After nearly 3 weeks at home (my longest stretch since last August), I’m off to join the already-in-progress APRICOT 2015 in Fukuoka, Japan. For those who don’t know, the annual APRICOT (Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies) is a: Ten-day long summit consist[ing] of seminars, workshops, tutorials, conference sessions, birds-of-a-feather (BOFs), and other […]

Today I’m re-reading an IETF RFC that was published just this month. RFC 7454 is titled “BGP Operations and Security” and that’s exactly what it’s about. The documents’ abstract does a great job of summarizing the content: This document describes measures to protect the BGP sessions itself such as Time to Live (TTL), the TCP […]

It feels like I just got back from ION Sri Lanka. Perhaps that’s because I’ve only been home about 9 days! There’s no time to spare though, as we here on the Deploy360 team are ramping up into 2015. So, off I go to San Antonio tomorrow for NANOG 63! The change in calendar means […]

Wow! What an amazing year 2014 has been. Here at Deploy360 we’ve been extremely busy! Whether it was organizing meetings, hosting meetings, creating content, curating content, public speaking, researching, meeting new people, making plans with old friends, or traveling between all of these things (so many planes), we’ve barely had time to catch our breath […]

Two weeks ago I let you all know that I would be presenting our Operators and the IETF Internet-Draft at IETF 91. What a busy two weeks it’s been! Between all of the amazing presentations and conversations in Honolulu last week, and then hosting our first ever ION Tokyo this Monday, we’re all just now […]

For the past several months, the DO team has been pouring over the survey results, continuing our discussions with operators around the world, and also discussing (and debating) how to put all of that together into a document. At the end of the day we decided to stay out of the way as much as possible, letting the results (and respondents) speak for themselves. I invite you to take a read and let us know what you think. I believe this is a great place for us to connect existing efforts and conversations, and hopefully start new ones as well. That discussion will continue in person next week. First on Sunday in the IEPG meeting, then again Wednesday morning, at a bit greater length, in the OpsAWG (Operations Area Working Group) meeting.

I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at the 1.0 meeting of the Hong Kong Network Operators Group (HKNOG) next week! The full-day HKNOG 1.0 meeting will be held on Monday, 01 September 2014 in East Hong Kong. This is a free to attend event, so if you are a network engineer based […]

AfPIF is the African Peering and Interconnection Forum and this year it is being held in Dakar, Senegal from 26 to 28 August, 2014. The 5th African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AFPIF) will be held over a 3-day period in August in Dakar, Senegal to discuss the future of peering in an era where the […]

After a long summer at home it is time for me to once again take to the road, or rather the skies. My first trip for the second half of this year will take me to Washington, D.C. next week for the Digital Government Institute’s 8th Annual Government IPv6 & Networking Conference. To be held […]
