Next Generation Data Center Fabrics: Do New Technologies meet Operator Needs?
Date/Time 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM
Location Renaissance Ballroom
Presenters
Speaker
Roger Marks, EthAirNet Associates
Roger Marks of EthAirNet Associates is Chair of the IEEE 802 “Network Enhancements for the Next Decade” Industry Connections Activity ("Nendica") within the IEEE 802.1 Working Group. He has served on the Executive Committee of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee since 1998, currently as Second Vice Chair. He initiated the IEEE 802.16 Working Group and has served as its chair since inception. Marks received his A.B. degree from Princeton University and his Ph.D. from Yale University. He served as a physicist in the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology for 17 years. He is currently interested in novel solutions for data center networking.
Abstract New technologies are emerging to improve the performance and scale of large cloud-centric data center networks as they evolve to address new and popular application scenarios such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Online Data Intensive services (OLDI). Some of these technologies are advancing through the standardization process and could soon be broadly available to industry. Other new technologies are in the research phase and would benefit from a review with operators. This track will overview the recent developments, particularly from the perspective of the IEEE 802 and IETF standards committees. It will also encourage the participants to discuss problems and inefficiencies in their current data center operations, trying to identify which problems are currently being addressed and which are in need of new solutions or further developments. The track is a followup to a talk at NANOG 75 ("Lossless Data Center Networks: Opportunities for NANOG Engagement with IEEE 802 Nendica") and will seek to lay the groundwork for future activity at NANOG 77, if deemed appropriate. The track will feature presentations by 3 speakers and Q&A with the attendees.

Demystifying IPv6 over MPLS: Tackling the challenge of connecting IPv6 islands
Date/Time 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM recorded
Location Congressional AB
Presenters
Speaker
Kambiz Agahian
Abstract In this 90-minute session we will be tackling a major issue and it is NOT yet-another IPv6 exhaustion case. We understand making every single router dual stack is a real pain and can open the doors to new bugs, security vulnerabilities and entails a steep learning curve but still the IPv6 customers are knocking on our doors with urgent needs. So that, in this session we’ll demystify two little-known architectures namely 6PE and 6VPE and we will demonstrate how they can enable operators to keep their current infrastructure on IPv4 yet still support islands of IPv6 locally and globally in a quick and non-invasive fashion. This session is aimed at tearing down the gruesome walls between the traditional network operators and the world of IPv6 MPLS to satisfy the growing needs to IPv6 using what has been proven and known to the industry for over a decade. We’ll show that most operators are under negligible pressure to upgrade the cores and backbones in order to support IPv6. Yet, they are under tremendous pressure to support the new addressing on the edges of their networks. This could be a manufacturer needing IPv6 in their product testing labs, a software engineering company running IPv6 only for their development teams or even a small MPLS VPN service provider approached by customers about their IPv6 enabled sites or even access to the IPv6 Internet. PRESENTERS Kam Agahian (Qualcomm – Senior Manager of Network Engineering). CCIEx2 ; 20+ years of networking experience. Shahid Shafi (Qualcomm – Director of IT Networking). CCIEx3, 20+ years of networking experience.

David holds a J.D. from Yale Law School and an A.B. magna cum laude from Brown University. He was born and raised in Chicago.
Abstract As any reader of the NANOG mailing list knows, the push to implement the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) has gained momentum over the past year. AT&T has begun dropping invalid routes, NTT uses RPKI data to generate filters, and Cloudflare has developed new validation software. At the same time as these technical efforts have been undertaken, the American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN) has also undertaken a review of its legal arrangements regarding RPKI. This lightning talk will provide brief background to the uninitiated and then update attendees on discussions held regarding RPKI at the recent ARIN meeting in Barbados. It will describe the key issues under discussion and the potential approaches ARIN might take to resolving them. It will also highlight recommendations about the best potential approaches to resolving these issues, based on research conducted with Christopher Yoo and funded by National Science Foundation Award #1748362.

Lightning Talk: DNS Flag Day 2020
Date/Time 1:40 PM to 1:50 PM
Location Renaissance Ballroom
Presenters
Speaker

Eddy has over 20 years of DNS, DHCP and sysadmin experience. He was a systems analyst and hostmaster for the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN) for over a decade. At ISC, Eddy has delivered DNS + DNSSEC consulting, configuration audits and technical training.
Abstract I presented on DNS Flag Day 2019 at NANOG75. The 2019 Flag Day was a success with very little disruption to production DNS services. This success has emboldened the DNS community to propose a second Flag Day to be held in 2020 (date TBD). The DNS community did receive feedback from many operators that enough notice was not given for the 2019 event. This talk is an attempt to not repeat that same issue. I'll discuss what is being remedied with the 2020 Flag Day: problems with IP fragmentation of DNS packets IP fragmentation is a problem on the Internet today, especially when it comes to large DNS messages. These issues can be fixed by honoring an EDNS buffer size that will not cause fragmentation and by allowing DNS to switch from UDP to TCP when larger buffer sizes are not enough.

Abstract Understanding analytical engines is essential to any analytical product regardless of market. Network analytic tools are no exception. Analytical engines greatly influence use case definitions. Engine defines use case types, and at the same time, limits use case types. Network analytics is plagued by the same restrictions – all require an analytics engine: - Peering analysis - DDOS detection - Subscriber Analytics - Routing analytics This presentation will look at the general available engines and their benefits and detriments. It will also help you think of your current deployments and future analytics purchases to help understand if the product engine is up to the task.
