This work might interest some of you. Let us know your feedback! https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Job Snijders <job(a)ntt.net> Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2017 at 23:16 Subject: draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00 To: <grow(a)ietf.org>, <draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling(a)ietf.org> Dear GROW, With this BCP Internet-Draft we hope to draw some attention to good practises which can be applied by IP networks or IXPs to mitigate negative impact caused by maintenance operations on lower layer networks. The idea is to promote the concept of breaking the control-plane in a controlled fashion, before actually breaking the data-plane. Regarding the "Voluntary BGP Session Teardown Recommendations" - we all too often see operators do the equivalent of 'yanking the cable out of its socket' while not allowing any time for reconvergence. As far as I am aware, there is no documentation which recommends to shutdown BGP sessions and allow for some time for the traffic to subside due to rerouting, and then commence with the maintenance. Some background on the "Involuntary BGP Session Teardown Recommendations": a number of years ago an (at the time novel) approach was presented on how to reduce the negative impact of IXP maintenance. Since then the idea gained popularity and is applied at more and more IXPs. The video + pdf are available here: https://ripe67.ripe.net/archives/video/116/ The approaches outlined in this document may not be required in every network topology, for instance some IXPs have fantastic 'make before break' methodologies accomplished through a layer of photonic switches. I'd like to ask the chairs for a 10 minute slot in GROW's session a IETF 98 to present on this draft. Kind regards, Job ps. Some may point out that this is a rampant layering violation, to which I will say: "yes". ;-) ----- Forwarded message from internet-drafts(a)ietf.org ----- Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2017 14:00:18 -0700 From: internet-drafts(a)ietf.org To: i-d-announce(a)ietf.org Subject: I-D Action: draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Mitigating Negative Impact of Maintenance through BGP Session Culling Authors : Will Hargrave Matt Griswold Job Snijders Nick Hilliard Filename : draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2017-03-12 Abstract: This document outlines an approach to mitigate negative impact on networks resulting from maintenance activities. It includes guidance for both IP networks and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). The approach is to ensure BGP-4 sessions affected by the maintenance are forcefully torn down before the actual maintenance activities commence.

Research project and survey: Network filtering and IP spoofing
by Franziska Lichtblau 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hi, we are a team of researchers from TU Berlin [1] working on a measurement project to assess the ramifications of traffic with spoofed source IP addresses in the Internet. This is a follow-up to the talk I gave in this WG in Madrid. As I got a lot of positive and encouraging feedback after my talk we are continuing this project. To better understand the operational challenges that you as network operators face when deploying (or not deploying) source IP address filtering techniques, we'd like to invite you to participate in our survey. If you could spare 5 minutes of your time, we'd be delighted if you could fill out our survey form and tell us about your current practices regarding network filtering. To participate, please visit: [2] http://filteringsurvey.inet.tu-berlin.de/ If you have any concerns or questions, you can reply on-list or contact us via [3] filtering-survey(a)inet.tu-berlin.de. We will only publish anonymized results of this study and once we've analyzed your feedback we'll publish a digest of the results on-list if you're interested. As you are probably subscribed to more network operator lists and WG lists you might encounter this mail multiple times. We apologize for cross-posting, but in order to get results that will give us meaningful insights we need the broadest coverage we can get. Thank you very much for your support!

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.
