UKNOF52 Introduction and Welcome. Update on UKNOF future.
WDM has been around for many years and is a fundamental, yet often overlooked area of networks. As new people enter the industry, who perhaps don't work with Layer1 technologies regularly, they might appreciate an introduction to WDM.
The aim of the presentation is to look at what WDM is (and isn't), with a brief overview of amplification, muxponding & transponding, with an introduction to...
Introduction:
Imagine a network that runs like a well-oiled machine - efficient, reliable, and as secure as Fort Knox. But here's the catch: it takes sharp-eyed administrators to spot and fix configuration blunders before they turn into catastrophic failures or sneaky breaches. The trouble is, modern networks are so vast and intricate that deviations from configuration standards often go...
Optical networks are undergoing rapid evolution and have advanced considerably over the last 2-3 years. This presentation will update the audience on the latest trends within the industry with a focus on innovation within pluggable optics that are driving the resurgence in interest in IPoDWDM architectures and the drive towards Open Optical Networks. Of course "A tool is ever only as good as...
The January 2022 eruption of Hunga Volcano (also known as Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai), in The Kingdom of Tonga, was the most explosive volcanic event recorded by modern instrumentation. The eruption sent shockwaves multiple times around the world, generated devastating tsunamis that damaged coastal communities and infrastructure and severed the domestic and international subsea cables that...
This presentation goes over Certificate Transparency, what it is, and how it's used to ensure billions of TLS certificates across the Internet can be trusted.
It then presents what CT Logs are, what it takes to run one of these critical services, and how anyone can do it to contribute to a more secure Internet.
End of day wrap-up.

The RIPE NCC strives to be a centre of excellence for data, measurements and tools that provide insight on the Internet and its operations.
This presentation is an overview of the RIPE NCC Internet measurement services:
- Routing Information Service (RIS)
- RIPEstat
- RIPE Atlas
As the UK’s journey towards NetZero accelerates, we need robust information to inform funding decisions, policy development, hardware procurement, and operational level job scheduling.
The IRISCAST project set out to use a learning-by-doing approach to conduct a proof-of-concept carbon audit across a multi-site heterogeneous research infrastructure by collecting and analysing 24-hour...
LONAP is a not-for-profit, neutral Internet Exchange Point established in 1997 and based in London. With around 250 members, over 350 connected ports across 8 points of presence and peaks of 1Tbps (or 130Mpps) of traffic. We operate with 4 full time staff so rely on automation to be able to grow in members, ports and traffic year on year, while reducing our pricing. This presentation will give...
This panel session aims to share perspectives on the user’s right to privacy and security within the context of the network operator. We consider the technical aspects of this, such as TLS-ECH and BGPsec, as well as governmental policies and the role of regulation, engagement with Internet standards, and the position of network operators within this space: what their role is, what it can be,...
An ISP operating as a community benefit society
We recently did wifi for a local music festival.
We peaked at over 1200 users On the network and 3tb of data in3 days.
We go over the design and implementation of a global IP routing policy for a distributed Kubernetes cluster that allows hosting of anycast services, geographic traffic engineering, and hot potatos, using exclusively open source software. This helps bring many of the Cloud and Hyperscaler features to on-premises infrastructures, albeit at a smaller scale, and makes them more accessible to everyone.
Nominet operates the .UK registy.
Following an EGM in 2021, there has been a significant change in Nominet’s Board, staff and general approach.
