| Abstract |
Cisco’s Enterprise engineering team, in collaboration with the Cisco IT team (Known within Cisco as the IPV6 transformers), took the lead in converting one of Cisco’s buildings, building 23 (known internally as “The v6 Island”) in San Jose to an IPv6-only network. Building 23 houses more than 500 employees with at least two devices per person. This translates into more than 120 access points and 20 network devices (Wireless/Switching/Routing).
The Cisco IPV6 transformers are here to share this exhilarating journey to roll out the first IPv6-only building in the industry servicing the typical daily business traffic of a large enterprise. Beyond the excitement, how the team handled the initial user anxiety to move to an IPv6 only campus and what it took to operationalize this. It had been a Herculean effort to make sure that critical services were migrated with minimal disruption. |

|
| Abstract |
Evil has been lurking in the Internet since its inception. The IETF recognized
this, releasing RFC 3514 on the evil bit. Unfortunately it isn't widely adopted
, so we have to find our evil in other ways. Grepping is a time honored way of
finding needles in haystacks, so let's see how much evil we can find in the DNS
haystack…. And can we answer the question of “Why is it so easy?” |

Lightning Talk: Global Traceroute
|
| Date/Time |
2:30 PM to 2:40 PM
|
| Location |
Plaza Ballroom |
| Presenters |
- Speaker
- Steve Gibbard, Link Level Consulting, LLC
|
| Abstract |
Global Traceroute (https://www.globaltraceroute.com) is a front-end to do traceroutes from RIPE Atlas probes, which means you can now do quick and easy traceroutes from most of the world's major end user ISPs.
Information about inbound paths is very important for troubleshooting routing problems, but it hasn't been readily available. Various measurement systems provided information about performance issues, outbound paths, and what interface inbound traffic was coming in on. But determining the full path inbound traffic was taking — why users of some ISPs in Asia had their traffic show up in Europe, for instance, was much more difficult.
Several looking glasses and commercial performance monitoring systems allowed traceroutes from their probes, but those often aren't where end users were. RIPE Atlas had probes where a lot of end users were, but being designed as a research system, the user interface was cumbersome for every day troubleshooting. Global Traceroute uses the Atlas API, but is a more operator-friendly troubleshooting tool.

- Speaker
- Nick Plunkett
|
| Abstract |
Through technology cycles, many networks face constraints around servicing their capacity needs between short haul metro locations in a lean and efficient manner. In this presentation, we will discuss how we leveraged a more "crafty" optical solution than might be typically considered to better serve our immediate needs. Specifically, we will focus on 100 Gigabit DWDM pluggables - how they are readily available and have become a decent option for this niche in recent months, as well as how they worked for our needs and how we utilized these techniques in our network. |

Extending Reach of Open Source Through Standards
|
| Date/Time |
4:00 PM to 4:30 PM
|
| Location |
Plaza Ballroom |
| Presenters |
- Speaker
- Charles Eckel, Cisco Systems
- Charles is a developer evangelist in the Cisco DevNet team with a passion for open source software and open standards. He started with open source in 1999 as a founding member of Vovida Networks, developing some of the industry’s first open source VoIP protocol stacks and applications. Now at Cisco, he is a recognized champion of open standards, open source, and interoperability. He runs DevNet’s Open Source Dev Center, which focuses on Cisco’s major open source contributions, use, and community engagements; most notably, introducing open source hackathons into IETF and MEF, revolutionizing the way these SDOs operate and uniting open source software with open standards to maximize the pace and relevance of both.
|
| Abstract |
ABSTRACT:
Open source communities move quickly, value running code, and docs are best effort at best. Standards move slowly, value precise specs, and compromise for broad alignment. Given these differences, why would open source communities fraternize with standards orgs? Standards orgs such as IETF and MEF realize they need to change remain relevant. By embracing open source, standards orgs benefit from the speed and collaborative spirit of open source and get timely feedback on the clarity and correctness of standards as they evolve in parallel with running code. Open source communities gain users, address additional use cases, and gain stability of standards to ease integration efforts and avoid forks. This session explores this evolution in standards orgs, highlights areas of mutual interest, and shares ideas on the benefit of closer collaboration.
AUDIENCE:
The audience is anyone actively involved in open source communities or standards organizations, as well as developers, architects, system integrators who are struggling with the relative value of traditional standards based approaches in light of the recent wave of open source solutions.
BENEFITS TO THE ECOSYSTEM:
By collaborating with standards organizations and supporting existing and evolving standards, the open source community gains users, address a larger set of use cases, and gain stability of standards that can helps avoid harmful forking and ease integration efforts. Standards orgs benefit from the speed and collaborative spirit characteristics of open source, and they gain timely and critical feedback on the clarity and correctness of their standards as they evolve iteratively and in parallel with the open source code. The end result is open source code that is more consumable by industry, and standards that are more consumable by the open source community. |
