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

In general, each talk is 15-30 mins (depending on how much time is needed). If you have some idea and not sure how/if you should present something then feel free to contact us as well to discuss the idea. For small project updates, we are planning to reserve 30 mins again at the end of the WG session. These short 5..10(max) min updates/talks are decided on the day before the WG session on a time/space available base. No need to submit anything for these talks at this time.

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

Hi everyone, RIPE is getting close and we have finally the program for the OpenSource Working Group together. We have 2 interesting talks about Routing: GoBGP, a BGP implementation in Go and Freerouter another Open Source Router implementation. And finally, for all the coders and programmers out there, we have an interesting presentation about code fuzzing and static analysis as used by the Knot DNS team. Hope to see you all at the RIPE in Bucharest. And feel free to start sending submissions for a short lightening talk. We have some time reserved again for short updates on various open source projects. Send submissions to the WG chairs (opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net) and we'll try our best to fit you in.

Question for RPSL Parser
by Stavros Konstantaras 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Hi all WG members, For my project at NLnet Labs I would like to ask you if you know any (relatively) complete RPSL parser written in Python. I searched around and I didn’t find anything. Does someone know any repository where I can get one or maybe contact someone who has written one? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards Stavros ---- Stavros Konstantaras Internet Research Engineer, NLnet Labs Science Park 400, 1098 XH, Amsterdam Fingerprint: 4502 7D16 2DF8 ADB0 4AA6 21A9 BF9E EFFF 2744 FE5D
