MICE Route Server Max Prefix
We, like SeattleIX, recommend that everyone increase their MICE route server max prefix settings: IPv4: 250,000 prefixes IPv6: 150,000 prefixes -- Richard Laager Chief Manager, Director Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange LLC
Thank you, Richard, for already updating the values in the PeeringDB record! 😉 https://www.peeringdb.com/net/11380 For those interested in outsourcing keeping track of this to a computer rather than a meatbag, extracting the values via the PeeringDB API is straightforward: curl -sH \ "Authorization: Api-Key $YOUR_PDB_API_KEY" \ "https://www.peeringdb.com/api /net?asn__in=53679" \ | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.asn) \(.info_prefixes4) \(.info_prefixes6)"' Which outputs: 53679 250000 150000 You can modify the value of ?asn__in for multiple ASNs in one call, e.g., for MICE and SeattleIX respectively: ?asn__in=53679,33108 will return: 33108 250000 100000 53679 250000 150000 Hmm. Looks like SIX needs to update the IPv6 value in PDB! <g> Finally, I have a couple of simple python scripts for working with the PDB API. If anybody would like these, help with creating a PDB API key, or really anything PDB-operationally, ping me off-list and I'll be happy to help.
