Arista Support Contract
by Richard Laager Feb. 5, 2018

Feb. 5, 2018

MICE is responsible for the on-going support contract costs for the main Arista switch. This was factored into the design of the port fees. We have received quotes from Arista. As is customary, the three-year price is cheaper per year than the one-year price. The savings is non-trivial, especially relative to our annual revenue, so I think it would be wise to purchase the three-year contract. The three-year contract cost is more than our current cash balance. After we collect this year's port fees, we will be able to cover it while keeping a reasonable reserve. However, we need to do something sooner, as it needs to be renewed this month. Fortunately, Arista has offered to let us split the order in two halves to avoid us drawing the bank balance too close to zero. Does the membership have any input they'd like to provide the board in this matter? -- Richard

Hey MICE members. I see that last night MICE hit 233 Gig In & Out!! Is this a new peak for the exchange? State of the Union I suspect. Mike Mike Hemphill ColoConnect 612-812-5242 mikeh(a)ColoConnect.net<mailto:mikeh@ColoConnect.net> http://www.ColoConnect.net/ [cid:image003.jpg@01D39A8B.DB245780]

Yahoo IPv4 prefix count limits tripped this morning
by Frank Bulk Jan. 25, 2018

Jan. 25, 2018

Our IPv4 prefix count limits for two peering sessions with Yahoo (now Oath) tripped this morning around 3:04 and 3:11, respectively. They went from being under 163 to 219, at least a 30% increase. Just curious, are they doing some consolidation? The graph at bgp.he.net suggests that they've been at the 219 level for some months, so perhaps these are some prefixes that are only just now are showing up at MICE? Frank

Akamai bounce and graph
by Frank Bulk Jan. 18, 2018

Jan. 18, 2018

We saw our peering session with Akamai bounce around 9:10 am - anyone else? Jan 18 09:11:30 192.168.0.85 BGP: Peer 206.108.255.84 UP (ESTABLISHED) Jan 18 09:11:38 192.168.0.85 BGP: Peer 2001:504:27::51cc:0:1 UP (ESTABLISHED) And for some reason Akamai's Cacti graph doesn't show up in the Arista -> Traffic section. Is that opaque on purpose? I ask because when I click through it says "ACCESS DENIED" (in red =) ). Frank AS53347

Re: UG 27 / MTA

I can't make Wed after the show, I have to run out back to NY.

Ideally, we would have someone sit there to talk about MICE with anyone interested.

I'm happy to sit there, but our UG 27 meeting is currently scheduled for Monday at 3:00, which pretty much shoots the whole Monday timeslot. At best, I could setup some things on the table and then rush to 511 for the UG meeting. One option is to move the UG meeting to Tuesday, March 27 at 3:00. This would allow me (and/or anyone else interested) to sit at the MICE table on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. On the other hand, if someone was planning on attending both MTA and UG 27, it seems like this would create a conflict. Another option would be to leave the meeting as is, and have someone else (who would skip the UG meeting) volunteer to sit at the table on Monday. A third option would be to reschedule the UG meeting to Wednesday, after MTA concludes. How do you feel about these options? Any other suggestions? -- Richard
