UKNOF51 Introduction and Welcome by Keith.
Request for feedback to the PC from Dave.
Request for UKNOF systems volunteer or two
This presentation aims at providing a short introduction to the RIPE NCC's main functions and services, promoting participation in the RIPE Policy Development Process.
I uploaded an empty file, the presentation slides will be provided later to include an update on recent policy-related discussions and the current policy proposals.
It's 2023 so everything is automated in our network's because we're all so cool, we're all even using Python and Go instead of BASH and expect, but beyond simply writing code, do you know when to implicitly model your infrastructure vs explicitly model it? You have network design standards, but do you have coding and contributing standards too? What would they look like? Are you checking...
How F5 deployed its backbone in the Asia Pacific region, the challenge we faced, what we failed and what we've changed and what we've learned
The 400G market is growing with many more organisations looking to deploy 400G transceivers for IP over DWDM.
One thing to consider with 400G optics is that some use a slightly broader passband which can create problems when used with a standard 100Hz-based DWDM system.
This lightning talk is aimed at highlighting the issue and providing options on how to overcome this when using passive DWDM systems
Multicast migration from PIM based transport to MPLS in OneWeb network. Will go over the challenges faced , approached taken due to concerns of latency and various design changes required to achieve sub-second failover in a global network.
We are researching security, scalability and latency properties in multi-domain communication, and are interested in industry's perspectives on how we can protect confidentiality in Internet traffic, for both consumers and businesses.
This lightning talk gives a brief introduction to our research, and outlines our call for questions, panellists and feedback for a potential panel session...
The UKNOF Programme and Communications Committees (PC and CC) are both looking to recruit new volunteers.
Dave Wilson has recently joined the Programme Committee, and Steve Karmeinsky has recently stepped up as the new Chair of the Comunications Committee.
In this lightning talk, they will outline the roles they have stepped into, and give some insight into how the sausage is made behind...
UKNOF51 - End of Day 1
Here is the abstract of our presentation:
The landscape of the 5G network is continuously evolving, raising an increasing number of security threats at different levels and applications. With the advent of 5G technology, the need for robust security measures has become more important than ever. 5G network is no longer a technology for making calls and data browsing over the phone alone;...
In this engagement, we describe our intelligence gathered around Russian and Ukraine conflict. How mobile networks were weaponized to inflict cyber war with primary focus on nation state activity led by Russian source/identity holding various objectives.
i.e performing account takeover, attacks on Ukrainian subscribers via SS7 Spoofing and new threat indicators captured being used by Russian...
In this presentation, we focus on BGP security using the Code BGP platform. We start with an introduction to the various types of BGP hijacks and route leaks and the challenges related to detecting BGP anomalies. We explain how the Code BGP Platform leverages multiple data sources and GraphQL subscriptions to detect BGP events of interest. We present two exact prefix hijack events against root...
Internet was built on principles of redundancy and is used to mitigate disruptions. But what happens when there are multiple problems or damages, that need to be managed simultaneously? Are you ready to operate under the circumstances of blackouts, lack of diesel, curfew, and critical equipment shortage, when all these factors coincided? What about events of natural force that we’ve recently...
We must admit that we will live with IPv4 addresses for a long time, and this panel aims to overview the IPv4 acquisition and leasing patterns. Additionally, drill the BGP data and what can get improved from the IP holders, RIR, and overall ecosystem.
This presentation will cover:
Overview of MA5 expansion with timelines, and how it fits in with LINX Manchester topology
Acknowledgment that Manchester is an important tech hub with screenshots of news stories
Attracting major networks to the exchange
Growth in traffic and member numbers over the past decade
Products and Services at LINX Manchester and what's...
Loki is an open source, horizontally-scalable log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. It takes a different approach to many other log aggregation solutions by avoiding indexing on log content and instead having powerful query-time operations.
In this talk I'll give a a short overview of loki, how we've integrated it with our network and the powerful capabilities it enables.
Microservices are fast becoming the predominant architectural style for orchestrating online services due to the advantages they can bestow over monolithic systems. However, as microservice architectures grow in size they quickly become complicated to understand and manage. Their characteristics raise the question as to whether they may behave like complex systems. In this work, we use tools...
Kubernetes has become the de facto method for running complex application stacks. Drawing on experience of migrating business-critical systems to Kubernetes, this talk will explain why, with a particular focus on its internal networking features and how these can interact with external networks.
For many years space-based satellites have provided an essential means of connectivity for a wide range of telecommunications requirements. Today we are living through the era of “New Space” in which satellites are being launched into low earth orbits to form mega-constellations which promise broadband access and lower latency than traditional satellite services. This, coupled with other...
UKNOF relies on volunteers to survive. In this session we will recognise the volunteers who make it a success. We will present plaques recognising the efforts by volunteers who have left the UKIF board and various committees. We will also welcome new volunteers who have joined the UKIF board, the Communications Committee, and the Programme Committee.
