Gerrit Wenig
In 2020 I joined Deutsche Telekom as IP/MPLS-Backbone Architect, working on the Network Architecture of the IP/MPLS Backbone of Deutsche Telekom as global Tier-1 ISP.
I'm part of the Engineering Teams for MPLS Core Development and the development for IP-Transit and Peering services of AS 3320.
I'm involved in the Introduction of RPKI at the Deutsche Telekom global Network AS 3320 and also working on the migration to Segment Routing (SR-MPLS).
Before I joined Deutsche Telekom, I started my Network Engineering career 25 years ago in 1999 at UUNET Germany and stayed with this ISP during all the company transformations from UUNET via MCI to Verizon until end of 2016.
At the beginning of 2017 I moved on to 1&1 Versatel and joined there the Platform & Network Design Team until 2020, when I moved on to Deutsche Telekom.
During this journey I was always working on Backbone Engineering Topics looking into MPLS Traffic Engineering and also Internet BGP routing policies.

This presentation talks about the Project phases, the implementation and experiences we made during the introduction of RPKI on a global Tier-1 ISP Network.
This includes some technical details and organizational view for the continuous RPKI operation.
