BIX upgrade and maintenance
We are finished the build-out of the new Force10 E1200i based BIX core node, and we started to move the BIX member connections to this new core. This port moves cause one time, maximum 5-10 minute downtime for every BIX Member connection. We do this maintenances in four part, in the following time windows:

• May 20 2009 3am - 5am MET-DST [Finished]
  
• May 27 2009 3am - 5am MET-DST [Finished]
  
• Juni 3 2009 2:30am - 5am MET-DST [Finished]
  
• Juni 10 2009 2:30am - 5am MET-DST [Finished]

ISZT BIX Node upgrades: One new active CISCO Catalyst 6509 switch installed in the node, which handles the low speed backup BIX connections. The two main switch is upgraded with additional new 10G Ethernet linecards, and the interconnection between the two switches increased to 80Gbit/sec. Now the current (BIX member) capacity on the ISZT node is: 36x 10GE (XENPAK), 48x GE (SFP) and 96x FE (100BaseT) ports.

BIX reached the 100 Gbit/sec traffic.
At 26th November 2008 the BIX total aggregated traffic was 100.5 Gbit/sec, and 15.8 MPacket/sec. In the past one year our traffic is increased with 66%, thus the BIX is still the largest Internet eXchange in the Central and East European region, and 6th in Europe on the basis of the aggregated traffic.
