Jagged little (sync) pill: Enabling installation-based networks for accurate ...ADVA
Small cells and LTE-TDD/LTE-A base stations rely on stringent phase synchronization. But packet delay variation and asymmetry make it problematic to deliver accurate phase from the core. In this ITSF presentation, Nir Laufer explained how a new level of precision and reliability can be achieved by locating a “sync pill” (a grandmaster and primary reference time clock in miniature form factor) closer to the end application. The "sync pill" can also be used for network sync probing and assurance with minimal footprint and cost.
This ITSF 2016 presentation from Djamila Duc looks into field-testing to prove the feasibility and performance of small cells and IP RAN as well as the solutions being developed. A major mobile operator in the Middle East is rapidly deploying this technology and is trying optimize the solution by distributing frequency over high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) and IP.
However, reducing the high level of packet delay variation that affects quality is a big challenge. As it is impossible to use SyncE, deep field-testing of Precision Time Protocol over HDSL is required. The adopted solution is a combination that covers the frequency needs for legacy time-division multiplexing and the phase needs for future long-term evolution deployments.

A Novel Approach for Cell Selection and Synchronization in LTE-AdvancedT. L. Singal
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the result of the standardization work done by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to achieve a new high speed radio access in the mobile communications frame. Cell selection by a mobile UE is another issue in LTE. In particularly, an interesting challenge in the physical layer of LTE is how the mobile unit immediately after powering on, select a radio cell and locks on to it. More specifically, to understand how the mobile unit establishes the connection with the strongest cell station in surrounding region. To do this, the mobile unit has to overcome the challenges of estimating the channel to communicate with the cell site and frequency synchronization. To appropriately synchronize the mobile unit with the base station when multiple mobile unit are communicating with same receiver from various distances.

Synchronization For High Frequency Trading Networks: A How To Guidejeremyonyan
For many financial institutions, high frequency trading volume is growing at an accelerating pace and demanding new requirements on their IT infrastructure. Drivers in their business such as pricing of equities moving from decimal to penny resolution and the growing need for markets to provide improved liquidity are resulting in huge opportunities for financial gain. Taking advantage of these opportunities is, in part, dependent on the care taken in the network’s time synchronization and the management of latency. Wall Street firms who were involved in the early phases of High Frequency Trading have been early adopters of high performance timing solutions utilizing a variety of signals including GPS, IRIG, 1PPS, NTP and now the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) which allows for precision time transfer on Ethernet networks. The implementation of specific timing solutions depends on the trading infrastructure and the network topology. Through a combination of hardware, software, and careful network management, it is reasonable to expect microsecond level time-transfer from traceable time sources to Linux applications.

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
