Arrival from 1830hrs.
Talks begin promptly at 1900hrs.
Talk 1: Reconsidering the RPKI Trust Model and Validation Algorithm
In this talk Job Snijders from Fastly will explain how to reason about
‘trust’ in context of the RPKI, how the current validation algorithm
works, what the downsides of its rigidity are, and share perspective on
different, more robust approaches. Or, phrased in a more exciting way:
how to prepare for the theft of an RIR’s HSM?!?!
Presenter: Job Snijders (Fastly)
Talk 2: “Reclaiming” 240.0.0.0/4
In IPv4 class E space is magical, in that whenever anybody looks at it seems to have a fantastic opinion on how to reclaim it, This is becoming even more tempting in the era where IPv4 is hard to obtain and IPv6 deployment is frustratingly stubborn. In this talk I will go over the challenges and why it is probably not a good idea to try and use this dormant IPv4 space.
Presenter: Ben Cartwright-Cox (bgp.tools)
After Talks: Networking for Networkers
Stay around after the talks for a social hour.

Being on the side in favor of opening up 240/4, and 0/8 – I am always try to point out that… it’s already being used by amazon and google, and others, squatting on it. It has been working for many years now.
More than anything else though, I enjoyed writing up the history of these two blocks, in the thus far failed internet drafts, especially the 0/8 effort, of which I am most proud, for saving a nanosecond on every packet, not enforcing useless policy.

Contrary to the thesis of your talk – there is one (nutcase) that wants to do something weird with it. My group just wants to shift the ledger from reserved to officially unicast, and be done with it. Allocation policies can follow.
I would kibitz remotely if I could.
