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. A small change, but another step along the path. MBIX is pleased that VOI Network Solutions, AS14866, has lit up a 1 Gbps copper connection to MBIX, and is now peering with the route servers on IPv4. The addition of ISP number 3 to MBIX brings the total AS count to 5. The peers page has the full list, as usual. MBIX now has its two route servers up and running on IPv4. We are still tweaking (as usual), but the route servers are operational. The service address for RS1 is 206.72.208.11, and RS2 is 206.72.208.12. They are implemented as BIRD running on Ubuntu, the hardware being used IBM 1U rackservers. We have two for redundancy, and also to allow orderly maintenance. Members peer with both route servers, allowing us to gracefully shut down one route server, while all routes are still announced by the other server, so MBIX stays 100% up. Any savvy reader might be wondering about IPv6. Not to worry, we are testing that configuration now. MBIX intends to be fully dual-stack, (IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously) but IPv4 was turned on first. MBIX welcomes Rainy Day, AS23523 as the second connected ISP network to MBIX. They follow Les.net, AS18451, who connected last week, but it we neglected to mention it. Both are connected via 1 Gbps fibre from their own nearby datacentres, using Les.net fibre. Testing of the route servers continue with these initial members, including AS112 and AS16395. We hope to have our redundant servers confirmed as operational shortly. For current status, check out the peers page, which has been brought up to date with latest new connections. |
