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!
Changing later when the 2 new switches go into place.
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;
This will probably be happening.
4) Encourage MICE members on the 1Gig switch to upgrade to a 10Gig connection;
Don't see how that helps.
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.
That'd be silly. -- Mike Horwath ipHouse - Welcome home! drechsau@iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkeley Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
