Keynote: LightsOut: Climate Change Risk to Internet Infrastructure
Date/Time 10:30 AM to 11:15 AM
Location Regency C-F
Presenters
Speaker
Paul Barford, University of Wisconsin
Paul Barford is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. His research interests are in data science, Internet measurement and security. He is the founder of two successful Internet startup companies. He has published over 100 papers in forums such as the ACM Internet Measurement Conference and the ACM SIGCOMM Conference. He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, has a number of award-winning papers and his Internet Atlas project was named one of the 100 Greatest Innovations of 2017 by Popular Science Magazine. His hobby is taking naps.
Abstract Climate change is perhaps the most significant problem facing humanity. The dramatic rise in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere over the past 100 years is causing changes in weather patterns including increased likelihood of severe storms, forest fires and rapid rise in sea levels due to melting polar ice caps and thermal expansion of seawater. In this talk I will describe our recent study that considers the risks to Internet infrastructure in the US due to sea level rise. Our study is based on sea level incursion projections from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Internet infrastructure deployment data from Internet Atlas. We assess risks in terms of the amount and type of infrastructure that will be under water in different time intervals over the next 100 years. We find that 4,067 miles of fiber conduit will be under water and 1,101 nodes (e.g., points of presence and colocation centers) will be surrounded by water in the next 15 years. We further quantify the risks of sea level rise by defining a metric that considers the combination of geographic scope and Internet infrastructure density. We use this metric to examine different metro regions and service provider infrastructures that are at highest risk. Our on-going work is focused on expanding our risk analysis beyond the US, considering additional threats, assessing potential impact and developing mitigation strategies.

Virtualized PE for BGP/MPLS L3-VPN using Open-Source Software

Abstract In this presentation, we describe how we created an open-source software-based virtual Provider Edge (vPE) router for BGP/MPLS (RFC 2547bis) L3-VPN service. The RFC 2547bis L3-VPN service allows a service provider to interconnect (often geographically dispersed) sites of a customer. The service provider leverages a common IP/MPLS network to serve multiple customers such that (i) traffic of each customer remains isolated from others; and (ii) same IP address ranges can be used across customers without any interference. As the name indicates, the PE router sits at the edge of the service provider’s network, connecting to routers of one or more customers, and thus plays a critical role as the entry and exit point for traffic coming from and going to customer sites. Traditionally, the PE routers have been built as Physical Network Functions (PNFs). With the advent of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), there has been a growing interest in virtualizing PE routers not only to reduce cost but to also allow service providers to provide new and innovative services for customers. In this talk, we present our work in creating a virtualized L3-VPN PE (vPE) using open-source software. In our presentation we describe the open-source components used in the design of our vPE, along with their configurations. We also provide details of modifications we made to the open-source software to meet our objectives.

The Economics of Optical Networks
Date/Time 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM
Location Regency C-F
Presenters
Speaker
Richard A Steenbergen, WYLTK
Richard is the founder and CEO of Petabit Scale, an organization devoted to helping companies with unique large-scale networking challenges. A well-known innovator and serial entrepreneur, Richard has helped build some of the largest and most disruptive networks in the world for over two decades, and is a frequent contributor at NANOG as well as a variety of technical conferences. Prior to founding Petabit Scale, Richard was a founder and served as the CTO of PacketFabric, a highly disruptive "Network as a Service" platform which helped interconnect users across hundreds of major datacenters with a fully automated SDN-based platform. Before PacketFabric, Richard served as the CTO of GTT Communications, where he helped build the company into one of the largest and most competitive global Tier 1 networks in the world. Richard was also the founder and CTO of nLayer Communications, served as Chief Scientist for ServerCentral, and worked at AboveNet and NetVMG in senior network architecture roles.
Abstract Building on my previous optical talk, this presentation delves deeper to look at some of the fundamental concepts underpinning the cost structure for running complex optical networks, and some of the cost models used by the carriers who operate them.

Christopher Yoo
Abstract To increase routing security, governance bodies have encouraged adoption of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (“RPKI”). Despite this encouragement, adoption rates are low, especially in North America. Our talk will present research into the hypothesis—widespread in the network operator community—that legal issues pose barriers to adoption. We will describe barriers highlighted by dozens of interviewees within the network operator community. We will describe how RPKI adoption typically proceeds within organizational context and discuss how law affects network engineers' options. We will break the barriers into two groups. The first will deal with access to RPKI informational repositories to support route-filtering. We will offer relatively jargon-free background on the legal framework governing access to RPKI repositories and advance five proposals for reform: 1. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (“ARIN”) should consider removing the indemnification clause from its RPKI Relying Party Agreement (“RPA”). (However, contrary to the wishes of some members of the network operator community, it is reasonable for ARIN to maintain its RPA, in general.) 2. ARIN should consider altering its RPA’s prohibited conduct clause to enable broader research and analysis. 3. ARIN should consider revising that clause to enable transmission of machine-readable information to downstream parties for real-time routing. 4. The network operator community should publicize ARIN’s policy of dropping indemnification and choice-of-law clauses for certain government entities. 5. ARIN should consider publicizing concrete plans regarding RPKI service delivery. Our second group of barriers concerns access to RPKI private keys. We will describe and discuss them in detail. Centrally, we will propose that ARIN should consider enabling legacy holders to access private keys through a “non-member” services agreement that decouples the controversial issue of IP address space property rights from access to RPKI private keys.
