The great thing about being a free IXP that refuses to suggest how much networks should contribute for their port, is that networks can get creative when their port fees come due.

Another sales email from Cogent trying to sell transit to an IXP. Another day spent trying to waste as much of their time as possible.

It feels so empty without the 6500! Bright side, so much more room for activities and cache appliances.

I think the busy busy SF Internet Exchange minions left us some presents from their recent work party. ❤️

Apologies for the port bounces tonight. We managed to find a TCAM bank limitation on the Trident+ platform that 2/3 of our peering fabric runs on, so when we tried to add an additional rule to our peering port ACLs it bounced every interface on the switch.

Can we burn every Equinix facility to the ground yet? Asking for a whole lot of friends and the good of the Internet. equinix.com/www/resources/…

Don't just rely on the route servers on an IXP! You should set up direct peering sessions with the specific networks of value to you on an IXP. fcix.net/whitepaper/202…

Not to brag, because that would be bad optics, but we got our latest order of FLEXOPTIX, which are very good optics.

Got optics installed for all the cages left in FMT2. It's going to be a full house again soon.

Our route server hypervisor is currently having some issues. We're working on it, but I hope you have direct peering sessions where it matters!

October 29, 1969 – on this date 52 years ago, the first ever computer to computer link was established on the ARPANET. UCLA sent characters 'l' and 'o' to Stanford University (this was the entire Internet in 1969)

Coming soon... More capacity for Bits.

Since an Internet Exchange tends to be a bandwidth rich environment, we figured that FCIX would be a good sponsor for an open source software mirror! mirror.fcix.net

.John Hawley wanted graphs. So we got graphs. mirror.fcix.net is churning along.

Mirror.fcix.net "griffin1" takes its rightful place in the Fremont Cabal Internet Exchange rack right below the Google Global Cache.

If you're at NANOG this week, look for Kenneth @[email protected] if you want an FCIX sticker.
