RecordingsFull AbstractLayer 2 Attacks and Mitigation Techniques session focuses on the security issues surrounding Layer 2, the data-link layer. With a significant percentage of network attacks originating inside the corporate firewall, exploring this soft underbelly of data networking is critical for any secure network design. Security issues addressed in this session include ARP spoofing, MAC flooding, VLAN hopping, DHCP attacks, and Spanning Tree Protocol concerns. Common myths about Ethernet switch security are confirmed or debunked, and specific security lockdown recommendations are given. Attack mitigation options include the new DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) functionality. Attendees can expect to learn Layer 2 design considerations from a security perspective and mitigation techniques for Layer 2 attacks. This session is for network designers, administrators, and engineers in all areas of data networking. Speakers |
Full AbstractProblem solving is the essence of what most network administrators do, but it's not often taught, and there's a lot of mystique that says it can't be taught. In fact, it's a skill, and it can be taught to the same extent that other skills can be taught. The most important tool in teaching it is simply a belief that it can be taught; this talk will attempt to convince you, and will provide you with more tools you can use to teach. Speakers |

Full AbstractThe high-tech sector's incredible growth over the last two decades has, not surprisingly, created a rising demand for action and expertise in reducing energy use. Some customers simply can't install any more computing equipment without freeing up energy capacity. This presents a great opportunity for energy efficiency: Data center operators want to learn how energy-efficient technologies can not only save energy, but also increase data center capacity. Speakers |
Full AbstractPart 1 will be composed of a panel of experts from large Data Center operators who are facing challenges providing high powered facilities to meet demand while still being able to cool said facilities. Issues facing the industry will include build costs, technology for power production (autonomous from the grid), new cooling technologies such as liquid cooling and how that is affecting designs. Part 2 will be vendors of new tech for producing power and cooling and where they see the industry going. This should be telling of what our industries limits will be and how that will affect the Internet when space+power+cooling capacities become limited. Part 3 will be a panel of Server, Router and Switch vendors. This panel will talk about new power loads on their hardware, how they are reducing the loads, new cooling technologies and where they see the industry heading. This one may get heated and grilling of those vendors is expected. Speakers Panelist - Subodh Bapat, Sun Microsystems |

RecordingsFull AbstractIn five years as an ISP routercrasher, there have been many false starts, and plenty of missed visions. Operators and managers of small to medium networks (single router to single-digit POP count) will hopefully find a few examples of things that "light the lamp" and help some facet of the daily grind.

Full AbstractA chance for IXP operators (and IXP users) to get together and discuss issues and challenges around IXP operations. We're going to talk about Per-neighbor BFD across public fabrics: best practices, interoperability, operational experience/results. Also included: Layer2 fabric convergence: RSTP, vendor ring protocols, PBT/PBB, VPLS. Speakers Panelist - Louie Lee, Equinix |
Full AbstractCurrently, network operators are increasingly bundling multiple links together to meet the growing demand for IP and MPLS services. They also use several Equal Cost Multi-Path techniques at various protocol layers such as BGP, OSPF, ISIS, RSVP-TE and LDP to provide multiple paths. This leads to numerous combinations of load balanced paths at different layers (IP, MPLS, Ethernet). With services being offered for native IP, L2VPNs, VPLS, L3VPNs, IPv6 and others, a one size fits all approach for load balancing is limited. In this presentation, we will look at the reasons for load sharing, the various layers where load sharing is used, highlight the criteria used for load sharing at each layer and recommend the best schemes to be used for each traffic type to boost network capacity utilization. We will further look at some interesting techniques of speculation in MPLS packets and neutralization of polarization effects in IP networks. Speakers |

RecordingsFull AbstractDate: Sunday, January 27, 2008 2:44 PM +1000 From: Philip Smith To: nanog-announce Subject: IPv6 Hour at NANOG 42 Hello everyone, We are planning to hold an IPv6 testing and documentation hour during the NANOG 42 meeting next month in San Jose. During this hour, the conference wireless and wired networks will have only IPv6 connectivity available during some phases of the work. Recognising that some members of our community have to be on net and available 24x7, there will be a small corner of the NANOG network which will have IPv4 support. The goal of the IPv6 hour will be educational, experimental, and documentary for our community. We are not trying to do damage, politics, or marketing. It is very likely we will all have to live with IPv6, and getting common clue about it is part of the NANOG mission. We are trying/hoping to show what works and what does not, and how to work around some of the bits that do not work. We also hope that attendees at NANOG 42 will join with us in this exercise and contribute to the wiki at: http://www.civil-tongue.net/clusterf/" TARGET="_blank">http://www.civil-tongue.net/clusterf/ (To contribute to the wiki, please create a login, then open a ticket addressed to admin, and wait for a return message indicating editorial rights have been created.) On Wednesday there will be a short session which will discuss the experiences and lessons learned during the IPv6 hour. Philip Smith NANOG SC Chair Speakers |

Full AbstractLarge earthquakes hit the Luzon Strait south of Taiwan on 26 December 2006, severing 7 of 9 submarine cables passing through the area. We briefly review the immediate impact of this outage with respect to the countries and providers most seriously affected. Then we examine the longer term impact of the quake by studying the change in Asian provider rankings one year later. These changes are quite significant for a number of providers and are the direct result of major customer wins or losses. We provide explicit examples for some of the larger changes and draw some conclusions about the future of Internet transit in Asia. Speakers |

RecordingsFull AbstractWith modern Ethernet equipment supporting frame sizes well above 1500 bytes, operators do not typically always agree upon an interface MTU between each other. To complicate this, vendors configuration commands also confuse operators as well. Inconsistent MTU settings can result in negative behavior for any network. This presentation covers the problems of inconsistent MTU settings, no MTU negotiation capability and other issues when operating at Internet exchange LANs. Speakers |

RecordingsFull AbstractAn update on recent developments in the IEEE 802.3ba Task Force that is developing the 40 GbE and 100 standards. http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/ba/index.html" TARGET="_BLANK">IEEE P802.3ba 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet Task Force Speakers |
Full AbstractThere has been much discussion and many presentations given around forthcoming 100Gb standards within the NANOG arena, however very little of that discussion has addressed the challenges facing the equipment suppliers in developing the forwarding engines required to meet those speed challenges. This panel will focus on those challenges, and span the challenges facing the system suppliers today from backplane and signal integrity issues to fib lookups and re-writing headers at 100G FDX, and finally queuing challenges to/from the fabric and interfaces.

Full AbstractThis presentation will briefly describe the methodology and present the results of the analysis, including the distribution of queries between different /8s and the networks from which these queries originate. The analysis does not provide a complete overview of the use of address space reserved for future allocation but it should help identify the scale of the problem. In addition to presenting the results of this research, we will also identify other research into this topic and identify other possible avenues for future research. Speakers |

Full AbstractWe present the design, implementation, and evaluation of Morpheus, a routing control platform that enables a single ISP to realize a much broader range of routing policies without changing its routers or coordinating with other ISPs. Morpheus allows network operators to easily define new policy objectives, make flexible trade-offs between the objectives, and realize customer-specific policies (e.g., provide customer-specific routes). Our experiments show that Morpheus is scalable in large ISPs. Speakers Jennifer Rexford, Princeton University Yi Wang, Princeton University |
