(Sponsor-led Content)

11:30 - 11:50
Room: Lomond Suite
Detecting and mitigating today’s DDoS threats, in real-time, requires in-line inspection with ultra-efficient packet processing. Increasingly, this includes the need for virtualised security functions, as well as, or instead of, physical appliances. This session covers some of the techniques used to deliver high-performance platform-agnostic DDoS protection.

NetDevOps Configuration Management
(Main Session)

11:50 - 12:20
Room: Lomond Suite
Configuration management is not just about backing up configs into source control. Leveraging tools like Ansible, Salt, Chef or Puppet allow you to interact with the configuration of network devices via abstraction and automated framework to save us from the pitfalls of "Finger Defined Networking". Scripts are a great first step to automation, but they require maintenance and strong programming skills. Configuration Management leverages scripts that are maintained by the community of vendors and OpenSource. With them you provide the configuration intent in a simple and consistent fashion, and the details of implementation are handled by the tooling. In this session we will explore how the same tools system admins are using to manage servers, cloud and applications can be leveraged in the network to foster a DevOps culture across silos in the organization.

OpenNMS is powerful and scalable network monitoring platform that is completely open source. While designed from the start to be highly scalable, recent work has added new features to extend that scalability to new levels. This presentation will present three of them: 1. **Newts**: [Newts][1] is a new time-series database built on top of Apache Cassandra. It adds new levels of performance data storage capable of storing hundreds of thousands of data points per second, in both a redundant and geographically separated fashion. 2. **OpenNMS Minion**: The [Minion][2] is a lightweight application that can run on commodity hardware to perform distributed monitoring. This can greatly extend the monitoring capability of OpenNMS and addresses a number of issues such as duplicate network address space and a need for redundancy. 3. **OpenNMS Drift**: [Drift][3] allows for the collection of "flow" data including protocols such as Netflow, IPFIX, JFlow and sFlow. The information is stored in Elasticsearch and is displayed in Grafana. Over 100,000 flows per second are currently being collected in production systems with twice that easily possible with the right hardware. As the number of network elements an organization has to monitor grows, both to provide a high level of service or to address regulatory requirements, OpenNMS has grown to meet those needs. Its open source nature makes it both a flexible and cost effective solution.

It's DNS Jim, but not as we know it!
(Main Session)
Sara Dickinson
(
Sinodun IT
)
15:10 - 15:40
Room: Lomond Suite
This talk will explore the most recent evolutions in how end-device DNS resolution is being done including new encrypted transports and DNS resolution directly from applications. The talk will provide an overview of the recent work on the both the DNS-over-TLS and DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) protocols at the IETF. It will then summarise the recent implementations in OS's, applications and on mobile platforms and review existing large scale deployments. The talk will attempt to present considerations for network operators as the deployment of encrypted transports for DNS increases. Alongside this, the talk will also explore the potential implications of applications starting to perform DNS lookups directly, in some cases to 'preferred resolvers' (e.g. Firefox are experimenting with DoH in the browser sending queries to Cloudflare).

This talk will provide a summary of the NIS (Network and Information Systems) Regulations - what they cover, who they apply to and the way that the ICO is intending to regulate the sector it is responsible for. It will cover what the main requirements are, who counts as an RDSP and will also look at breach reporting, in particular the crossover with GDPR breach reporting obligations.

**1.) Introduction to the UK Fibre Connectivity Forum (UKFCF)** - **Forum summary** - *The UK Fibre Connectivity Forum (UKFCF) is an association of organisations and individuals committed to working together to support and advise the UK Government in delivering policies that will create a fertile environment for the rapid growth of the UK’s digital economy.** - **Forum vision** - *UKFCF’s vision is to establish affordable, high-speed full-fibre connectivity across all parts of the UK in all commercial and residential buildings, delivered on a level playing field for all stakeholders.* - **Forum objectives** - *raising awareness of the UK’s inadequate digital infrastructure; establishing a dynamic think tank of industry experts; maintaining an influential grassroots-level, non-profit voluntary organisation.* - **The fibre scene at the time of the Forum’s inception at the March 2017 Parliament event** - *BT Openreach separation; the role of Ofcom; 2017 Brexit proceedings commencement; pending business rate revaluation; £400 million Digital Infrastructure Investment Fund; only 3.08% of UK buildings connected with full fibre (FTTP); the UK’s poor ranking in European connectivity league table.*

Balquhidder Community Broadband has created an P2P FTTH infrastructure for Balquhidder Glen and the surrounding area. The Community Interest Company (CIC) is working in partnership with Bogons and with funding from Bogons, the EU (via LEADER) and Stirling Council. With more than half of the network backbone now laid and the connection of households continuing apace, Bogons and BCB will provide an update on progress and on the technical and logistical challenges overcome in delivering a network over often hostile terrain.

The hitchhikers guide to ducts and poles, networks and 30 years of acquisitions
(Main Session)
Charlie Boisseau
17:30 - 18:00
Room: Lomond Suite
An introduction for budding manhole spotters to the UK's common pavement-logos and street furniture and a potted history of who built those networks and subsequent numerous acquisitions. Who is using those networks today? Inspired a little bit by Ingrid Burrington's book (ISBN 1612195423) of a similar theme. Interactive video snippet: https://nyti.ms/2At6KQU In addition, I'll go through some experiences we've had in building new infrastructure and whats involved. What's in the manholes? What's a subduct? What's the difference in cost for digging in the carriageway vs footway vs grass verge. What are others (Gigaclear, B4RN etc.) doing to keep this cost down?
