So I'm looking at the policies, recommended configurations, etc. of other IXes. We try to model a lot of ourselves on what the Europeans do (even if we come up short in some areas). I was reading through the AMS-IX guide.
https://ams-ix.net/technical/specifications-descriptions/config-guide#3.1 They recommend a four hour ARP timeout. Thoughts? Seems a bit excessive, but I don't have over 700 networks on my IX. That said, I don't have over 700 members on my IX generating a ton of ARP traffic, so I'm probably fine recommending a smaller value. I understand it's a balance between stale records and ARP volume. Just trying to gauge what the community thinks. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com
