[MIXP Announcement] Peer with the route servers and route collectors

by MIXP announcements

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 For any additional support, please contact peering(a)mixp.org MIXP technical volunteers -- Keessun Fokeerah MIXP team -- Mauritius Internet Exchange Point(MIXP) w: http://www.mixp.org/

[MIXP Announcement] AS112 live at MIXP!

by MIXP announcements

Dear All, AS112 live at MIXP! MIXP is now one of the multiple volunteer operators participating in the AS112 project. AS112 project aims at securing the DNS system. AS112 helps reduce the load on IANA blackhole servers by answering PTR queries for private IPv4 addresses. The AS112 project provides a large number of servers distributed across the world. This will reduce the load on DNS root servers and makes the DNS system more secure and robust against DNS DDoS attacks.

[MIXP Announcement] RPKI Validaiton on MIXP BGP Route Server

by MIXP announcements

Dear All, The MIXP team is pleased to announce that they have performed a significant overhaul, and upgrade of the BGP route server service at the MIXP. From the past weekend, the MIXP BGP route server service now does RPKI validation, and drops those network prefixes that have an RPKI state of "Invalid". Along with completely automated IRRDB based filtering, this helps to secure users of the service against accidental Internet route leaks, and brings the operations of the MIXP Service, in line with international best practices. To facilitate debugging, peers also have access to an easy to interpret mechanism for discovering which prefixes are filtered and the reason(s) for this. Peers with an open peering policy are encouraged to setup BGP session with the BGP route servers; we strongly advise peering with *both* route servers for resiliency. The MIXP team is certain that this positive step contributes to a safer, and more stable internetworking community in Mauritius. Questions and/or comments should be sent to noc(a)mixp.org You can 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.
