Network operators typically negotiate BGP peering establishment via an email chain. Well-deserved attention in the past year has been given to modernising this practice in the form of the in-draft peering API rfc. Inspired by this, this talk shall cover an open-source implementation to enable widespread adoption
A walk through the stack of physics and mathematics that supports quantum technologies. Some details on the aspects of quantum networking, and some info on what’s in development in the industry.

In 2009 the Nobel Prize committee gave the Physics prize to Charles Kao for the invention of fibre optical communications. But the story wasn’t that simple, and it didn’t have a single lone inventor. So how did we invent the idea of using glass fibres for long distance communications? And why are we returning to some of the discarded ideas?

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?!?!
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.

An overview of some of the technologies available now and coming soon. Why are there different standards and options? What do I need to look out for and what questions do I need to ask if I want to deploy these optics?
Dan will cover all the aspects of a Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation, how different subsystems interoperate, a little on the radio/RF, a little on the architectures on the ground and in space.

Sharing a few lessons learned from some of the more unusual power outages on a rural network.
A software engineer’s view into how contemporary hardware operates and what does that mean for network and infrastructure layers, as seen in the context of machine learning hype. Fabrics, in particular non-IP fabrics, routing of address space (no, not IP address space, the real address space), Infiniband and custom transports, feeding accelerators with data and what does that mean for the networking part of the system, and how software could and does abuse the potential of underlying hardware.
