RIPE 67 CFP extended deadline 9 September 2013
by Benno Overeinder 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Dear Colleagues, A list of currently accepted RIPE 67 Plenary talks, BoFs, Tutorials and Workshops is now published at: https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/draft-programme/ There are still few slots remaining for a final RIPE 67 programme and RIPE Programme Committee will accept new proposals until *9 September 2013*. This is our last call for you to submit your proposals. See https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/cfp/ or find the original CFP below. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz for RIPE Programme Committee ------------------ Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 67 will take place from 14-18 October 2013 in Athens, Greece. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 67. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: * IPv6 deployment * Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations * Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses * Data centre technologies * Network and DNS operations * Internet governance and regulatory practices * Network and routing security * Content delivery * Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/i-want-to-present/presentation-formats/ Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for "lightning talks", which are selected immediately before or during the conference. The following general requirements apply: * Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 4 August 2013, using the meeting submission system (https://ripe67.ripe.net/submit-topic/). Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. * Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe67.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice - in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session. * Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format (https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/i-want-to-present/presentation-formats/) * Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators. * Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

protect DNS servers from dns amplification attacks
by Michael Hock 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hi there, I need to set up a DNS server which is accessible from the whole internet. I have not chosen a DNS software yet, so maybe we could discuss about some, e.g. bind, dnsmasq, ... My biggest concerns are dns amplification attacks, I don't want my server to be part of this. Is it already possible to protect DNS servers from spoofing attacks? Maybe just by rate-limiting the requests, without breaking legit requests? Best regards, Michael
