Re: Infomart Dallas is on generator

[Kaiser, Erich]

>From the latest update it sounds like rolling power outages in Dallas as
most places in Texas (We have several other sites affected as well) so they
probably figure to just leave everything on generator (All Equinix DCs, not
sure on others) for more stable power.  I just got an update that refueling
trucks coming tomorrow at 10am.

Re: Hurricane Electric AS6939

[Kaiser, Erich]

Depending on peer traffic, it may make more sense to co-locate a switch at
a DC and then bring in some PNIs from your top usage peers.  Check your
peer usage using something like AS-Stats.

Your top usage peers are going to be your most costly expense in the end...

[Kaiser, Erich]

Telia has redundancy in Austin but if you are on an unprotected wave back
to Dallas you will not be redundant.  We have an outage with them as well
between Dallas and Austin same issue as yourself and others have stated.

Google peering pains in Dallas

[Kaiser, Erich]

So it has been 3 weeks of major ICMP packet loss to any google service over
the Dallas Equinix IX, it is not affecting performance of service but is
affecting us with customer complaints and service calls due to some
software using it for monitoring purposes people using it for benchmark
testing.  I have been told from them that they know the cause now and know
that a Large ISP on the IX is causing the issue(Hmm wonder who that is...),
so why do they not shutdown the peer with them and force the ISP to fix the
issue?  This issue is affecting everyone on the IX not just us, very very
frustrating.  Hopefully this will reach someone over there that can do
something about it.

Re: Backhoe season?

The outages in Texas are not uncommon at all. Its probably the worst vs
other areas of the country.  One other problem area is between Ashburn and
Atlanta.  We have been seeing more underlying LH carrier equipment
failures  vs fiber cuts in the last year.

Re: Hi-Rise Building Fiber Suggestions

I would use single fiber CWDM muxing and OADM, then you can get it down to
7-8 switches per fiber.  CWDM single fiber has a max of 9 channels and the
optics are typically less expensive.

[Kaiser, Erich]

We are seeing about 79% currently that is with one of our new Akamai PNIs
in CHI and we peer at most major IXs across the US.

Top 5 peers Netflix, Google, Akamai, Amazon and EdgeCast. (In order)

Re: akamai yesterday - what in the world was that

[Kaiser, Erich]

Except the CDN providing the content did not anticipate this type of influx
(How come I am not sure probably more concerned about new business revenue
and not thinking about the backend infrastructure) and has pushed over
costly peers for most of us.  BTW, we are still waiting for our PNIs with
them.Very frustrating...

They have changed their policies from what I can tell.  It was easier to

Yes inbound.  The patterns are not typical, we are talking gigs of traffic

Elephant in the room - Akamai

[Kaiser, Erich]

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?

Re: AT starting to charge for RFOs on ASE tail circuits?

[Kaiser, Erich]

Yes we have seen that response in the past on RFOs.  Most of these random
outages are maintenance for moving fiber due to construction and they do
not tell you when it is going to happen, we have been complaining about
this for the past year to them.Every other carrier issues a maintenance
notification (most of the time), for some reason they do not feel it is
necessary and blame the ASE product.

We are now a gold status customers so the support has gotten better.  We
are 2 months into it so we will see long term how it will work out.

Dealing with them has been frustrating for sure...

Re: Juniper BGP Convergence Time

[Kaiser, Erich]

A last resort route (default route) could still be good to take from your
ISP(s) even if you still do full routes, as the propagation is happening on
the internet side, you should at least have a path inbound through the
other provider.  The default route at least would send the traffic out if
it does not see the route locally.  Just an idea.

Re: Juniper BGP Convergence Time

[Kaiser, Erich]

 Do you need full routes?  What about just a default route from BGP?

Microsoft peering - no response

[Kaiser, Erich]

We have been trying to complete our peering with Microsoft at Equinix
Ashburn for over a month, keep getting the run-around, all we need is for
someone to complete the sessions on their end.  Hopefully this will get to
someone that can do that.  We are peered at several other IX locations
across the US already.  Our ASN is 19754.  Our side is already complete.

Just sent another email to peering_at_microsoft and got an undeliverable
email response.

Re: Telia network quality

[Kaiser, Erich]

I would say that information is not 100% accurate.  We use Telia for waves
nationwide and also have several DIA ingest(transit) points from them.  If
anything, the IRU carriers they are using may have a problem sometimes due
to fiber cuts, but that is why you build redundant paths.

They are very ontop of the ball when one of the waves goes down.  We
actually don't utilize a ton of their transit due to the nature of our
network design, because we are  connected to all of the major IXs.

Re: Zayo Extortion

In response to the original email they do do this I have experienced it
myself it is usually because of billing issues that they don't know how to
resolve.  It's complete BS worse than dealing with att.
