BUM traffic issue on the IX earlier today
by Randy Epstein 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

Greetings FL-IX Members, A few members reached out that noticed a burst of traffic (~2.4G per member port it seems). A short while ago, while we were adding an additional port for a member, we started to see a large amount of BUM traffic across the IX, causing an issue for some members. We shut the port down fairly quickly and went about the turn-up differently as well as isolating it from the IX before returning them to production. That resolved the issue. We’re still investigating the root cause to determine what process should change so this doesn’t occur again. I apologize for this.

by Randy Epstein 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Greetings FL-IX Members, I’m happy to report that the maintenance has concluded successfully. We have moved all 100G members from core01.mia002 and the Arista 7504R is now officially retired. It was our last 7504 series switch between the two markets we service. It served us well. If you are still seeing any issues, please let us know at noc(a)fl-ix.net.

A smaller number of 100G members at Equinix-MI1 will see their BGP sessions drop. We will verify that all members traffic is drained before migrating your port to the new switch. This maintenance will conclude at or prior to 5am Eastern Time.

On Wednesday, July 31st, 2024 and Thursday, August 1st at 12:01am ET each morning, we will begin the migration of 100G members at that location. The migration will occur over two days and have a window of ~5 hours each morning, ending at 5:00am ET each day. For the duration of the maintenance, we will block BGP traffic only to those members affected by the migration as described in BCP 214. Sessions will re-establish after the maintenance has concluded each day. No action is required on your part. Members whose 100G ports are connected at Equinix-MI1 (50 NE 9th St, Miami) will be moved to one of the two new switches and will experience a brief loss of link as ports are migrated. In the event that you experience trouble after the completion of the migration, please contact the FL-IX NOC at noc(a)fl-ix.net.

When I came onsite tonight, I checked your port and it showed that we weren’t receiving light from you. I inserted a different optic on the new switch we needed to migrate you to and ran a new patch cable and I still don’t see light from you. Can you tell me what you’re seeing from us?
