I am pleased to announce that Edgeconnex Minneapolis has applied to be an extension node as per the rules we discussed at the last meeting. They will be providing us with the gear and connectivity to their site, and have promised to make a donation to the exchange as well. Does anyone have any objections to Edgeconnex being approved for an extension node? The board does not see an issue. Reid -- Reid Fishler Director Hurricane Electric +1-510-580-4178

I missed the last couple of meetings cause I suck. Are they going to be charging port fees to their side of the link customers? If so will that cause issues? -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau@Geeks.ORG

Marty- As with SIX, the node operates as an extension. The core switch/switches will remain in Cologix. Reid On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 2:56 PM, Hannigan, Martin <marty@akamai.com> wrote:

Marty- There is no reason at all to put a core node where there are no peers.If at some point the users wish to make any extension node a core node, that can be voted on. SIX does this successfully, there is no reason why we cannot as well. Reid On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 4:48 PM, Hannigan, Martin <marty@akamai.com> wrote:

It has been a long day so maybe I'm just not thinking clearly. But, what exactly is a "core" node in this context? Looking over the SIX page at: https://www.seattleix.net/topology.html I can't see how the Extension switches that are connected to their Arista switch are any different than their Extreme & Nexus switches that are in their "core". Is "core" determined by who owns it? who maintains it? number of connected hosts? "network-central" location? total bandwidth? spanning tree priority (!!!)? Is there some layer 3 routing in there somewhere? I'm confused! Please enlighten me!
Martin, Can you provide a specific, *actionable* proposal of what it is you'd like the exchange entity to do? For example: I want MICE LLC to create a second, separate and co-equal site at location X. By separate, I mean it would not be interconnected with the existing switches at 511. We need a switch with Y ports of 10 Gig, which will be provided by company Z. Companies A & B are also committed to peer there and I believe this meets the requirements for an IP allocation from ARIN. Or: I want MICE LLC to lease space and power at, and fibers from 511 to location X. That is, MICE is responsible for hauling traffic between sites. We need a switch with Y ports of 10 Gig. The revenue to pay for this will come from company Z for the first A years. Or: I want MICE LLC to lease space, power, and fibers from 511 to location X. That is, MICE is responsible for hauling traffic between sites. We need a switch with Y ports of 10 Gig. The revenue to pay for this will come from charging member and port fees in the amount of $A/year and $B/year. Or whatever it is that you're actually proposing. -- Richard

Suboptimal, unfortunately.
Marty, Could you clarify? If the switch is connected with plenty of bandwidth what difference does it make if we call it core or remote? Methinks the hardware is equivalent or at least on par with the core gear in this case. Jay

Yes, this is not fully optimal yet, I want to see at least a second core site eventually. However, given; 1. This is our first announced remote site. 2. There are other remote sites in the pipeline, I believe. 3. Finally, none of the remote sites are even operational yet. Therefore, I suggest we defer the issue of another core site until the remote site picture develops a little bit. At this point picking the correct facility for an additional core site is premature, we are more likely to pick wrong than right at this point. I'm happy to consider the issue when there are operational remote sites with more than 2 or 3 participants each.

Sounds better. Remember, SIX isn’t captured by the colo, MICE is for all intents and purposes. A second core should be a priority and help provide competitive pressure to make that less of an issue and provide real benefits for the members. Thanks for the vision. Appreciated. Best, -M<
They have the right to charge whatever they wish to charge, but they must maintain the performance on the link to the core. The program is based off of what SIX does. Reid On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 2:53 PM, Mike Horwath <drechsau@geeks.org> wrote:

When I operated a remote switch I charged some cost recovery fees on 10G ports. I'm not sure what CNS currently does. I don't think charging is a problem as if one of the remote switch operators isn't playing fair one can move their bits elsewhere. jay
Where’s Edgeconnex located at in MSP?
