BSN Webinar State of Sat and Brilliant - AprilMaureen Donovan
Discussion of history of satellite, present day and future technology. Broad Sky rich history in Satellite and how we are combing Satellite and 4G to make it a Brilliant Solution. Leveraging the best of both technologies for your customers.
Edge computing allows data produced by internet of things (IoT) devices to be processed closer to where it is created instead of sending it across long routes to data centers or clouds.
Doing this computing closer to the edge of the network lets organizations analyze important data in near real-time – a need of organizations across many industries, including manufacturing, health care, telecommunications and finance.Edge computing deployments are ideal in a variety of circumstances. One is when IoT devices have poor connectivity and it’s not efficient for IoT devices to be constantly connected to a central cloud.
Other use cases have to do with latency-sensitive processing of information. Edge computing reduces latency because data does not have to traverse over a network to a data center or cloud for processing. This is ideal for situations where latencies of milliseconds can be untenable, such as in financial services or manufacturing.
Introducing the Future of Data Center Interconnect NetworksADVA
Our ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ is the future of Data Center Interconnect (DCI) networks. It’s a highly scalable, energy efficient and truly open platform. With our DCI technology, there are no more limits, no more restrictions. A new era of possibilities has arrived.
RFC 7540 was ratified over 2 years ago and, today, all major browsers, servers, and CDNs support the next generation of HTTP. Just over a year ago, at Velocity, we discussed the protocol, looked at some real world implications of its deployment and use, and what realistic expectations we should have from its use. Now that adoption is ramped up and the protocol is being regularly used on the Internet, it's a good time to revisit the protocol and its deployment. Has it evolved? Have we learned anything? Are all the features providing the benefits we were expecting? What's next?In this session, we'll review protocol basics and try to answer some of these questions based on real-world use of it. We'll dig into the core features like interaction with TCP, server push, priorities and dependencies, and HPACK. We'll look at these features through the lens of experience and see if good practice patterns have emerged. We'll also review available tools and discuss what protocol enhancements are in the near and not-so-near horizon.

Altitude San Francisco 2018: The World Cup StreamFastly
FuboTV’s recent offering of the 2018 FIFA World Cup broke all of our previous records for viewership and put our systems to the test as we delivered all 64 matches live. Coverage for a majority of games was spread out across ~150 regional sports networks, local FOX affiliates, owned and operated regional stations and other local FOX offerings, with a few early matches broadcasted on national channels. Running a successful World Cup required us to pay close attention to our caching strategies, delivery mechanisms, content edge-case handling and more. An event at this scale, spread out over a month, also gave us an excellent test bed to run experiments. We were able to augment our last-mile delivery, test/tweak our solution for CDN decisioning/priority, and even stand up a set of UHD HDR10 feeds to give our users their first glimpse of live OTT UHD offerings. We’ll run through this whole event from a scale and technology perspective and share our takeaways as we prepare for the upcoming NFL season and beyond.

Enabling lightning fast content delivery for SpotifyFastly
At Spotify we use CDNs heavily to serve our 170 million users. While a large share of our traffic is the over 35 million songs we serve, we also serve lots of other assets. Most of these assets are created and owned by teams other than our CDN team. In this talk we will walk through how we at Spotify leverage Fastly APIs to enable lightning fast content delivery for our 2000 person R&D organisation.
We will look into the challenges faced in the CDN space due to Spotify’s roughly 250 R&D teams operating autonomously. We’ll do a deep dive into how we at the Spotify’s CDN team leverage Fastly APIs to enable self-serving for other teams so that regardless of what they serve they can always take advantage of the optimisations we’ve built in collaboration with Fastly to make their content fly lightning fast through the internet.
After this talk you will walk away with a view on how to enable large R&D organisation to work with a self-serving CDN solution: How to unblock the teams and let them not to worry about content delivery but instead let them focus on their core business!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Zoom down to South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
13x POPs; 2T edge; 21 IXPs.
25% of POPs and ~1/3rd of IXPs
Take Aways:
Understand Fastly’s approach to deploying infrastructure
Be able to identify who some of the key players outside the US to which traffic flows.
Understand the topology of the region, constraints we encounter, and how we overcome those constraints to maintain quality.
Available infrastructure is different, when compared to North America, Europe, or Asia.
Mapping: Population, Networks, Datacenters, and IXPs.
Where there are many options, there are clusters of viable offerings. Finding the right mix of connectivity at a common datacenter is critical.
These are the methods we whittle down choices.
AR, CL, BR: Limited choices: Fledgling Carrier Neutral Ecosystems; otherwise Carrier-centric
ZA, AU: Broad options by percentage: ZA and AU have carrier neutral options; though sometimes limited by local market.
NZ: Carrier centric options.
Pick DCs with carrier density.
Numbers ultimately reflect the market behaviors.
Methodology:
Gather flows to top 100 destination ASNs sorted by descending volume; sourced by geolocation data.
Normalize data for common ASNs; e.g. AT&T and AT&T Mobile; Charter/TWC/Brighthouse Merger.
Identify count of networks absorbing 80% of the traffic.

South Africa: Large incumbents, but with strong regional competition.
Australia: Band of 4x: Telstra, Optus, TPG, and unknown seat
New Zealand: Band of 2x: Spark and Vodafone, but Callplus is a large destination. Band of 3x?
Look for valid in country IXPs - multiple participants.
Traffic gravity shifts, users centrally served.
Miami and New York catch load and network events.
Rio creates local diversity.
NY and MIA fade.
Local traffic ecosystem.
Role of Rio changes as Bnuenos Aires comes online – Rio now performance overlay, GRU and EZE form core.
Ultimately – we do this to impact throughput.
Van Jacobsen and Bob Braden work in 1988 in RFC1072 defining characteristics and mitigation strategies of Long Fat Networks.
As much as 10x more candidate throughput (depending on packet loss) by lowering latency.
Not as simple as planning a move of servers from Miami to Sao Paulo.
That opportunity for more throughput means we need to be highly cognizant of the networks around us – e.g. bursting caps.
Not able to run at line speed.
Must read the fine print.
Often, burst caps come into play on submarine systems where order constraints exist.
In addition, you have to look at the common fates.
Overcome the constraints:
Careful research
Understand capacity and growth
Deploy to grow alongside our customers.
