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.

I apologize for implying you hadn't done you part and thanks for fixing it, I now see you announcing the new next-hop address.

But it looks like I did the swap too quickly and even though 69.147.218.26 was now a secondary address and all of my BGP sessions were using 206.108.255.26 as the source IP, I was still advertising the next-hop using the old block. Turns out if the BGP sessions don't drop, the next-hop won't change.

Graphing issue?
by Mike Bushard, Jr Dec. 12, 2012

Dec. 12, 2012

I was digging through the mice graph's. Appears we lost about a gig and a half at 18:45 or so according to the aggregate graph. I think it's related to what looks like a loss of graphing of the cns switch.

MICE Renumbering Status Update 11/1/2012
by Doug McIntyre Nov. 20, 2012

Nov. 20, 2012

Just a quick update of the MICE renumbering project, current as of 11/1/12. I can measure the hosts talking to the route reflectors, although not any private bi-lateral peering others have setup. Of the 26 active talkers on the MICE route-reflectors right at this moment, only 3 are using only the old IP addresses and not pinging for the new addresses. Furthermore, we're down to 10 sessions announcing only the old next-hop IP address. They have not yet changed their BGP announcements to set the new next-hop IP addressing. But that still is 62% of members that have completed the renumbering phase that we are currently in. So thank you to all those that have. It would be best for those 10 still on the old next-hop to get their BGP updated to announce their new next-hop IP address, as the next phase of the renumbering project is only a month away. Then, members will start removing the old range from their configs, and the people who haven't switched yet will have reachability problems getting to those that are following the schedule. Again, here is the cutover schedule that was emailed out: Addition of Address Secondary: before 10/1/2012 New Prefix Announcements: after 10/1/2012 Final use of old IP address next-hop: before 11/30/2012 Removal of old IP address range: after 12/1/2012 Project End: 12/31/2012 Thanks! -- 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
