now made me an unhappy customer, and if there was a simple agreement in place about how the peering link should be maintained, then there would be a timeframe for this to be resolved within.
