IXP Renumbering: Equinix Miami (formerly known as NOTA)

Wed Oct 30 14:14:51 UTC 2019

It seems that many participants of the Equinix Miami Exchange (formerly
Nap of the Americas NOTA) are unaware of the required IP renumbering.
Init7 AS13030 sees at least 50% of the new BGP sessions still down.

While the usefulness of the replacement of the peering mesh /23 with
another /23 could be discussed, the process itself hasn't been
announced, at least we didn't became aware of it until recently, and
only because some peers asked for new sessions.

Equinix provided a website with the necessary information, but it seems
that they failed to announce it. Interestingly the schedule is already
overdue.

I would propose that some IXP operators should write a BCOP to avoid
future renumbering pain.
