Experiences of unusual DNS query patterns have been the focus of many recent talks that have examined the sources, targets and intent of this traffic, as well as the impact seen by authoritative servers and resolvers alike.
Last year, ISC proposed and then started trialling experimental recursive client rate limiting techniques in BIND, with the intent of limiting the impact of this...

Using nine months of access logs comprising 1.9 Billion sessions to BBC iPlayer, we survey the UK ISP ecosystem to understand the factors affecting adoption and usage of a high bandwidth TV streaming application across different providers. We find evidence that connection speeds are important and that external events can have a huge impact for live TV usage. Then, through a temporal analysis...

APNIC has been conducting a long lived (5 year) measurement activity using google ads and javascript placements worldwide. We collect over 700,000 experiments a day from end users. The sampling is random, but has placement bias. So, we've developed methods of adjusting for this using world population stats. A side effect of this is that we may now have one of the only public insights into...

LC plugs are not the only ones now that we have QSFP+. Should you use MPO or MTP. What about ST, LC, SC, E2000 or the new LC Uniboot plugs ? What are the compromises and benefits of each solution.
Did you know that polarity in optical MPO matters ? And why the polish of a plug can cause headaches during on-site installation.
Thomas will give an overview of the connectors and fibre...
