Any problem can have multiple causes and a vital part of troubleshooting is to gather as much data as possible. Substantial data can be gleaned in regards to campus outages from social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. This talk aims to briefly explain the benefits (and significant pitfalls) of crowdsourcing your network monitoring.

Operator error is one of the biggest causes for network failure. In the data center, topologies based on CLOS tree and its variants, right cabling is a skilled and time consuming endeavor. PTMD is designed to take the pain and skill out of this task. PTMD runs on all routers/switches in the network (and can run on hosts too). It takes a graphviz-DOT specified network cabling plan (something...

Software Defined Networking has been around for a while now. Most people are aware of the methodology of SDN but not necessarily what SDN was supposed to achieve and the benefits it is meant to offer? We look at what SDN is meant to achieve and where the market is today. Is SDN delivering on it’s promises?

With the exhaustion of ipv4, considerable focus has been placed upon how access networks look to scale their networks due to increasing subscriber levels.
This panel aims to ascertain how UK access networks have approached introducing IPv6 within their networks. We consider the options and pitfalls of carrier grade NAT, migration to dual stack and specifically how IPv6 can be introduced at...
