Video: IP-Spoofing / Routing Best Practices Panel at RIPE 66

Can we stop the spoofing of IP addresses? Is the problem serious enough to warrant high-level attention? Are there best practices for routing that the larger community should be engaging in? What are the real challenges with stopping IP spoofing? These are the questions addressed in a recent post by our colleague Andrei Robachevsky, “Can we stop IP-spoofing in the Internet?” and a corresponding panel at the RIPE 66 event in Dublin, Ireland, in mid-May.

If you are are interested in this topic of how we increase the security and resiliency of routing, we highly recommend both reading Andrei’s article and listening to the panel presentation from Dublin. (Click on the image below to go to the RIPE66 page where you can view the video.)

Slides are also available but they were primarily used to frame the introduction to the panel. The real content is in the panel discussion itself.

Please visit our new Routing Resiliency/Security area to learn more about this general topic of how to make the Internet’s routing infrastructure more resilient and secure.

Watch LIVE Today – RIPE66 Talk On Best Current Operational Practices

RIPE 66 LogoCurious to know more about what we are interested in doing to help with sharing of best current operational practices (BCOP)? And with getting operator feedback incorporated into the standards process?

In about 90 minutes, at 16:00 local time in Dublin, Ireland, our team member Jan Zorz will be presenting on this topic and asking for feedback from the RIPE 66 attendees. You can watch and listen live at:

https://ripe66.ripe.net/live/main/

Jan’s slides about BCOP are available for viewing now.

Jan’s session is in the Plenary block from 16:00 – 17:30 and is listed after what also sounds like an interesting presentation from Michele McCann about “Building The Case For Africa”. I suspect his talk may happen around 16:30.  It will be recorded and available for later viewing.

For those who are here at RIPE 66, Jan will also be hosting a “Birds of a Feather” (BOF) session from 18:00-19:00 in the main room of the RIPE 66 meeting where he will be seeking further feedback from attendees.

If you would like to reach either Jan or I to meet with us while we are here at RIPE66, please send us an email at deploy360@isoc.org.

RIPE66 Next Week: Sessions on IPv6, DNS and Routing

RIPE 66 LogoNext week in Dublin, Ireland, the RIPE 66 Meeting will take place from May 13-17 and a number of Internet Society technical staff will be onsite including two of us from Deploy360: Jan Zorz and myself (Dan York).  The meeting plan has a great number of topics of interest, but two in particular that we’ll be tracking include:

Best Current Operational Practices – Efforts from the Internet Society
Monday, 13 May 16:00-17:00 (Irish Standard Time – currently UTC+1)
Jan will be speaking about the work he has been doing to explore how information from the operations community can best be made more widely available – and asking for feedback from those attending.

Panel: Seven Years of Anti-Spoofing: What Happened Since the RIPE Task Force and What Still Needs to be Done
Tuesday, 14 May 16:00-17:00
Our Internet Society colleague Andrei Robachevsky along with Benno Overeinder of NLnet Labs will be moderating this panel of network operators, security experts and vendors to dive into the issue of spoofed IP addresses and how they contribute to Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.   Given that there are known mitigation approaches such as BCP 38, why are DDoS attacks still so common? What can the larger operator community be doing to combat IP spoofing?

This last session is extremely relevant to the new Routing Resiliency/Security section of the site that we are seeking to build out, so we’ll definitely be listening to the conversations and feedback.

Naturally we’ll also be paying attention to these working group sessions:

The event will be streamed live and as soon as we have that information we’ll update this post.

We’re very much looking forward to the RIPE 66 event – if you are going to be there please do say hello!
