Agenda

Remote LAB | Urs Baumann (INS (HSR))
For our Cloud Infrastructure Bachelor module we have built a OpenStack environment. The students can execute their assessments in this environment. For a network course we have developed eight virtual pods. The participants can deploy the labs with a web deployment tool. In the presentation I will explain how this infrastructure works and what the challenges are.
NETCONF/YANG: the orchestration revolution | Roque Gagliano (Cisco)
Additionally, I do have a short demo that I can also do during my slot using a Cisco product that implements NETCONF/YANG. The idea is to show how to use YANG to model a simple L2VPN multi-vendor network. Let me know if a demo could be part of the presentation.
Trends in DC architectures | Michael Pergament (Juniper)
This slot will cover recent trends in DC architectures, discussing how Juniper approaches the challenges we face in access, aggregation/core and DC Interconnect. Specific use cases will be illustrated based on new platforms (QFX5xxx, QFX10k) representing universal building blocks for any type of DC architecture (MC-LAG, L2/L3 Fabric, EVPN/VXLAN, MPLS-based DC).
SwissIX update | Ulf Kieber (SwissIX)
SwissIX update
UC - Trends & Challenges | Roland Mamie & Marco Stieger) (zebbra AG)
Is the development process in Unified Communication already done (is UC dead?) or will there be new trends, challenges and innovations? We think so and want you to present possible trends and challenges in the further innovation of UC ...
- Integration of UC with SDN
- WebRTC (UC going to the browser)
- Video
- SECURITY
- What is going to happen to the PSTN?
- UC Monitoring - Do it the smart way (Demo)
Sponsor slot (tbd) | tbd (Brocade)
promised to be very technical ;-)
Hacking Arista appliances for fun and profit | Romain Aviolat (Kudelski)
it's about presenting an unusual setup that we designed for my company, we have special networking requirements for applications like 10Gb port-scanners, DOS-as-a-service, ... and our edge routers must be able to handle that kind of traffic.
the 101 of 100G interoperability | Thomas Weible (FlexOptix)
Self-explanatory (comment by Simon ;)
Your cache DNS server also requires your attention | Nicolas Cartron (Efficient iP)
Nowadays, most of the DDoS attacks making the news are targeted against Authoritative DNS servers.
While those attacks are the easiest to realise, as Authoritative DNS servers are public, it is important not to lose track of Cache/Recursive servers
(As few PCs or laptops within the LAN can take it down very easily if they are infested by botnets).
This presentation will focus on the Recursive/Cache part of DNS Security, and will take as example a specific attack that EfficientIP has named
"Sloth Domain Attack", to illustrate how vulnerable a Recursive/Cache server is, and how easy it is to bring it down.
We will also discuss some ideas and the necessity to take a new approach when dealing with DNS attacks on Cache/Recursive servers.
DevOps | André Keller (VSHN AG)
Many SP's have Servers around running Tools and Services such as Rancid, Icinga, Cati, LibreNMS, DHCP, DNS, etc...
Usually setup at some time and never patched. DevOps, Puppet, Configuration Managment in general can help to structure the
chaos. With real life examples, Puppet Code and maybe a small demo we show you how it could be done.
Social Event | Everyone (SwiNOG Community)
Yeah - you all know this one ;-) – never gets boring
Looking so forward to seeing all of you !!!!
