I don't think MSP is a small market. MICE (by participants) is the 13th largest in the US and Cologix is packed with networks and ~57th globally.There is at least another order of magnitude of traffic on PNI links in the market vs MICE in MSP. The large CDN networks are doing terabits of traffic in MSP.On Fri, Apr 5, 2024 at 8:14 AM Dean Bahls <dean.bahls@fiberminnesota.com> wrote:Does anyone besides me think there is more to this than Minneapolis being a small market? Could they be enticed to the other peering core to solve this issue?

While 200G isn’t small to us, it is very small to them. That’s one middle size PNI peer for them in the Chicago market.
AS3128 was affected by the Google MICE IX depeering and while I didn’t like it, they did provide us an alternative in the Minneapolis area that we decided to decline.

What bothers me the most is Google has a habit of always saying that Minneapolis is a small market, and they cannot justify building out a node here. However every intermediate thing that they do fills to capacity shortly after they turn it up, so it definitely does not match their perception of the local market.

Ah yes, the “congratulations you qualify to spend your money to make our life easier” emails… know them well. :-)

I am glad this got re-raised for visibility. I apparently missed it. Thanks for the link to establish bilateral sessions.
It's hard to contemplate how Google still keeps their MICE pipes near-maxed 90% of the time, knowing that we can't be the only one that missed this change. I am sure Google has their reasons for not expanding their MICE capacity, although it seems strange to me in a vacuum.

Yes, in last fall’s meeting we reminded everyone that they needed to create bilateral sessions with Google right away if they hadn’t already done so.

I haven't heard this for MICE, but presumably they will be doing the same thing here?

Dear Internet Exchange,
As part of Google's effort to simplify peering operations and increase routing security we have decided to stop advertising and receiving prefix information from Route-Servers in Internet Exchanges. The BGP session with the route servers will remain established. We are planning to implement the change in your IX in the next few weeks.
We won’t disconnect from the IX and we will keep current BGP bilateral sessions with individual peers on the IX. We invite other networks that rely on Route-Servers to request a bilateral session. Bilateral session request can be done at: https://isp.google.com/iwantpeering
We kindly request you to inform peers in your Internet Exchange of these future changes so they can request bilateral sessions with us if they desire to do so.
Sincerely,
Google Network Operations
