      Next Gen Sky Broadband Core Network
      The Sky Broadband network deployed the new Cisco NCS6000 8 Tbit core router across its core network in 2014 to support rapidly growing network traffic and subscriber numbers (now peaking at 2500 Gbit/s to over 5 million subscribers). At the same time it moved to 100Gbit links within the core and is starting to use 100Gbit for external interconnects. This paper describes the architectural choices, migration process and initial experience with the new technology.

      OpenNMS, the open source network and service management platform has been around for over 10 years and is now used widely by large and small enterprises, service providers, ISP's and equipment vendors. Recently a lot of investment has gone into re-architecting the platform to make it highly scalable and distributed. In this presentation we will highlight the latest developments in OpenNMS and explain why riding the innovation curve of an open source product might be the best choice to future proof service management in your organisation.

      Anycast on a shoe string
      Over 6 months I built out a distributed DNS service around the world consisting of 14 nodes, whilst at the same time trying to keep it under the radar of the wife - costing less than $1000/yr. I'll talk about how I built it, what tools I used (RethinkDB, Beanstalkd, CollectD, Python etc), the problems I faced, details I learnt about how other "budget" anycast services are built and the fun I had along the way.
