Arrival from 1830hrs.
Talks begin promptly at 1900hrs.
Talk 1: Scalable oversubscribed secure-by-default architecture using vendor-agnostic pure networking techniques
Join us for an interactive session that showcases a Telecoms Security Act compliant uk-wide aggregation network which isolates both unicast and BUM traffic down to the switchport level by default with a minimum amount of per-service config, using a uniquely optimised mix of vendor-agnostic pure networking techniques from both the ISP and DC spaces.
Presenter: Chris Gardner (Bestpath)
Talk 2: Do network paths lie? A look into BGP vs Traceroute disagreements
A lot of the time we are building our network policy configuration out of the understanding that the underlying routing data we are being provided is not being tampered with, however how often is that actually true? How often does the path that is presented to us over BGP actually reflect the path that is measurable once we actually accept that route? In this presentation I will use the data that bgp.tools has on the wider internet routing table (IE the BGP control plane) and cross check that data against real world trace route data measurements to see how often the paths are misleading us, either maliciously or not.
Presenter: Ben Cartwright-Cox (BGP.tools)
After Talks: Networking for Networkers
Stay around after the talks for a social hour.
