Hello everyone,
Hope that you are all doing well.
Thanks for the Peering Roadshow held beginning of July, which has been very beneficial for everyone.
· Thanks Keessun and Nishal for the slides/presentations and Telegram Group created
As per meetings held with all parties since a few months ago, we have seen the following (To be discussed by the Steering Committee):
· MIXP Hosting
o We had the same idea as Rogers Capital to extend/move the MIXP from GOC to our Datacentre
o Advantages being
§ 24/7 access by the community, as there will always be someone present on the spot
§ Majority(If not all) operators are already connected to our DataCentre
· Kaldera will facilitate internal wiring for all parties not yet connected at cost price
§ Kaldera is OK to freely provide Rack Hosting
· We have 3 different areas available in Cybertower 1/SABV Tower to move/extend the current location of the MIXP
§ Kaldera is also ok to freely provide equipments if needed
§ BICS may facilitate/help regarding International Connectivity as their POP is already in Kaldera’s DataCentre
o As seen with Ranveer, we may have the extension on both Rogers/Kaldera DataCentre to provide redundancy
§ It would be great to have this finalized before AFPIF event
· Steering Committee
o Since a few months ago, Kaldera already met individually MIXP members and they did not have any objection for Kaldera to take the lead on the MIXP to make things move
§ Florian of Kaldera would be happy to take the Presidency of the MIXP if voted by the community (Should the community decide to go forward with creating an association)
· As said on the Peering Roadshow, it’s the community who needs to decide together what is best for the MIXP
· We really want to make things move fast, and shall make a very close follow up
§ So it would be great to be able to have a vote regarding all actions to be performed for the MIXP (Current location, future location, hosting, equipments, etc…)
§ We are very happy to help creating regular meetings (Similar to the Durban IXP presented by PCH)
· UOM and GOC were happy to share with me that the meetings would be better if done during Business Hour instead of after Office Hours, because of the Mauritian reality (Family/Children)
o I saw a note during the MIXP discussions that we want the MIXP to be as open as possible:
§ ----
§ i think this is a great idea; two small suggestions:
§ # the steering committee needs some guide of terms of references. i’m happy to provide the ToR that the INX management committee uses as a guideline, or, a more generic governance document that PCH provides as a base for you to start your own.
§ # the committee needs to be replaced every N number of years; i suggest something as simple as having a committee that is no fewer than three, and no more than seven, and renewing candidates every two years. again, i’m happy to explain in detail what we do at INX; and what we suggest as PCH. it’s really not rocket science ..
§
§ in the interests of being most useful to MU, i’d suggest that:
§ # direct stakeholders (peers) be permitted to vote, only
§ # you allow your steering/management committee to be as open as possible; if there is an IX expert in japan that wants to be involved, and is willing to commit the time, then, so be it. provided, of course, the peers vote for this person.
§
§ i suggest you get this done quickly; there are a few decisions that you need to make, and it’s best to have general community consensus when doing these.
§ ------
o We would therefore highly recommend Eric LOOS who is willing to help us as he is already involved in AMS-IX and Peering DB, and started an exchange STHIX in Stockholm
§ He was already invited last year to help making progress on the MIXP
§ He may perform live sessions/Video Conf on any Topic requested by the MIXP Community

§ See attached invitation “WorkshopInvitationAfPIF2019.pdf”
§ It would be great to have 2 persons from each organization(1 Management/1 Technical)
§ Can all those interested please respond back as soon as possible to confirm with Venue expected amount of places?

Dear All,
Thank you for the energy you are investing in making the MIXP attain new
possibilities.
I propose that we elect a steering committee for 2019 by:
1. Requesting for volunteers for the steering committee
2. MIXP Peers to vote for and elect the steering committee.
As mentioned during the roadshow, we want this to be done with the
community involvement.

if you have an open peering policy - like most of you do - then this is
almost a no-brainer. it means that you can get quickly and easily
peered with existing and new peers that you might have missed out.
which makes your peering more effective. which makes your network
better.
if you are super-lazy, it also means that you can then not have to worry
about setting up direct bilateral sessions and filtering your peers at
the MIXP, because the BGP-RS service that the IXP provides will do this.
i don’t encourage that, but, i do know that this has become a trend
globally..
one of the improvements that is being discussed and will likely get
implemented is the ability to look into the route filtering that the
BGP-RS does as well, so that you can see what is, and is not being used
by your peer networks.

imho, peering with the BGP-RC should be mandatory, since this is a
no-risk event, to the peering network, and the debugging opportunities
that it offers are fantastic! and consider that it’s also a great
marketing tool; any peer that is serious about connecting to your IX,
will ask for a dump of the potential routes (if they they won’t get
all) and the looking glass/route collector combination is the way to get
this.
here’s the looking glass now: https://lg.mixp.org.
if you are one of the networks who has a BGP session down, please fix
this.
if you know someone who works at a network who has a session down/not
advertising anything, can you have a word with them to fix this.
as i explained, if you are going to be serious about improving your
internet environment for investment, then it really does need to be a
group effort..
also, please take a minute to check that you are registered for a
peeringdb.com account, and that your network appears here, and that it
is listed as a MIXP peer:
https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/1508
if you have a marketing team - and you all do - then you know why
marketing is necessary.
well, this is *technical marketing*. that is needed when you want to
speak to peering co-ordinators at other networks. i can tell you that
if you don’t have an up-to-date peeringdb entry, no-one at afpif is
going to want to meet with you :-)
