Change of NOC

With 2013 coming up, the technical support undergoes a bit of change. France-IX starts relying on Border6 expertise to answer any level 1 requests 24/7.

This change will go smoothly as there will be no service cut.
The members can contact the new NOC per e-mail noc@franceix.net and through the webportal tools.franceix.net. The NOC replies to your requests within 15 minutes.

Information system development

France-IX is developing an information system whose first achievements are the automatically issuing of invoices and routes servers configuration, starting next month.

Although this process has no visible impact on the members, this system enhances the reliability of the routes servers’ configuration and eases the handling of invoices inside France-IX.

4 stars LIR

4 stars France-IX
Last 3rd and 4th of December France-IX participated in the LIR & IPv6 training program delivered by RIPE NCC in Paris.
Good news: France-IX is listed among the « happy few » LIRS to reach 4 stars (as several of our members www.ripeness.ripe.net).

Each star rates one of the following points :
  • Having an IPv6 address space allocation or assignment from the RIPE NCC
  • Visibility in the Routing Information Service (RIS)
  • Having a route6 object in the RIPE Database
  • Having a reverse DNS delegation set up
By the way the IPv6 traffic now reachs 300Mbps in average which still stands for a small part of the global exchanged traffic on the plateform. We conduce our members to activate their IPv6 session in 2013.

Online members’ list

The members list available on our website evolves. Until now only the physical port was shown. But France-IX offers middle-step solutions namely 100Mbps or 200Mbps on a 1000Mbps copper port or 1Gbps optical port and also 2Gbps on a 10Gbps port.
Therefore the list was updated to highlight the actual traffic done.

This information gets completed by the type of physical port mentioned in brackets.
