There was discussion on NANOG today about Akamai usage spiking because of Apple iOS updates. I tried to find the graph on MICE's Cacti page to see if it saw the same spike, but if it's there I couldn't find it. Can someone point it out to me?

I don't think the MICE Akamai is ready to go yet. http://micelg.usinternet.com/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=107&... Seems pretty lonely there at 10kbps. (I confirmed that this port is the MAC that we're feeding the Akamai BGP session down to, so I'm pretty sure the documentation is correct), and a port monitor shows traffic at the same levels the graph is doing. FWIW: Our own (ipHouse) Akamai cluster saw about a five-fold increase in traffic over normal peak levels starting just before 13:00 CDT (when Apple let loose the gates). Not quite the same levels as the poster in NANOG. You could also look at the GigaPop 10G feed and see increased traffic tonight.. http://micelg.usinternet.com/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=148&... That traffic is mostly the U of MN's Akamai cluster IIRC. Looks like some peak usage tonight, although not so much of a blip during the daytime. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> -- ipHouse/Goldengate/Bitstream/ProNS -- Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

That's correct, Akamai hasn't put the MICE cluster in service. We need a blessing from inspector 12 and I think they have a scheduled window when they bring them in service. Marty, any idea on schedule for activation?

Is the Akamai cluster at MICE going to have any different content than the one at U of M? Mike Wilker Chief Technical Officer Jaguar Communications 507-214-0259 mwilker@jagcom.net On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 12:06 AM, Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> wrote:

The precise answer is probably yes, they will be two different nodes and will probably have somewhat different demand and therefore different cache profiles. But, it is my understanding that they will be more or less equivalent and have more or less access to the same content, so functionally they should be equivalent. FYI, the traffic profile you receive may change a little as the University's node is a bit over loaded right now especially during daytime hours. So, you may receive mor traffic once the MICE node comes online. -- =============================================== David Farmer Email:farmer@umn.edu Networking & Telecommunication Services Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952 =============================================== On Oct 13, 2011, at 14:59, Mike Wilker <mwilker@JAGCOM.NET> wrote:
