Having been in this industry for over 35 years this is just crazy? Nobody does maintenance during the day? If you are worried about impact, shut down *your* MICE peering sessions to affected parties before the maintenance starts. I would suggest that perhaps we look into filtering BGP (tcp/179) with an ACL prior to maintenance start on those specific ports being moved. Many other IXs are doing this for maintenance as a way to gracefully take things down, and let bilateral and RS sessions time out without killing active traffic. As we've noticed, not all members being moved are bothering to shut down sessions prior, which causes impact to/from those members. (i.e.: https://ripe67.ripe.net/presentations/374-WH-IXPMaintReduce.pdf) A small minority of members are also doing BFD which can lessen impact here. If your gear supports it, I'd suggest looking into as a way to minimize impact of things like this. > Yesterday's maintenance caused our switch to have problems and we were not even part of the move?? You're on the Mankato remote switch. That was listed in the maintenance notification as being affected. > Is MICE issuing credits for outages?? Surely, you're joking, right? -- As an aside, thanks Jeremy for doing all this move work, it's not a small effort and definitely appreciated. > > -----Original Message----- > From: MICE Discuss [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jeremy Lumby > Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 1:20 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] Arista Round 3 Moves > > The maintenance is now starting > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy Lumby [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2017 6:03 PM > To: MICE Discuss > Subject: Arista Round 3 Moves > > I am planning on doing round 3 of moves to the Arista switch on the afternoon of 4/25/17 beginning at 1PM.

Please leave the interface up so that we can test link, as well as the ability to ping the interface IP.
