We don't use any private transport between locations. All transit and peering.
Colocrossing? LimelightNetwork?
Level3 is a tier1 network carrier and Limelight is a tier 2 (I think?). We are a hosting company so it's not really the same thing. We mesh multiple networks together and sell hosting, transit, etc.
there's something missing there, I don't know if the point 6, or something about 6... I don't remember well :P
I see and what are the MX480s replacing? Are these the MX480s that arrived in October?

It seems 'coming weeks' turned into six months! Did you have issues with them?

Great job on your operation.
We changed plans on when/where to install them. We recently installed a small 20 cabinet infrastructure cage at Equinix/365 and put the new MX480s there. All of the carriers in Buffalo are in that space so it makes it easier for us to connect to carriers and peering options.
The core, edge and distribution is Juniper now. Before we used a mix of Cisco and Juniper and were not taking full tables in Buffalo.
How are you finding your move to full Juniper? Have you typically been a Cisco house in the past?
dunno, dunno.
But most interesting part, is the limelight network used for porn videos CDN:) lol
Congrats, btw!
Juniper has a better product at the edge and core then Cisco in my opinion, and is also the opinion of those smarter then me.
You would know.
Personally as someone who isn't a networking guru but I much prefer JunOS to IOS. Imo it's simpler and more logical, could just be me though.
Now when is IPv6 coming? I seem to remember you saying it was actually going to come soon after the upgrades in Buffalo.
No question JunOS is superior. IOS just feels ancient and the Nexus platform is blah.
@sysadmin can speak on the IPv6 question.
IPv6 will happen when we can finish updating all of our automation tools to support it, and we can guarantee that the experience we provide on IPv4 will be the same on IPv6. It's easy to deploy v6 when you have a few servers, but it's not that easy to go from zero to full production on thousands of servers in a bunch of different networks.
I won't give an ETA because they tend to not be met when it comes to v6.
How long do you think it might take to get IPv6 in place?
When the project is green lighted it will take a couple weeks to roll it out.
XO is said to be rubbish in WHT
Big kesh.
That's WHT and rumors. It's not. People just bag them out, like they bag Cogent out or anyone else that's the birthday boy today.
XO has some great routes, but bad ones too. Like all carriers. I wouldn't get XO for the pricing, but ignoring that it's not SO bad.
We've seen a few great routes from XO via our Internap transit.
