3 Exploring Quantum Technology for Networking

In this presentation I will give a brief introduction on how quantum technology can be made applicable to network and we will review how already available and emerging quantum technology can help improve well known security mechanisms and protocols. For example the use of Quantum Key Distribution in MACsec and IPsec and Quantum Random Number Generators.
Also we will explore how close (or far away) a quantum internet is and if it will even be fully quantum.

7 PeeringDB Operations & Product Update

PeeringDB is a freely available, user-maintained, database of networks, and the go-to location for interconnection data. It facilitates the global interconnection of networks at IXPs, data centers, and other interconnection facilities. It is the first stop in making interconnection decisions.

Due to the pandemic we were not able to give an update to your audience. This presentations briefly introduces what PeeringDB is, how it is organized and governed and then highlights the new features and improvemnts.

8 Nine mistakes I've done while building network automation

When designing network automation there are many pitfalls. Network services may be highly complex, and be extremely complicated to implement.

This makes it common to do a few mistakes along the way, and since making mistakes is the number one way to learn and improve, it should be celebrated.

In this talk Allan Eising will go through nine types of mistakes that he has made in his work with network automation.

These mistakes are delivered with humor and suggestions on how to avoid them.

Allan Eising works designing network automation solutions at Telia Company.

10 Synchronization in Transport Networks

Synchronization in transport networks is a topic that has seen its importance fluctuate over time as technology trends have changed. In the era of SDH/SONET based mobile transport, engineering of network sync was critical.

Today, the need for sync performance in 5G & 6G networks as well as the financial markets, the medical area, the military, and utility sector, with a correspondingly higher sync specification, is now more important than ever.

Delivering sync of high quality can be achieved in a few ways. This presentation will look at the challenges and what steps any operator needs to consider when upgrading to higher bandwidth or building out a transport network for the future to secure high quality sync.

11 BGP Security - Hijack and Route Leak Detection

In this presentation, we focus on BGP security using the Code BGP platform. We start with an introduction to the various types of BGP hijacks and route leaks and the challenges related to detecting BGP anomalies. We explain how the Code BGP Platform leverages multiple data sources and GraphQL subscriptions to detect BGP events of interest. We present two exact prefix hijack events against root DNS prefixes that took place a few days ago. Finally, we do a live demo of configuring alert rules, doing actual announcements on the Internet and detecting hijacks.

12 ELI5 - how to talk to decision makers and get buy-in

If you want to succeed in any given area, you will have to work on your communication skills just as much as your routing skills.

Being able to communicate in a language anyone can understand will maximise your chances of getting approval and funding.

In this talk, I will share some of my techniques for essentially managing up.
I will be using a mix of powerpoint and physical demonstrations.

I will be deploying ransomware live on stage in a network of computers, and show how a small practical demonstration can lead to talks such as; network segmentation, awareness training, detection and response - which in turn can help you get the funding for the projects you so desperately need.

16 Denmark: Country Report, from RIPE NCC perspective

Although, as a global network of networks, the Internet is, in many ways, borderless -- there are still unique national characteristics: geographical and economic challenges, national Internet Governance policies, peering arrangements between various providers, and many other factors that all play a role in shaping any one country's Internet landscape. Understanding these can provide a more comprehensive picture of a country's unique place in the broader Internet ecosystem and can help identify challenges and new opportunities.

In December 2022, RIPE NCC has published a "regional report" for the Nordic Region, including Denmark, based on the data collected by RIPE NCC measurements platforms, analysis and visualisations:
https://labs.ripe.net/author/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-country-report-the-nordic-region/

The report covers Internet number resource holdings and transfers and IPv6 readiness; region's resilience and stability by mapping the relationship between different networks in the countries and regions, their international connectivity to the global Internet, access to K-root, traffic paths and routing security.

In my presentation, I want to highlight the findings from this report, answer questions, present relevant services & projects by the RIPE NCC, and gather feedback.

My goals are to engage Danish network-operators community.

18 Embedded CDNs in 2023 - a status

Embedded CDNs have been around for several decades. In the beginning there was Akamai and then Google. About a decade ago more showed up. In 2012, we did a panel at NANOG discussing the challenges for the ISPs who chose to embed. ISPs had to adapt to various differences for each of the solutions. The outlook was that an increased number of providers would offer an embedded solution, the variations would grow in complexity and the request or hope was alignment and standardization.
So what has happened in the last decade? This talk will focus on the most common embedded solutions and their similarities, differences and evolution over the past decade.

19 Streaming Telemetry with gNMIc

The need to reliably monitor today’s ever-growing networks in the WAN, edge, and data center domains is now more critical than ever. The industry relied mainly on SNMP for monitoring, a protocol that creaks at the seams when used to collect counters present in the current network devices, let alone the increasingly complex networks of the future.

Many consider gNMI - Openconfig's gRPC-based streaming telemetry protocol - to be the prime successor to SNMP. It packs a lot of features that make it possible to build modern monitoring stacks. Push-based telemetry model, reliable transport, TLS-secured by default, data model-based access to monitored data leaves, and exceptional performance on the wire to name a few.

This talk introduces an open-source software suite called gNMIc - a feature-rich gNMI CLI client and a performant telemetry collector. Focusing on gNMI-based streaming telemetry gNMIc has a handful of unique features that set it aside from other general-purpose collectors. High availability and clustering of collector instances, rich data processing pipelines, sheer support for various outputs for metrics, and embedded caching are just the tip of the iceberg.

20 About Packet Filtering

Packet filters are an important tool for handling disruptions. Combining rate limits in packet filters is almost a requirement here, but not all vendors support this feature. This presentation explains how to use rate limiting packet filters effectively to mitigate DDoS.

21 How Sweden developed one of the most advanced and secure time distribution networks in the world

Networks rely on accurate and secure time synchronisation to function. But in many cases, time services are prone to disruption, inaccuracy and attack. With governments and regulators across the EU calling for more reliable and robust time, Sweden has developed an extremely accurate and secure time distribution network.

In this talk, we will focus on the regulatory framework, the different roles and the technical developments that made this possible, as well as the protocols used and the lessons learned. The goal of this talk is to inspire the Danish operator community to follow the latest developments and to explain the best practices for getting reliable and secure time.

22 Help, I broke the Internet: Incident management at scale

The Internet has this unfortunate tendency of breaking. Be it because an anchor went where it shouldn't, or remote hands unplugged a cable, or because a linecard ran out of memory. At the end of the day, things break, and we have to deal with it.
Cloudflare runs a global network, and has a lot of experience with incidents. I'll share our approach to incident management, and incident communication.
