International MPLS VPN recommendation
by Naslund, Steve 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hi, I am looking for some recommendations of carriers to talk to for MPLS VPN connections in the 1 - 10 mbps range between the following areas. Germany, France, United States, China, Japan, Australia, and India. For now I am just looking for carriers known to be good in terms of price/performance and ability to execute. Please feel free to contact me off list or on the list if you think that would be useful to anyone else here. Who's your favorite?

Predicting TCP throughput
by Glen Kent 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hi, I am looking at deterministic ways (perhaps employing data science) to predict TCP throughput that i can expect between two end points. I am using the latency (RTT) and the packet loss as the parameters. Is there anything else that i can use to predict the throughput? A related question to this is; If i see an RTT of 150ms and packet loss of 0.01% between points A and B and the maximum throughput then between these as, say 250Mbps. Then can i say that i will *always* get the same (or in a close ballpark) throughput not matter what time of the day i run these tests. My points A and B can be virtual machines spawned on two different data centers, say Amazon Virgina and Amazon Tokyo? So we're talking about long distances here. What else besides the RTT and packet loss can affect my TCP throughput between two end points. I am assuming that the effects of a virtual machine overload would have direct bearing on the RTT and packet loss, and hence should cancel out. What i mean by this is that even if a VM is busy, then that might induce larger losses and increased RTT, and that would affect my TCP throughput. But then i already know what TCP throughput i get when i have a given RTT and loss, and hence should be able to predict it. Is there something that i am missing here? Thanks, Glen

SAS Drive Enclosure
by Graham Johnston 27 May '15

27 May '15

I am looking for information about SAS drive enclosures, is there a list like NANOG that covers that area of IT? I am specifically looking for an enclosure that can handle 12 or more drives, I am looking to create a clustered file system between multiple servers and would like to avoid a drive enclosure that only works with a very small number of approved drives. I am looking to support traditional HDDs as well as SSDs. Thanks, Graham Johnston Network Planner Westman Communications Group 204.717.2829 johnstong(a)westmancom.com<mailto:johnstong@westmancom.com> P think green; don't print this email.

Indy Telcom Center
by Mike Hammett 27 May '15

27 May '15

Can anyone here tell a bit of a history on the Indy Telcom Center? What operators (network and datacenter) have occupied what properties over the years? There's about a dozen buildings that were all railroad related in the past. You can see abandoned tracks running through the property at different places. http://www.indytelcom.com/IndyTelcom%20Property%20Map.pdf For instance, At one point Avaya's name was attached to 740 W. Henry. I think it was through an acquisition that they did. The last name attached to that property appears to have been Zenality, but they appear dead. There didn't appear to be any activity (air conditioners, etc.) from the building the last time I was there. 730 W. Henry shows up in Google as SP Telcom. I think I saw a Verizon logo on the door when I was last there, but I didn't document it to be sure. 701 W. Henry is now 365 Datacenters, but was Equinix. Being Equinix and not in a major market, I assume it was a Switch and Data property. Not sure what else has or does operate out of there. 733 W. Henry is LifeLine DataCenter and seems to have been for quite some time. We've got a presence there. 731 W. Henry is Lightbound datacenter. I think they have another one as well on the NE side of the campus. Are 650 W. Henry and 550 S. Kentucky the same building? 710 S. Kentucky seems to now be an AT&T MSC, but not sure whose it was originally. 720 S. Kentucky, WilTel POP? 800 Oliver seems to be under a few hats including Paragon and GAP. Not sure what's going on there. Some of the remaining buildings are other datacenters or carrier POPs, but I have less on them. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com
