IPv6 Case Studies - A Call to Action
Date/Time 10:30 AM to 10:35 AM
Location Renaissance Ballroom
Presenters
Speaker
John Curran, American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
John Curran is the President and CEO of ARIN. John is a recognized expert on Internet and telecommunications matters and has been the Chief Technology Officer of three successful Internet companies: BBN/GTE-Internetworking, XO Communications, and ServerVault Corporation. He has also been an active participant in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), having co-chaired the IETF Operations and Network Management Area and served as a member of the IPng (IPv6) Directorate. John is a founding member of the ARIN Board of Trustees, having served since August 1997. He was re-elected in 2000, 2003, and again in October 2006, and served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees from inception through early 2009. Since 2009, John has served as ARIN's President and CEO of ARIN, which is a non-elected, full-voting member of the Board of Trustees.
Abstract In five minutes on Monday morning John Curran, President and CEO of ARIN would like to invite members of the NANOG community to share their experience in an IPv6 case study and join ARIN in our quest to move the needle further toward IPv6 adoption. To date, ARIN has collected over 20 cases studies from a wide range of organizations, including a Tier 1 global provider who reported that in some ways IPv6 is easier than IPv4, another organization explaining why they chose to develop an IPv6-only internal network, tips on how to talk to vendors, and why and how many academic institutions took an early adopter mind-set. ARIN will have a staff member at its Registration Services Help Desk during NANOG devoted to talking with organizations interested in sharing their story, and they can even get started onsite. We have a series of questions to ask, can record the conversation and provide the organization with a first draft to refine for publication. It’s a relatively low commitment of time to share your experiences, and your insights may help expedite someone else’s journey. By working together, ARIN and NANOG can provide a helpful resource. We are looking for organizations willing to promote their hard work to deploy IPv6 and help the community at the same time. ARIN's IPv6 deployment case studies are available at: https://teamarin.net/get6/ipv6-case-studies/

Making ARIN policy work for network operators
Date/Time 10:35 AM to 11:15 AM
Location Renaissance Ballroom
Presenters
Speaker
Alyssa Moore, CIRA
Abstract Do you re-assign IP address blocks to customers? Ever use WHOIS? Operate a network on more than one continent? Do you have feelings about ARIN’s IPv4 waiting list? All of the above?! ARIN policies impact the network operator community. This talk will cover the policy discussion that is currently underway in the ARIN region with respect to the above named issues and more. It is also an opportunity for interested network operators to provide feedback without investing the resources to attend a full ARIN meeting. We want to know whether the concepts raised in the current policy proposals are sound, understand how proposals would affect operators, and discern how to best minimize that impact while maximizing value to the community. Please note that this session is not intended for debate of the specific language of the policy proposals.

Presenters
Speaker
Lee Howard, Retevia
Abstract Many businesses would benefit from IPv6. Is there a way to calculate how much? Can we find a way to solve the prisoner's dilemma, where deploying IPv6 is only helpful if everyone else deploys IPv6.

Internet Traffic 2009-2019
Date/Time 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM
Location Renaissance Ballroom
Presenters
Speaker
Craig Labovitz, Nokia
Abstract In 2009, we presented results from a large scale, multi-year study of global Internet traffic across 110 providers and 200 Exabytes of commercial traffic. Our original study found significant changes in inter-AS traffic patterns, an increasing consolidation of "HyperGiant" traffic volumes and an evolution of provider peering strategies[. In this talk, we revisit our work from a decade ago with an in-depth look at the changes to traffic patterns, content delivery and Internet peering across more than 50 providers around the world. We show how cloud, IoT and significant changes to interconnection strategies are impacting networks in North America, Europe and Asia.

NetDevOps or CI/CD for Networks: Myth or reality
Date/Time 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Location Renaissance Ballroom
Presenters
Speaker
Ajay Chenampara
Ajay is a network industry veteran with over 18 years in the space. He is a Domain Architect with Red Hat, focused on helping customers achieve their business outcomes, using Ansible for automating their networks. Previously he was the global datacenter architect for a top 10 Fortune 500 enterprise, leading the network automation efforts there and subsequently worked for a community focused network automation startup, helping network engineers adopt DevOps tools and methodologies across the globe.
Gerald Dykeman
Ansible Domain Architect for North America Public Sector with a focus on Network Automation and Programmability. Previously at Cisco Systems working on a range of solutions from Enterprise to Cloud technologies before moving to Red Hat. CCIE #36354
Abstract As network engineers, it’s almost impossible to avoid the CI/CD/NetDevOps hype-cycle. In this talk we explore how much of this is a myth, versus the ground reality network engineers experience, managing production networks. In our experience, while CI/CD for most vendors can demo very well, they do not hold ground for production networks. The interdependencies between physical hardware and the Network OS (NOS) make it difficult to conduct realistic tests on a purely virtual form factor. In this talk we propose a realistic approach using GitOps and Infrastructure as Code. We will also discuss the limitations of virtualized network OS and provide recommendations on utilizing virtualized platforms for limited testing and configuration linting

Speaker
Alan Clegg, ISC
Abstract This presentation will talk you through some of the realities concerning migrating from one DHCP server to another. Using real-world examples, Alan will address the issues that arise when making changes to core network infrastructure. The talk goes on to cover how to take an existing, working configuration for ISC DHCP, and use it to bootstrap a configuration for a Kea DHCP server, using ISC's Migration Assistant tool. Translating your existing configuration using this tool will also help you verify whether Kea supports all the features of ISC DHCP you are currently using.

Yihua He is a principal network architect in Yahoo. He holds a PhD degree in computer science and has numerous publications in highly cited computer network conferences and journals. In the past four years, he has focused on researching, designing, prototyping and implementing Yahoo's next generation data center networks. In this presentation, he would like to share the experience of a state-machine based configuration management system that automates daily operations of a data center network end-to-end.
Abstract There’s been a lot of talk about scaling and operational challenges of running datacenter CLOS networks, with some people saying that there isn’t enough information about exactly how to build them well, and others saying that it’s too hard, and that we need new protocols created to help with the problem. This talk will decloak the CLOS design that Yahoo used to underpin its datacenter networks starting 2012, describe the architectural tradeoffs of different CLOS designs, talk about specifics of the design selected, as well as describe lessons learned in building, scaling, and operating those networks.
