GÉANT Infoshare: RARE/FreeRTR Use Case: Open-Source Implementation of 5G User Plane Function (UPF)
The main function of UPF in 5G is the routing of traffic between the Radio Access Network (RAN) and other external networks. The RARE/FreeRTR use case not only offers the advantage that UPF packet processing can be offloaded for improved performance but also allows full control of traffic. The UPF implementation developed in the RARE/FreeRTR use case employs the Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) to communicate with the 5G Session Management Function (SMF) that is responsible for monitoring and managing PDU sessions. Forwarding and tunnelling of user data is achieved with the GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) and its encapsulation/decapsulation. Read more...

Infoshare: AI Chatbot for the GÉANT eAcademy
A Chatbot is a computer programme that simulates and processes human conversation, allowing humans to interact with digital devices, systems and platforms as if they were communicating with a real person. With the recent rise of Artificial Intelligence, these interactive assistants can be found almost everywhere to answer basic questions on services, invoices, incidents, etc. The NETDEV Incubator team, together with the Network eAcademy and the GLAD teams have been developing and experimenting with a new AI Chatbot, initially including it in the Network eAcademy training tracks on a testbed website, and with the aim of potentially extending it to other tracks in the GÉANT eAcademy.
In this Infoshare, the NETDEV incubator team will present the work developed to create and include an AI Chatbot in the Network eAcademy training tracks both from the user and from the service provider perspective. Read more...

NREN Fibre Infrastructure for Sensing
From an individual NREN perspective, fibre sensing has synergies with existing technologies that NRENs already have installed and provide as services in their networks. With fibre sensing, NRENs can detect physical changes in their networks. This is important for both time and frequency distribution and quantum networking, as well as for security and operational requirements. Detected disturbances – discovered through fibre sensing – can be used to correct the optical signals that are sent. Fibre sensing also helps to pinpoint disturbances or intrusions on the cables that the operational teams rely upon for connectivity and thus facilitates the protection of critical infrastructure.

Infoshare: Telemetry Module for the Workflow Orchestrator
Traditional monitoring of network devices was done by SNMP, however this was resource intensive for the router and slow. In recent years the gNMI interface has evolved into a mature alternative to SNMP. This interface allows users to stream data, at a very high resolution, from routers with a relatively low performance impact on the device. This paradigm shift in collecting monitoring data from devices has the potential to unlock new use-cases in how you could operate your network. When increasing the resolution of network telemetry, operators will need a scalable platform that can handle the increased number of events generated by the devices. Read more...

4th European perfSONAR User Workshop
The Fourth European perfSONAR User Workshop will bring together perfSONAR user and developer communities to explore use cases for the toolkit, share best practices, and discuss future features and the perfSONAR development roadmap.
The Workshop is being organised by the GÉANT GN5.1 project, Work Package 6 "Network Development", including the perfSONAR development team within Task 3.
perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths and help establish end-to-end usage expectations. There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed worldwide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance. This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams, and increasing productivity when utilising network resources.
The event is open to anyone with an interest in perfSONAR.

OAV Architecture Mapping Workshop
Analysing National Research and Education Network (NREN) architectures from an orchestration, automation and virtualisation (OAV) point of view using a common reference architecture helps align efforts between the NRENs, and find similarities in the way different functionalities and components are implemented, which in turn facilitates potential collaboration and future interoperability between organisations. The TM Forum Open Digital Architecture (ODA) was selected by the Network eAcademy team as a reference blueprint architecture that can be used for such cross-comparison. Several NRENs and GÉANT services have already mapped their architecture to the blueprint. This workshop will give some insights and help to map your own architectures, and will also be a place for discussion of OAV solutions and interoperability among the NRENs. Read more...

Quantum Key Distribution Simulation
Quantum Key Distribution is a technology at an early stage. A QKD link requires optical connection between the network nodes. For now, there are not many quantum hardware suppliers and the hardware available is very expensive. Network simulation appears a good solution to validate the different elements that made up a QKD service (network algorithm or protocol), to save a lot of money and time in creating a testbed and to start becoming familiar with this technology. The simulators are different levels of simulation (optical layer, the key distribution service, ...). Read more...
