| Abstract |
Karl Auerbach has agreed to do a keynote for Nanog 77 and has sent in two presentation proposals, this is the first one. The title of the first potential is
" As the Internet becomes a lifeline grade utility, what is the impact on operators?"
While perhaps not as well know as Dr Vixie, the two are well known to each other. Karl is currently the CTO of Interworking Labs, and his bio is available on Wikipedia

- Ron Bonica, Juniper Networks
- Ron Bonica is a Distinguished Engineer at Juniper Networks, specializing in IPv6 and Segment Routing. He is active in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), having authored or co-authored twenty RFC documents and served three two-year terms as co-director of the IETF Operations and Management Area. Ron currently co-chairs the IETF V6OPS and OPSEC Working Groups.
Prior to joining Juniper Networks, Ron was employed by a major Internet Service Provider and operated Layer 3 Virtual Private Network service for U.S. Government customers.
|
| Abstract |
This is a proxy for the author : Ron Bonica ([email protected]) who is having issues getting to the pctool.
SRv6+ is an IPv6 architecture that supports traffic engineering and network programmability. Specifically, it supports both strict and loose source routing using a new Routing Header type, called the Compressed Routing Header (CRH). It also supports per-segment and per-path service instructions, using new IPv6 Destination Options. Per-segment service instructions support service function chaining, while per path service instructions support decapsulation and VPN forwarding.
SRv6+ differs from its predecessors in that a) it adheres strictly to the IPv6 addressing architecture [RFC 4291], b) it adheres strictly to IPv6 [RFC 8200] processing rules, c) it leverages existing IPv6 protocol machinery to the greatest degree possible. SRv6+ also differs from its predecessor it that it is optimized for ASIC-based forwarding devices.

Getting Started with Modern Time Series Database and Grafana

| Abstract |
== Intro ==
Telemetry / Monitoring, also known as Observability, as been a hot topic in the software industry for few years. With so many moving pieces, the mindset around telemetry shifted from I know what I want to monitor to I don’t know yet what might be important to understand the next outage. It seems obvious but previously the tools available to monitor applications and system had some limitations that would limit how much we can explore the data after the fact but most importantly how much we could analyze, correlate or compare different datasets. This new requirement drove a new set of tools that changed the paradigme around monitoring.
The goal of this talk is to help Network Engineer to get started with modern Time serie database (prometheus) and associated visualization tools like Grafana.
After the introductoin, there will be a tutorial or guided lab that will show the audience how to create a dashboard in grafana and teach/demonstrate some examples of queries on Prometheus, a popular time serie database. |

| Abstract |
What I would like to tell about is the usage of MPLS in our Data Center Fabric built with commodity switches based on merchant silicon. MPLS is not a typical case for data centers due to its considerable complexity. This is what people generally think of deploying MPLS in data centers. However, we managed to get rid of complexity and I believe to obtain the elegant design. We use MPLS everywhere – in our built in-house network appliances, simple Linux hosts, virtual machines and of course in network fabric itself. What proves this architecture is good is that our network fabric has been successfully operating for these years. In my presentation, I would like to share our experience and describe the control plane used, the huge benefits we have received, the new great approaches we have been able to take and how scalability issues have been resolved because of MPLS. Moreover, of course, what fanny and severe bugs on the network equipment we have encountered. |

Automating "Network Ready for Use" Testing

| Abstract |
Automating “Network Ready for Use” Testing
This tutorial will showcase an approach using the “pytest” open-source tool to validate operational states of the network. The content will consist of a presentation and instructor live Python coding. The presentation will cover motivation for NRFU automated testing, introduction of pytest core-concepts, and discussion of network testing approaches. The instructor will live code each aspect of using pytest that covers: defining custom pytest CLI options, loading per-device test-cases, using pytest CLI options for filtering tests, and generating HTML visual based reports. The audience is expected to have a working understanding of Python, however this tutorial is not a hands-on coding workshop.
User-Story:
As a network engineer I need to ensure that the network is ready for use - whether it is for a new buildout, making changes, or fixing issues. Right now I am manually running all the “show commands” and visually inspecting the output. Doing this process manually is often difficult due to the number of checks I need to perform and managing all the complex data relationships that makeup network services. As a result, mistakes are made and I am concerned I am not testing everything that I need to. I need software to automate these tests and give me a pass / fail report. In the event of failures the report needs to give me the information I need so I can take corrective actions.

Testing Method of Procedure (MOP) before applying to production environment is always a challenge. Traditional, MOP is tested in small lab environment which does not closely to represent production which can lead to issue when apply to production. What if you can test your MOP in a replica of production? Open Network Emulator (OnE) - http://aka.ms/opennetworkemulator allow us to achieve this. |

| Abstract |
A solution that has worked for 18 years, and is still improving...
...It is important to understand some of the underlying issues inherent in the development of networks on the sovereign nations of the American Indian reservations in the United States. Every situation is different and the concept of a cookie-cutter network solution does not apply.
From cultural preservation, to the geography of 573 Federally recognized nations, to the missing 8000 middle miles providing access to the rest of the world, and the limited access to affordable spectrum to the community, dictates the design strategies to bring this 21st century resource to North America’s first people...
...a more focused look at what Indian Country is calling "the First Mile."
