RE: Speed-IX technical update

Hello Sergey, At this moment we ( Critical Core / AS49033 ) are connected via DCSPINE on the SpeedIX network and would like to migrate that connection from DCSPINE to a direct connection on Nikhef. Can you please assist us with this? My collegue Diego Klinkhamer ( in CC ) is in charge of this project.

With this email, I will inform you about a large number of changes and improvements that have been made for the Speed-IX network in the past weeks. We worked hard to upgrade network capacity and improve stability so we can keep adding new members in the upcoming years. Although my team made a large number of changes, the main improvements are: - Four of our main Speed-IX PoPs at Nikhef, GlobalSwitch, Serverius DC1, and Serverius DC2 were upgraded with brand new 100G switches. Those switches are in use for backbone interconnections and new members with 100G ports. - A new PoP in the Equinix AM7 has been launched and is ready for the new members. - In another rack at Nikhef, a second PoP is created and is ready for new members. The current one was completely filled by switches and fibers. - All Speed-IX backbone interconnections were upgraded from different bunches of 10G links to multiple 100G tunks. It's done which our new ADVA Teraflex muxponders which does for us 6x100G channels in every single DWDM channel. Now all Speed-IX PoP are redundantly connected by it. - Regretfully with should inform you that during these WDM changes we got two short-time network interruptions. The first time it was at 15:25 of 24.09.2020 and the second time at 19:35 of 29.09.2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. At this moment all potential service-affected maintenances are finished and therefore no network interruptions are expected. Please enable your BGP sessions with Router servers if you disabled it during the problems. For your information, in our route map for improving Speed-IX are: - Updates the client's portal to a new major release with a new design and new functions. - Updating our router servers from Bird 1.6.3 to 2.0.7 - RPKI implementation at both route servers in addition to current IRR filtering - enabling sFlow collectors for providing you with statistics about most common peers and established private BGP sessions. Stay tuned, be healthy, and ask your friends to support the free SpeedIX peering community. Yours sincerely, Sergey Petukhin.
