AS23523 peers at MBIX

Rainy Day, AS23523, has lit up a peering session with the route servers on IPv4. Routes are now visible, and traffic is beginning to flow. Our prior announcement of Rainy Day’s connection was a bit premature–they were physically connected but had not yet BGP.

MBIX adds second transit provider

As a part of MBIX operations, MBIX AS16395 has transit service. The primary purposes are for remote management of our systems, and for feeding the CDN caches present at the exchange.

Last night we added Les.net, AS18451 as a second IPv4 transit provider, in addition to AS23523, Rainy Day.

Core switch installed

Today we powered on the MBIX core switch for the first time, and booted it up. We don’t have remote access yet, but our hardware is installed and ready for use–as soon as more wiring in place. 🙂

Now we have equipment

Quick update. Our core ethernet switch has arrived, and is being installed now in our newly configured rack. We are now very close to turning on the exchange. Akamai now has hardware present at the exchange.
