13:50-14:20

BGPlay and RIPEstat - Christian Teuschel, RIPE NCC

RIPEstat is a large-scale information service and the open data platform of the RIPE NCC. This will be an introduction to RIPEstat with a focus on BGPlay, one of its most popular visualisation tools for BGP data.

Flash talks

Switch have been researching on how the network could survive power  shortages/rolling blackouts this winter.

Belwü, together with researchers at Osnabrück University and Deutsche Telekom is doing measurements in their lab to answer questions like "How much power does an idling port use?", "How much power goes into forwarding the packets?" or "Can power be saved by disabling ports at night?".

15:45-16:05

Telemetry in RNP - Guilherme Ladvocat, RNP (remote)

The RNP (Brazilian NREN) Network Operations team have been working with Telemetry since 2019. The benefits of implementing this technology proved that it is more reliable and scalable compared to the SNMP protocol. Since then, we have been working to move from the legacy protocol to the new one, but as early adopters, we encountered limitations and issues in the way. So in the talk, we would like to share our path/experience to implement telemetry in our network and what we are still working on.

16:05-16:25

P4-based flow monitoring system - Pavle Vuletić, University of Belgrade

P4 became a popular buzzword in networking community several years ago, because network device programability enables new applications, autonomic networking and network operations, in-band network telemetry and other new network features. However, are the NRENs ready for such a shift, or they will continue to procure complete solutions? What does it take to develop a P4-based application? What are the skill gaps NRENs might be facing? In this talk we will share our experience from developing a network flow monitoring system capable of capturing unsampled network flows at 10G that leverages P4 capabilities of Netronome NICs. We will describe the system and the results we got, but also share a series of challenges we faced during the development.
