Join RIPE NCC IXP Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC, the RIPE NCC is hosting a hackathon focused on developing tools for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), in the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid. While the past three hackathons have specifically focused on RIPE Atlas, this event will include other data sources as well, such as: the Routing Information Service (RIS) and the PeeringDB. We will work on existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration in order to solve some of the challenges that operators have when making peering decisions, and to illustrate the impact of IXPs on the Internet routing and connectivity. We are looking for designers and developers, students and network operators, and of course colleagues from IXPs, to work together on hacking the new & old toolsets and visualizations! All source code developed during the hackathon will be publicly licensed and available on GitHub, and will be free for the entire community to use. -------------------- How to Apply -------------------- Interested? Learn more and apply online today! https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/ixp-tools/#!application-form *The application deadline is 15 September* Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is a (limited) travel funding available for certain categories of applicants. Please find more information in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/announcing-the-ixp-tool… We look forward to seeing you there!

IXP Best Practice Forum
by Michael Oghia 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Dear colleagues, Building on last year's IGF Best Practice Forum (BPF) on enabling environments for establishing successful IXPs <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/creating-an-e…>, this year's IXP BPF aims to identify success stories and list factors that can contribute to the development and success of IXPs as well as the broader Internet ecosystem. I am reaching out to the RIPE community in particular due to many of the efforts by both the community as well as RIPE NCC in promoting IXPs and interconnection in general <http://www.itu.int/en/Lists/consultation2015/Attachments/36/RIPE-NCC-IXP-IT…> . The IXP BPF is a consensus-driven, bottom-up, and inclusive collaborative effort, one that brings together professional expertise from across stakeholder groups in order to generate a practical, constructive, and relevant outcome document. We are currently soliciting feedback and brainstorming ideas, especially related to the scope and goals of this year's IXP BPF, and invite you to contribute: https://docs.google.com/document/d/144r3BIFX8QF6wg5m-QNdNfDcYHOVoic4fSMKYA4… . If you are not already involved, I encourage you to add suggestions to the document, share it among your networks, and contact Wim Degezelle, the IXP BPF project manager, or Sala Tamanikaiwaimaro, one of our IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) coordinators, for more information or if you have any questions. Additionally, you can sign up for the mailing list at: http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_ixps_intgovforum.org. Kind regards, -Michael __________________ Michael J.

PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan
by Job Snijders 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Dear Connect Working Group, Many of you are probably familiar with "PeeringDB", one of the most awesome resources for interconnection. What some of you might not know, is that PeeringDB is evolving from a bunch of php scripts into a real organisation with a board and appropiate legal registrations! And as PeeringDB stakeholder you can actually have say in how things are run! :-) Please review Chris Caputo's message below and subscribe yourself to the "pdb-gov" mailing list to stay informed about PeeringDB's governance. Being subscribed to the pdb-gov mailing list (in essence) means you are a 'member' and this will grant your organisation one vote in the upcoming elections. Kind regards, Job ----- Forwarded message from Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> ----- Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:49:12 +0000 (UTC) From: Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> To: pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com Subject: [PDB-gov] PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan Results of the survey which ended August 15th, along with anonymous comments are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/20150800_PDB_Survey_results.pdf 91 responses, of which 89 voted for the main question: PeeringDB functions should be performed by: - 35 votes, 39.33%: "An independent 501(C)(6) (Not for profit) PeeringDB, with it's own elected board and members" - 14 votes, 15.73%: "The existing global standards body OpenIX 501(C)(6) (Not for profit)" - 10 votes, 11.24%: "The existing regional organization NANOG 501(C)(3) (Not for profit)" - 30 votes, 33.71%: "I don't care just as long as PeeringDB keeps working" That looks like a clear vote for independence, given that the number for independence is 45% more than the combined votes for OpenIX and NANOG. Based on this, we are going to continue working toward becoming an independent non-profit corporation. In the interest of broad support, this is going to be done with transparency and inclusion using the pdb-gov mailing list. The plan: - If you want to participate in the process, please subscribe to the pdb-gov "governance" mailing list with your PeeringDB account email. http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov - Further emails will be sent to pdb-gov mailing list and posted to http://gov.peeringdb.com/ as appropriate. - pdb-gov is where the draft organizational documents will be discussed and refined. These draft documents are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/ - There will be elections for the initial Board of Directors. Candidacies along with max 300 word statements should be submitted to secretary(a)peeringdb.com prior to November 15th. Anyone can run for election to the initial Board. - The interim Secretary (tentatively Chris Caputo) will send out ballots to pdb-gov on November 15th, with voting to happen through November 30th. The org docs currently proscribe one ballot per member organization. The interim Secretary will break ties through public random means. The Secretary will not be eligible for election to the initial Board. - The initial Board will decide on officers, per the tentative Bylaws. The draft documents will then be signed and filed. _______________________________________________ Pdb-gov mailing list Pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov ----- End forwarded message -----

15 Oct '15

Dear friends of Connect-WG, in about a month's time we'll be meeting again in lovely Bucharest, Romania. We already have some presentations and updates for the agenda but we'd like to see some more. Topics like: - (de)peering automation - Who's sending me this traffic on an IXP? - I went to the desert and all I had was this lousy 4G signal would be most welcome. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can finish the agenda. Or you'll have to listen to Remco's $1000 IXP presentation again :) Kind regards, Remco and Florence Connect-WG co-chairs

Programmatic way to answer, "Who is sending me this stuff?"
by snash 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

If I receive some traffic at an IXpeering router interface, I might want to know how I got it. If it is a stream of bad traffic I might want to ask my upstream peer to help turn it off. How do I find out who did send it to me? If I capture a sample packet I could see the source MAC address. Now I have to identify who owns the device with that MAC. Is there any guidance from the IX operators on how to do this? I'm sure phone calls / emails to Ops teams are not cost effective for anyone. A common programmatic method across IXes would suit my use-case admirably. I'd like to hear from anybody who either has a method in an IX, or who would like a method to exist.

Minutes from last meeting and call for presentations
by Remco Van Mook 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Dear connect-wg friends, Time flies, and it’s only 8 weeks before we meet again in lovely Amsterdam! We’re working on the agenda for the next session which will again be on Wednesday at 11AM: if you have anything you’d like to present (or know somebody who should be presenting), please drop us a note at connect-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net<mailto:connect-wg-chairs@ripe.net> Also, please find below the draft minutes of the previous meeting - please have a look and let us know any comments. Kind regards, Remco and Florence Connect-WG Co-chairs Draft minutes from RIPE 69: -------- Connect WG Wednesday 5 November 2014 0. Opening and Welcome [1 mins] Co-chair Remco van Mook welcomed attendees. Appoint scribe, Agenda Bashing [5 mins] Remco thanked the scribe, chat monitor and tech support. He announced that Nick Hilliard wouldn’t be presenting agenda point 8. He asked if anyone had any AOBs to add to the agenda; there were no comments. 2. Working Group Charter Discussion [15 mins] Remco said there was rough consensus on the WG’s charter that was drafted at the BoF during RIPE 68 but that it needed to be polished. He asked for comments on the charter; there were none. Remco asked for comments on the proposed chairing process of the WG. Will Hargrave, LONAP, said he supported the suggested process. Remco asked that he and co-chair Florence be subscribed to the RIPE Working Group Chair mailing list. Remco announced that the WG charter and chair selection process was agreed. 3. Cooperating with Cooperation WG [10 mins] 4. Social Side of Internet Interconnection [15 mins] Uta Meier-Hahn The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/60-Pra%CC%88sentation-Social-side-of-… Andy Davidson, LONAP and Allegro Networks / IIX, commented that it the common belief is that the way you get around inherent weaknesses in the system is to just build more peering, more Internet, etc. The other motivation was about control: the more interconnection there is, people tend to believe it’s harder for any one system to take control. In order for the Internet to be open, it needs to be well peered. There were no further questions 5. IP Interconnection for Voice [15 mins] Martin John The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/52-aql_RIPE_69.pdf Maurice Deen, Facebook Inc., asked what was needed from interconnect facilities/IXPs to support voice and SMS traffic. Martin replied that it was about having good peering and good quality of service. SMS traffic is an over-the-top application that they run and voice is about having good peering, low latency/jitter so the more peering, the better service for the customer. Maurice asked if they were not need of QOE monitoring from IXPs. Martin said yes, the more monitoring, statistical data, the better. 6. CDN Best Practices [15 mins] Maurice Dean and Florence Lavroff The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/100-Working-with-CDNs-towards-BCP..pdf Jim Reid, RTFM, said having CDN best practices was a great idea and more information is needed about this. He asked if there is a BCP about it and how it would be published. He wondered whether it would be a RIPE document, IETF RFC or just a joint statement and let the ISP figure it out. Maurice said he wasn’t as familiar with RIPE’s processes with BCPs as he was with NANOG’s and there is a defined process there but he would love input on how to do this in the RIPE community. Jim replied that it’s easy with the RIPE community, you just have it published. The best thing is to have a working group declare consensus but there’s not a defined process, it’s light weight. It could be a working document and then you could have a more elaborate BCOP if you’re putting it through NANOG or other channels. Maurice thanked Jim for his input and said they could discuss it later. He added that this presentation was to garner interest. Joe Provo, speaking as himself, said that a CDN BCP would be a useful work product for this new working group. He added that many of the suggested BCOPs are just good peering practice so it might be just a good working document as well as on specific CDN usage. Joe also asked if they could encourage a standardised format for reporting across different parties because the external interfaces for reporting are currently opaque. Florence replied that that is something they could aim for in the long-term. She added that Google has documentation and hints for best practices with GC partners on its portal. Nina Bergason, Netflix, said she supported the proposal and it should be further discussed. She asked that the document go both ways (ISPs and CDNs). She added that communication between ISPs and CDNs is very important, there are things CDNs can do to work together better with ISPs. She added that Netflix has good information on their website on how to make the site work well in a network but awareness is low so there is work to do. Maurice replied that is a bilateral proposal with a goal to reach a common understanding of best practices and he’s interested in input on how that can be achieved Piotr Wydrych, AGH University of Science and Technology, asked to what extent they would cover exchange of info on topology between ISPs and CDNS. If it’s the case, Piotr would like to raise awareness of ALT O protocol, standardised at IETF in September. Protocol tries to extract info about topology and passes it to 3rd party to align overlay to underlay topology. He added that AS hop number doesn’t have to be a metric, it’s a flexible protocol. Andy Davidson commented that there may be too much reliance on DNS to solve the problem of traffic going to the wrong place and perhaps a generic page or cookie might be a better solution. Maurice said DNS resolver was just an example and that it simple. most are far more advanced. How we can add further signals is in scope. Florence added, re: DNS, important for CDN, do not map content to the end user with DNS but with BGP. Florian Streibelt, Technical University Berlin, said that the DNS extension mentioned earlier is where you put the client’s address into a DNS request and many CDNs so like the idea of doing HTTP requests and redirects because of old certificates and other things. They really want to have the first contact as a redirect by DNS, so that’s why they often use it. 7. Euro-IX & IX-F [5 mins] Bijal Sanghani The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/102-connect-wg-ripe69.pdf Remco jokingly asked what an IXP is and to explain it in four pages. Bijal said it wasn’t as simple. 8. The Update Session [5 mins] EURO-IX BCP Elisa Jasinska, netflix [There was no presentation available for download] Job Snijders, NTT, said the schema looks very useful and thanked Elisa and Nick for putting effort into it. He added that it looked complete and contains exactly the data he would use to automate what he currently scrapes using other means. From the peering DB side, he said he’d like to see if they could expose the data according to the same schema, maybe sooner than v2 and just piggy back on the current data model. He said he’d see what he could do to help. Elisa replied that her and Bijal had discussed how Euro-IX could use the same format for importing the data back which would reinforce the schema and the usability of it. Vesna Manojlovic, RIPE NCC, said she was grateful for this work and that they have a project called open IP maps which is crowd sourcing geolocation information for Internet infrastructure and this would be really useful information to import into their data set. 9. Open Mic and Feedback [4 mins] Remco asked for feedback on the agenda format. Carsten Schiefner, DENIC, said he liked Uta’s presentation because it was an outlook beyond the usual parameter. He said it would be good to have those kinds of presentations in future, at least one per meeting.

Regarding connect-bof mailing list
by Remco Van Mook 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi all, There seems to be a bit of confusion as all of you have probably received an automated notification earlier today that you were no longer subscribed to the connect-bof mailing list. The reason this happened is because the BoF ceased to exist and the mailing list will be archived. All activity has moved over to the connect working group, and the connect-wg mailing list. As per my welcome email, please update filters where applicable or unsubscribe if you’re no longer interested.
