The MIXP has two route servers aka route reflectors. When a participant
peers with the route server, No traffic will be exchanged with the route
servers themselves, or their ASN. They just facilitate the exchange of
BGP updates.
We highly recommend that you set up session to either one to enable
prefixes and traffic exchange from any other participant who also has a
session to the route server, if your peering policy is open.
Please set up sessions to the following:
Route Server 1:
ASN: 37324
IPv4 Neighbour: 196.223.0.201
IPv6 Neighbour: 2001:43f8:270:d0d0::201
Route Server 2:
ASN: 37324
IPv4 Neighbour: 196.223.0.202
IPv6 Neighbour: 2001:43f8:270:d0d0::202
Route-collector/looking-glass service: Peering to this will never result
in any traffic exchange. This is meant purely for troubleshooting and
statistical purposes.
Peering sessions to the route collector server are publicly viewable
here: https://lg.mixp.org/
We strongly request you to set up a session for both IPv4 and IPv6, it
does not share any of your routes to anyone else nor provide you any
routing or traffic.
You are encouraged to keep the configuration and filters on this session
identical to your route-server and bilateral sessions, so that the
information in the looking glass is accurate.
Route Collector
ASN: 327821
IPv4: 196.223.0.199
IPv6: 2001:43f8:270:d0d0::199

Colleagues,
I have some good news from the tech team. We’ve recently received a
donation of two new servers from the Internet Society to help provide
additional services at the MIXP. We are now ready to incorporate these
into our setup, so that we can start serving you better.
To start, we will be using these to provide resiliency for the BGP route
server (BGP-RS) service that the MIXP provides. So, this weekend, we’re
going to move RS1 to one of the servers on the new cluster. We’re going
to use the time to do some system maintenance as well (new kernel
updates), so you will see a brief outage to your BGP-RS and BGP-RC
(route collector) sessions, whilst we reboot and upgrade these.
Of course we’ll do this carefully, and only one at a time, so no actual
traffic flow should be interrupted, even though you will see the BGP
sessions reset.
We have some other great tools that we will adding to our setup. More
on this to follow.
For now, please take note that during the time period 01h00 UTC on
Saturday 7 Nov you can expect to see the BGP sessions mentioned above
reset.
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please feel free to teach out
to the techical team via noc(a)mixp.org.
