Side note, they don’t support any traffic engineer aside from prepends but no 
complaints Besides that.

You don't appear to be on any IXes. Definitely join some IXes before buying 
another 100G of transit.

DFW has a couple and there are some more that are starting up.

Do y’all like HE for Internet uplink?  I’m thinking about using them for 100gig 
in Texas.  It would be for my eyeballs ISP.  We currently have Spectrum, Telia 
and Cogent.

Re: Elephant in the room - Akamai

[craig washington]

I don't have any insight but can confirm I am seeing the same thing. (Traffic 
shift back onto transit links)
They did tell me they were having some bandwidth issues and are working on it.
I am currently awaiting a direct PNI with them but haven't heard from them in 
some time.

Lets talk Akamai

They have shifted 90% of their traffic off IXs and onto our full route DIA, 
anyone else seeing this issue or have insight as to what is going on over 
there?  We have been asking for help on resolution for weeks and all we get is 
we are working on it and now we get no response.  We were even sent an LOA and 
when the DC went to go put in the x-connect their patch panel was full.  How do 
they not know if they have ports open or not?  I have even reached out to an 
engineer who is on this list and he does not even respond.

The last two nights the traffic levels to them has skyrocketed as well.

Any insight?

Agree with this  
Traffic engineering is non existent making it a pain to move your traffic

Hulu Peering

[craig washington]

Hey all,


Just wondering if anyone peers with Hulu at any public exchange.

I don't see anything on them in the peeringdb or anything that stands out from 
a google search besides it looks like they may be doing something with Equinix.


Thanks

BGP next-hop self benefits

[craig washington]

Hello everyone,


Question, what are the true benefits to using the next-hop self feature, 
doesn't matter what vendor.

Most information I see is just to make sure you have reach-ability for external 
routes via IBGP, but what if all your IBGP knows the eBGP links?

Is there a added benefit to using next hop self in this situation?


Any feedback is much appreciated, either for the question specifically or 
whatever else you got , L3VPN's or underlying technology that has to have that.


Thanks

Peering at public exchange authentication

[craig washington]

Hello all,


Wondering your views or common practices for using authentication via BGP at 
public exchange locations.

Just for example, lets say you peer with 5 people in the TELX in Atlanta, do 
you require them to all use authentication for the BGP session?

Ive seem some use it and some not use it, is it just a preference?

Regex expression

[craig washington]

Hello all, not sure if this is the right place for this.

I am not the best with Regex and was looking for an expression in a Juniper 
that will match on only so many numbers.

Meaning, I am looking at the mpls lsp statistics "show mpls lsp transit 
statistics" and I only want to see the LSP's that have larger Bytes, for 
instance I only want to see stuff that has at least 12 digits or longer.



Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if this is the wrong thing to ask 
here, I have no qualms with that either 


Thanks again.

Too many prepends = any more than you really need for what you're trying to 
accomplish. :)

I've cutoff paths as short as 4 to as long as 8 before in different jobs for 
different reasons.

Hello,


Newbie question, what criteria do you look for when you decide that you want to 
peer with someone or if you will accept peering with someone from an ISP point 
of view.


You didn't say what kind of 'peering'. That could mean over an IXP or to be 
directly connected. You do not need to be a member of an IX to peer.

There are at least three types of criteria to evaluate. Technical, business and 
legal.  Take a look here for a few ideas on technical and business criteria:

http://bit.ly/2ue2t0P

"Me too" with the rest of the thread. If peering serves your mutual interests 
(or just yours even), its an easy decision.

The Dr Peering http://drpeering.net/ website is also a resource for folks new 
to peering.
