Chris Grundemann At NANOG62 This Week Talking BCOP

NANOG 62 LogoAre you at NANOG 62 in Baltimore, MD, this week?  If so, look for our Chris Grundemann (see team photo) who is there all week.

Chris is primarily at NANOG for the Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP) Track happening today from 4:30 to 6:00pm US EDT in the “Maryland Suites” room.   Chris was very active with this BCOP work in NANOG before joining the Internet Society and remains closely connected to what is going on.  As we’ve written about in the past, our team here is working to help facilitate the creation of regional BCOP documentation efforts around the globe and a good bit of what Chris expects to be doing at NANOG 62 is speaking with operators about what other BCOP documents could be written.

He’ll also be speaking with people about all the work we’re doing here to promote IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS and technologies to secure BGP.  If you’d like to meet up with him, please drop an email to deploy360@isoc.org and he can connect with you there at the show.

Beyond the BCOP session today, which is unfortunately not being webcast, there is an outstanding agenda of presentations this week, many of which will be webcast / live streamed for remote viewing.  Some of the sessions that hit the topics we cover here at Deploy360 include (slides are available for sessions that are already over, and the video recordings should be available soon):

Monday, October 6, 2014

  • Detecting and Quantifying IPv6-based SMTP Abuse
  • Project Turris  (an IPv6-capable and DNSSEC-validating home gateway/router from CZ.Nic)
  • Single Pass Load Balancing with Session Persistence in IPv6 Network

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

  • DNS Track (unfortunately not webcast)

Wednesday, October 8, 2014

  • Adventures in RPKI (non)Deployment

There are a great range of other talks on the NANOG 62 agenda that may be of interest, too.  I’m personally interested in the talk on Thursday (right before the RPKI talk) from Tim Stronge at TeleGeography about submarine cables as I just find that whole area intriguing.

All in all it should be a great event – and if you want to learn more about what we are doing and want to provide some feedback about what you could use help with to get started with IPv6, DNSSEC and other technologies, please do find Chris and say hello!
