Most of the time the errors are not syntax related but semantic errors or environmental impacts because of the configuration change. Containerlab is versatile and can help you to replicate a testing environment for your needs. It can integrate also with hypervisors if the network vendor only has virtual images of his network OS. * [containerlab](https://containerlab.dev/quickstart/) * [podman](https://podman.io/docs/installation) * [git](https://git-scm.com/) Please bring with you a VM with Ubuntu **22.04** Laptops with Proxies and no direct internet access will be problematic.

This year we will cover the basics and especially the filtering again BUT we plan to include a hands-on lab which we couldn't supply last year. **Full abstract:** In network engineering there are a lot of rules and best practices, some written and some not. In this workshop we condense the most important knowledge we have accumulated over many years of running different service provider networks. We'll take a look at fundamental architecture decisions, traffic engineering and routing security for data and control plane. There will be lots of real world config examples and plenty of time for questions and discussion. Who is this for? It is intended for people who (want to) run small to medium sized ISP networks. A basic understanding of routing concepts is going to be helpful. If you've configured a bgp session before, this workshop is for you.

We want to shed some light on the traffic profile visible from an access-network perspective. So far, the market has not seen a major uptake in Apple Relay services, it is still in the permille range of total traffic. However, operators have voiced concerns about how such services, if deployed widespread, could impact the ability to manage capacity, traffic and availability effectively. The architecture is well documented by Apple and the three CDNs operating egress-proxies, Akamai, Cloudflare and Fastly. But how does the traffic look in real life? Does content localization work as expected? Such questions are yet to be adequately answered. We used flow-based data from affiliated networks to investigate the parts of the traffic flows which are visible to an access network and applied the documentation of the relay architecture to understand what we see. What we can clearly see is that traffic behaves less structured compared to a comparable non-relay stream. Also, debugging is extremely challenging, as the Private Relay design is purposely effectively hindering an end-to-end view for any involved party. denog15-37329-private-relay-services-insights-from-an-access-network-perspective Hari Jayaraman en false Presentation: Analyzing private relay localization https://pretalx.com/denog15/talk/9T8N8W/ https://pretalx.com/denog15/talk/9T8N8W/feedback/ Auditorium Talk 2023-11-20T14:30:00+01:00 14:30 00:30 Communication networks are vital for society and network availability is therefore crucial. There is a huge potential in using network telemetry data and machine learning algorithms to proactively detect anomalies and remedy network problems before they affect the customers. In practice, however, there are many steps on the way to get there. In this presentation we would like to share the status of an ongoing research collaboration with the purpose of simplifying the operation and increase the availability of fiber access networks. The research project is part of a CELTIC_NEXT flagship research program (AI-NET) that has the overall target of accelerating the digital transformation in Europe by intelligent network automation. The project (“Palantir”) consists of two parts: A field trial in a Swedish municipality network where telemetry data from more than 500 access switches, connecting more than 12000 households, are collected and analyzed for anomalies using machine learning. (The field trial is planned to be expanded to cover 1000 access switches during the project and synthetic errors are planned to be injected to emulate error situations.) The second part is a demonstrator to be set up at Fraunhoffer HHI in Berlin (starting in October 2023). The demonstrator covers an end to end network and aims to demonstrate all aspects of the research program. In the presentation we would like to describe our field trial and demonstrator, share our experiences in collecting and analyzing telemetry data in the field and describe our conclusions so far. We would also like to open up for a discussion with the DENOG15 participants on what real life error situations that causes the most problems in fiber access networks and whether they would be suitable for AI detection (and potentially also for error emulation in our field trial). Project Palantir is a collaboration between: • Fraunhofer HHI (German Research Institute): Demonstrator • Lunet (Swedish operator - open access municipality network): Field trial • RISE (Independent Swedish research institute): Field trial • Savantic (Swedish AI specialists): Field trial • Waystream (FTTX vendor): Field trial and demonstrator denog15-36953-towards-automated-and-proactive-anomaly-detection-in-fiber-access-networks Johan SandellBehnam ShariatiChristian BurkDr. David Hock en false Towards automated and proactive anomaly detection Towards automated and proactive anomaly detection - paper https://pretalx.com/denog15/talk/8AN7PV/ https://pretalx.com/denog15/talk/8AN7PV/feedback/ Auditorium Talk 2023-11-20T15:00:00+01:00 15:00 00:15 News from IXPs in Germany As introduced 2021 we collect some parameters from all IXPs, which are active in Germany.

Beyond its initial capabilities with various access protocols, it has been enhanced to support all major routing protocols, including BGP, ISIS, OSPF, and LDP. In this presentation I will delve into the BNG Blaster routing protocol implementation, exploring their functionalities, and potential applications. Moreover, I will provide insights into the versatile usage of the BNG Blaster from different perspectives, including vendors like us here at RtBrick, open-source routing applications, network integrators, and operators. The BNG Blaster operates under the BSD license as an open-source project sponsored by RtBrick, emphasizing a strong commitment to the community.

Time synchronisation is used in various areas: from own networks to trading transactions in the financial sector. Depending on the type of application, it requires high accuracy. Today's solutions are mostly based on satellites (e.g. GNSS, GPS) and therefore exposed to various risks, including hacker attacks or technical problems. Synchronisation information can be provided in various ways and different standards though. New application areas such as 5G and edge cloud evolution are creating additional drivers and requirements for highly accurate time. Based on the company's history, Deutsche Telekom has its own synchronisation network, which can be operated independently of GNSS systems. We would like to give a brief insight into the history of time synchronisation and its use cases. denog15-36983-timesync Sebastian BeckerClaudia Uhlich en false https://pretalx.com/denog15/talk/QJCLLD/ https://pretalx.com/denog15/talk/QJCLLD/feedback/ Auditorium Talk 2023-11-21T11:00:00+01:00 11:00 00:30 Reeling under the blows of the Russian assault on Ukraine and the ever-increasing threats to networks and utilities, the European regulatory regime for critical infrastructures is undergoing profound changes. Both cyber and physical security of essential service providers are covered by the recent EU directives NIS 2 and CER, with several additional initiatives targeting specific areas: DORA (the operational resilience act for the financial sector), the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act for secure hardware and software, the EU certification scheme for cloud services and more. All are either subject to being transposed into national legislation or effective immediately all over the Union – and they hold consequences for all types of industries, telecommunication and digital infrastructure being just the most prominent sector to be held responsible to rules and regulations regarding their perimeter and information security. Network operators are particularly exposed to the new rulesets – their criticality does not rely solely on their services being considered critical in their own right: they inherit the requirements from their customers when those are within the scope of critical infrastructure regulation. The entire sector of digital infrastructure, plus managed service and security providers, is undergoing the most significant change, with implementing acts to specify technical and methodological requirements from the NIS 2 directive being prepared. What does all that mean for operators? More money to spend on security, eventually, since the budget increase necessary to fulfil the obligations is estimated at anywhere between 15 and 25 percent compared to before NIS 2 and CER. Technical compliance for network operations not only requires implementing security measures – you need to prove it via audits, certificates, mandatory reporting. This talk is going to take you on a speed run through the maze of legal and regulatory thickets both in the European Union and especially in Germany. Entertaining as it may seem, there may be dizzying side effects from the drastic changes in both direction and speed.
