Agenda OpenSource-WG RIPE 73
by Martin Winter 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Here is the agenda for the OpenSource-WG at the upcoming RIPE 73: A. Administrative Matters (Working Group Chairs) [5..10 mins] . Welcome . finalize agenda . approval of minutes from previous WG meeting(s) . review of action list B. PCAP BGP Parser [15 mins] Network operations increasingly relies on tools and features to perform in-depth analysis of Internet routing behavior to optimize traffic flows or dissect DDoS attacks. In particular, IXPs commonly operate software routers such as BIRD or Quagga as BGP route servers. However, the implemented data processing features and tools are somewhat limited. BIRD does not support continues BGP exports, MRT dumps allow a post-best-path-selection view only, and the tshark BGP filtering capabilities are limited, just to name a few. In this talk we present a TCP dump BGP parser to overcome these limitations. The raw packets can be captured with tcpdump at the network interface of any software router and either be processed as a live-stream or stored and analyzed subsequently. For a post mortem analysis the BGP parser comes with a rich set of filters and export formats to meet the desired level of granularity. The presentation will showcase some compelling examples. Moreover, the tool can be extended as favored since it is available as open source project at GitHub. (Christoph Dietzel, DE-CIX) C. DHCPKit presentation [20 mins] DHCPKit is a fully customisable DHCPv6 server. It was initially written for ISPs to provision FttH customers, but because of it's flexible architecture it can be used in almost any setup. Behaviour can be customised with simple plugins. Some examples are an Apache Kafka based distributed looking glass, simple CSV-file based prefix delegation and rate limiting. This presentation will give an introduction to DHCPKit and show how it can be customised. (Sander Steffann) D. Automated management of Continuous Integration Jobs When you start testing your software using continuous integration you might start small where manual management is easy. But when you grow bigger it becomes tedious and there comes point in time when you have to do it automatically. In this presentation I will look at different approaches how to use your CI in automated way using reuseable configuration to describe a CI jobs on top of several Open Source CI tools: Jenkins Job Builder // Build Bot // Gitlab CI. (Ondřej Surý, CZ.NIC) E. OpenSource Lightening Updates [20 mins] These are short updates on different relevant OpenSource projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins (if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net by noon on Tuesday during the RIPE if you want to present an update. Selection of talks are done on Tuesday afternoon. Regards, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip OpenSource-WG Chairs

Call for OpenSource WG Chair Nominations (due by Sept 11, 23:59 GMT)
by Martin Winter 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Everyone, The fall RIPE is coming up and this is the time for Open Source WG chair elections. Nomination period is from NOW until Sept 11, 23:59 GMT Chair selection is as follows: - If there are no nominations, then it will continue as is without any vote (both myself and Ondrej are willing to continue) - If there is a nomination, then we will try to decide in a consensus (between existing maintainers and nominees) on how to proceed - i.e. replace someone or add someone as a 3rd maintainer) - If the consensus fails (i.e. if one of the nominations wants to force a vote to replace an existing maintainer and there is a disagreement), then we’ll have a public vote during the Open Source WG (Consensus between existing maintainers and all the nominees) See https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/open-source-working-group/open-sou… for details. So if you want to become a 3rd WG chair (not replacing any existing ones or if you want to force a re-election vote against a specific (or any) current WG chair, then this is the time to do so. Please send your nomination to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net If you miss this chance, then the next nomination period is in one year (each Fall RIPE meeting) The new WG chair starts after the Fall RIPE meeting. Regards, Martin Winter

Two weeks left to join RIPE NCC IXP Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid
by Vesna Manojlovic 02 Sep '16

02 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: https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/ixp-tools/#!the-event 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!

Agenda for The OpenSource WG session @ RIPE 72 (Copenhagen)
by Martin Winter 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hope to see everyone in Copenhagen… below is our agenda. Please send any suggested Open Source Lightening talks to the WG chairs by Tuesday, May 24, by 12:00 (week of RIPE) We’ll decide on the Lightening talks on Tuesday afternoon. Our Working Group is scheduled for Thursday, May 26 at 11am. Regards, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip Open Source WG Chairs. ————— Agenda for The OpenSource WG session A. Administrative Matters (Working Group Chairs) [5..10 mins] . Welcome . select scribe . finalize agenda . approval of minutes from previous WG meeting(s) . review of action list B. High-Speed Network Traffic Monitoring and Troubleshooting using ntopng [20 min] This talk highlights the design and implementation of ntopng, an open source web-based traffic monitoring application able to characterise protocols, user traffic behavior, and identify application traffic. ntopng can spot network bottlenecks, monitor network QoS/QoE, trigger alerts based on thresholds, and assist in network troubleshooting. Leveraging on PF_RING, ntop’s high-speed packet processing framework, ntopng can monitor high-speed networks (up to 100 Gbit when used with a flow-based probe) as well be used as a NetFlow/IPFIX/sFlow collector for flows generated by network routers. ntopng is released under GPLv3 license and its code is available at https://github.com/ntop/ntopng Presenter(s): Luca Deri <deri(a)ntop.org>, Simone Mainardi <mainardi(a)ntop.org> C. Ideas and Challenges on testing a routing protocol - Experiences testing Quagga [20 min] Overview on tools and methologies for testing a routing protocol and the challenges. The talk gives a overview of the work OpenSourceRouting does on Quagga, tools used and the experience of it. The talk is about challenges in building and testing across multiple (unix-based) Operating Systems, experience in static analysis, testing for compliance and scale and automating it all. Presenter(s): Martin Winter <mwinter(a)netdef.org> D. Honeypot as a Service [20 min] Honeypots represent a powerful tool for detecting malicious hosts on the Internet. One of their weaknesses is in their small number and in the fact that with time their addresses become known. To mitigate this disadvantage, we developed a concept of hosted honeypots we call Honeypot as a Service (HaaS) in which normal Internet users may easily participate. By providing such an open tool, the number of running honeypots may be increased significantly. In this presentation, I will present the open source tools we use to run this system and our current experience with its deployment on 2000 devices from project Turris. Presenter(s): Bedrich Kosata <bedrich.kosata(a)nic.cz> E. Open Source Lighting Talks [20 min] Selected on tuesday during the week of the RIPE. Please email any submissions to the WG chairs at opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net until (latest) Tuesday, May 24, by 12:00 (Local time in Copenhagen) These are short updates on different relevant OpenSource projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins (if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net by noon on Tuesday during the RIPE if you want to present an update. Selection of talks are done on Tuesday afternoon.

Is anyone here familiar with this?
by João Damas 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

http://arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2016/04/anti-innovation-eu-excludes-op… <http://arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2016/04/anti-innovation-eu-excludes-op…> ICT standardisation requires a balanced IPR [intellectual property rights] policy, based on FRAND licensing terms. FRAND licensing—the acronym stands for "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory"—is incompatible with open source, which will therefore find itself excluded from much of the EU's grand new Digital Single Market strategy. Is this simple stupidity or is there some old-fashioned wrong-doing being perpertraded? Anyone familiar with this process in this list who could provide a bit more insight? Joao

Kea (ISC's new DHCP server) license change
by Shane Kerr 12 Dec '15

12 Dec '15

All, I saw this on social media last week: https://www.isc.org/blogs/kea-license-2-0/ Personally I think it's a very good change. A ton of ISC and other BSD-licensed software has been added to proprietary products by companies who give little or nothing back. While anti-social, this is probably even a rational decision by the people in charge. It doesn't lead to a robust and healthy software ecosystem in the long run though. Cheers, -- Shane
