Traffic between 10Gig & 1Gig Switches
by Steve Howard May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

The traffic to/from the U shot up today. I'm guessing that is CDN related? The link between the CNS switch and the MICE switch shot up to ~850Mbps today. Too bad that is only a single gig connection! It is great to have the traffic on the exchange, but we should probably deal with this nearly saturated link fast. Here are a few possible solutions: 1) Add another Gig connection. We'd probably need to pay FWR for a cross-connect (CNS is paying for the first one) with this option; 2) Use one of the new Juniper switches with a 10Gig interface and connect that to a 10Gig interface on the existing MICE 10Gig switch, then move some of the 1Gig members over to those ports. This would require purchase of 10Gig optics for the Juniper and the existing 10Gig MICE switch; 3) Move some of the higher bandwidth MICE members to the 1Gig ports on the 10Gig switch. Would this increase the FWR cross-connect charges for those members if they are going from copper to fiber? 4) Encourage MICE members on the 1Gig switch to upgrade to a 10Gig connection; 5) Ask the U to not advertise some of the members on the 1Gig switch to CDNs (if that is the cause of the traffic load). This is a bummer if you are one of the networks that gets left out. I really don't like this option -- we are finally getting real traffic on the exchange and then we'd be cutting back. What does everybody think? Any other suggestions? ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

MICE Traffic
by Jay Hanke May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

We have seen a dramatic growth in traffic on the exchange. The GE link between the CNS remote switch and the Main switch is running about ~950 Mb/s. We're going to need to make some upgrades shortly to avoid degrading services. Perhaps more quickly than originally planned. We may need some volunteers and stuff depending on the course of action.

WOW!!!
by David Farmer May 18, 2011

May 18, 2011

Between 1:30 and 2:00 today Akamai started sending traffic to someone (or multiple someones) on MICE from our 10G connected stack of servers to the tune of about 800Mbps or more, and its still going. How full are the links between the switches? :) let me know if I need to do something on my side. http://perfsonar.northernlights.gigapop.net/gui/cacti/graph.php?action=view… FYI, those graphs are in MBytes/sec multiply by 8 for Mbps.

MICE Presentation at Vaultas?
by Steve Howard May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hello, I had an e-mail forwarded my way that indicates that MICE will be doing a presentation at John Unger's new data center in Alexandria next week. I'm curious, who is doing the presentation? What are the options to connect to MICE from Alexandria? Also, I was at an IPv6 presentation last week at the Tristate Operators Conference. The speaker asked about how many people were using IPv6. We were the only company that raised our hands. Sad. During the question/answer period I mentioned MICE and that you could get free IPv6 transit via Hurricane Electric if you are connected to MICE. Nobody indicated any interest. More sadness. At least they've now heard about MICE.

Recruitment / Advertising to MICE
by Justin Krejci May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hello List, US Internet is in the process of getting connected to the network. In fact I plan to pop down to FWR this evening still and plug in the cross connect on my way home. In any case I only became aware of MICE thru unrelated discussions with WIN who mentioned it to me and passed me Jay's contact info which brings me to the subject at hand, is there any effort or interest in making a more official recruitment effort to get networks and providers to join up? I realize MICE is still pretty new and fresh but it strikes me it is only as useful as the networks that are participating. I think it would be great if we got Comcast and Qwest (CenturyLink, whatever) in particular to join up as they have big local networks in town. I also scanned some of the archives and was interested in the whole CDN participation idea. Any news on that at all with Akamai or others for that matter? Also are there any plans on the table for future UG meetings for MICE? -Justin Krejci ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Looking Glass / Route Server for MICE
by Justin Krejci May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011

As I understand it there is currently no public looking glass or route server for MICE users or the public in general. Any interest in setting something up? I could donate a server or some time to the cause. They are quite useful in troubleshooting routing issues or network changes.
