SwissIX: 10Gig Plattform now active
by Fredy Kuenzler 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Dear all, SwissIX finally reached the summit: the 10Gig ports on the new RX-8 plattform of Foundry Networks (sponsored by SWITCH and Init7) are now active. Please see the press release below and maybe my blog entry too: http://www.blogg.ch/index.php?/archives/738-SwissIX-goes-10Gig.html (all German, sorry). If you consider to upgrade to 10Gig too, here are the conditions. 10Gig ports remain free of recurring charges, however, as hardware is expensive, we have to charge one-time fees to cover the costs of future expansion. 10Gig SR (Multimode) = CHF 12000.00 (one time) 10Gig LR (Singlemode) = CHF 13500.00 (one time) (note that the required cabling is on participants expense) Currently 10Gig is available at Equinix 1 (also known as Telehouse Zurich, Hardstrasse 235). We are preparing InterXion Glattbrugg too as soon as possible, but we require some more funding at this point. If you are considering to join SwissIX with 100M or 1Gig, please follow this proceudure: http://www.swissix.ch/how_to_get_connected.php Happy Peering! Fredy Künzler SwissIX President http://www.swissix.ch/ Medienmitteilung SwissIX vom 9. April 2008 ------------------------------------------ SwissIX - Swiss Internet Exchange - eine distributed Peering Plattform für Internet Service Provider, Carrier, Content Anbieter und Enterprise Netzwerke ist neu mit einer 10-Gigabit Plattform ausgerüstet. Damit ist SwissIX mit der schweizweit grössten Zahl an partizipierenden Netzwerken gerüstet für die Zukunft. Applikationen wie Online-TV und Video-Downloads verlangen nach immer grösseren Bandbreiten, und diese Anforderungen gehen auch an Internet Exchanges nicht spurlos vorbei. Waren vor 3 Jahren 1-Gigabit-Ports noch eher die Ausnahme, sind heute 10-Gigabit-Anschlüsse schon bald Standard, und es ist bezeichnend, dass der IP-TV Anbieter Zattoo einer der ersten drei Teilnehmer ist, die neu mit 10 Gigabit an die Peering-Plattform angeschlossen sind. Dank grosszügigem Sponsoring im Wert von mehreren 10'000 Franken vom Hochschulnetz SWITCH und dem Business- und Wholesale-Internet Serviceprovider Init7 konnte die State-of-the-Art Peering-Infrastruktur von Foundry Networks beschafft werden. SwissIX ist, im Gegensatz zu anderen Internet Exchanges, ein Non-Profit Projekt und wird vom Verein "SwissIX Internet Exchange" betrieben. Finanziert wird SwissIX, abgesehen von Mitgliederbeiträgen, komplett durch Sachsponsorings. Der Betrieb erfolgt durch ehrenamtliches Engagement qualifizierter Techniker der Schweizer Internet-Community, und der Anschluss an SwissIX verursacht keinen wiederkehrenden Kosten für die Teilnehmer.

For about 420.- CHF you will get a little box capable with 4 sensors which are accesable via SNMP. If you need more than that, you will ether need a serious appliance or do it yourself. If you decide to DIY, RS232 is your friend. With solutions like this: http://www.phanderson.com/ you could monitor almost unlimited number of temperature and humidity positions but BE CAREFUL with the bus length, we have run into some serious issues near high powered cables. You can also easily monitor any kind of relays based sensors just by connecting the RX and TX of RS232 to relays ends and periodically checking port for echos, this way stuff like reading out smoke detectors with relays modules or "water sensor" (2 naked cables separated by paper) are peanuts to do. It is also possible to check for airflow this way, you could construct the little relays which bends over and connects while airflow is present and opens up when it is not. This needs a space with STRONG airflow to be consistent though. A/C voltage is an interesting one, I was looking for a while for some kind of "energy meter" which would allow readout of info via RS232, so we could measure real power consumption vs load ratio but I could not find any. Easiest way to do this stuff is to read out UPS ratios, most "smart" UPSes support that in one or another way. You can read all info and present it via SNMP for later analysis, we use net-snmp with embeded perl, I can send you sample of our module if you wish, it is fairly simple. I would be very interested by ideas regarding detailed airflow readout, it was always interesting me but I could not find any easy solution, only those big "weather stations" which I could not install into any of out airpipes.

Environnemental monitoring
by Olivier Beytrison 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi SwiNOGers ! We're looking here in my company to do some extra environmental monitoring. We're mainly looking for some temperature, air flow and AC voltage monitoring. We don't really want to invest in expensive solutions like APC's one, or Rittal. The sensorProbe products (from either AKCP or BlackBox) are quite interesting. And you, what do you have in your datacenters ? Any hints to some other good products ? Have a nice day! -olivier -- Olivier Beytrison Network & Security Engineer, HES-SO Fribourg Mobile: +41 (0)78 619 73 53 Mail: olivier(a)heliosnet.org

Latency problems to Lambdanet?
by Benoit Panizzon 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Good morning We have a few gamers among our customers. They complain that they have latency problems to their favourite gameservers hosted @ lambdanet: 79.133.42.114 78.143.13.126 193.192.58.122 So I put the customer and those servers in our smokeping tool. They show the problem is not on the customer side, but on the server side. Latency to all of those game servers increases to 60ms every evening. So I also put the lanbdanet router ip into smokeping. Same problem there. Peering is via TIX - no problem with the bandwidth usage. Those gamers pretend the latency problem only occurs from our network and not from others like bluewin. Do others also experience latency problems to lambdanet in the evenings?
