We are excited to announce that the next set of links in the intercap project are pending turn up.
If all goes to plan, the new links will be up within the next month before the network embargo.
Due to increased demand IAA has increased cache capacity in two major capital cities. We have added an additional 60Gbps of Netflix OCA capacity in Melbourne, and an additional 40Gbps in Brisbane.
The new Facebook caches in Brisbane and Perth are currently being commissioned by Facebook and will be available in the coming months.
One item that caught our eye last month was NBN Co’s confusing announcement that the CVC boost will be phased out. This will be coupled with new pricing and a new wholesale agreement. We are still in the process of unpicking what this all means, and it seems NBN Co isn’t quite sure what it all means either. Either way, we welcome member thoughts on this as we will be actively engaging in the next round of consultations over this with a view to getting clarity and improvement in the pricing and services.
IAA will be implementing a change freeze on services between 23rd December 2020 and 10th January 2021 inclusive. During this time services will not be added or removed. Support staff will be on call to deal with urgent issues. Please remember all orders and change requests need to be received by December 11th, 2020.
IAA will be increasing Melbourne’s cache capacity by an additional 100G for Netflix and Google caches in November. Members are reminded that the Facebook cache is an opt in service, but all other cache capacity will be available immediately.
We are in the process of building additional mirror servers and are open to suggestions for content! Is there any content you would like us to mirror? Do you prefer cat videos or linux distros? Let us know! Email our team on peering@internet.asn.au
It’s nearly that time of year again. IAA will be implementing a change freeze on services between 23rd December 2020 and 10th January 2021 inclusive. During this time services will not be added or removed. Support staff will be on call to deal with urgent issues, so members should rest assured that all IXes will be properly tended. We will be accepting orders and change requests up until 11th December for actioning before 22nd December 2020.
Get your orders in by Friday 11th December to avoid disappointment or congestion over the new year when you get your new toys.
IAA welcomes the new 100Gbps Facebook cache in Victoria. Members who want to receive Facebook content in these exchanges, please ensure your PeeringDB record is up-to-date and reach out to Facebook to setup a bilateral BGP session.
We are working currently to activate caches in Qld and WA and will advise members once they are available.
Information about Facebook’s peering policies and contacts appear in their PeeringDB record.
IAA’s recent audit of the RPKI status of the prefixes advertised over the exchanges found a number of invalid advertisements from member peering sessions.
We have now notified all members affected by this and as per our timetable outlined in last month’s newsletter item, we will begin dropping prefixes with invalid RPKI status, starting from September 1, 2020.
If you need further assistance with any routes that have been flagged as invalid or would like more information regarding our RPKI deployment, email peering@internet.asn.au
