IPv6 day in 2011 was a global trial of the new Internet Protocol IPv6. Major websites participated to demonstrate preparedness for increased Internet growth. The University of Cambridge participated and found that IPv6 requests were low level at around 1-3% for most services. Tunnels like 6to4 caused some issues as they allowed addresses not on the local network. The event concluded that IPv6 day was essentially a non-event, and therefore a success, demonstrating readiness for the full transition.
On June 8, 2011, many major websites and internet service providers participated in a global trial of IPv6 to demonstrate readiness for the new internet protocol. The trial showed that major sites could support IPv6, enabling continued growth of the internet. However, the document also notes challenges observed during the trial, such as issues with automatic configuration, firewalls not recognizing IPv6 addresses, and problems with tunneling techniques used to allow IPv6 connectivity over IPv4 networks.

An introduction to Version Control SystemsJon Warbrick
Version control systems allow users to track changes to documents and code over time, maintain revision histories, and collaborate on projects. They provide features like check-outs that allow editing working copies, commits to save changes to repositories, diffs to view differences between versions, and merging of changes from multiple branches. Version control is well-suited for software source code management and collaborative work, but not as effective for tasks like bug tracking or large media files.
Google Apps was deployed at the University of Cambridge to provide calendar functionality to over 40,000 users across 100 departments and 32 colleges. A Java-based single sign-on application called gAuth was created to integrate Google authentication with the University's existing Raven authentication system. While rollout went smoothly, ongoing issues included conflicting accounts and support responsibilities. Usage grew steadily, with unique daily and monthly users increasing since the October 2010 launch.

All of us depend on the underlying network to be stable whether in the datacenter or in the cloud. We all have a basic knowledge of how traditional networks run, however in the past 10 years, we’ve moved to building redundant physical topologies in our networks, optimized the routing methodologies accordingly, moved into the cloud and gotten greater visibility and tuneables in the Linux kernel network stack. A lot has changed!
However, the way we troubleshoot the network in relation to the applications we support hasn’t adapted. In this session, we’ll review the progress that network infrastructure has made look at specific examples where traditional troubleshooting responses fail us and demonstrate our need to rethink our approach to making applications and the network interact harmoniously.

The document provides an overview of the basic concepts of the Internet. It defines the Internet as a network of networks that connects government, university, and private computers around the world. Key points include that the Internet uses TCP/IP protocols and packet switching to transmit data over any communications medium and interconnect diverse networks on a global scale. A brief history is given of the development of the ARPANET and adoption of TCP/IP in the 1980s. Common Internet applications like email, HTTP, DNS, and file transfer protocols are summarized.
This document provides an overview of the TCP/IP protocol stack. It discusses the four layers of TCP/IP - network interface, internet, transport and application layer - and how they relate to the seven-layer OSI model. Key protocols of each TCP/IP layer like IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP are explained along with their functions. Other topics covered include ports, port scanning, and Windows sockets API.

IPv6 performance was analyzed by measuring connection reliability and speed between IPv6 and IPv4 connections. Connection reliability was found to be lower for IPv6, with a 1.8% failure rate for unicast IPv6 compared to 0.2% for IPv4. 6to4 connections had an even higher 9% failure rate. Speed measurements showed that for 65% of unicast connections, IPv6 response times were within 10 milliseconds of IPv4. However, IPv6 connectivity is still not as robust as IPv4, with work remaining to improve IPv6 connection reliability.
CloudFlare operates a global anycast content delivery network (CDN) to improve website performance and security. Their network routes web traffic through data centers located around the world, where services like caching, security filtering, and optimizations are applied. Anycast routing allows a client to connect to the closest data center, and if that location fails traffic will automatically reroute to the next closest one. Operating an anycast CDN presents challenges around efficient routing, new market deployments, and troubleshooting unusual routing behaviors between networks. Peering is important for reachability but must be considered economically in each region.
This document summarizes key topics related to IPv6 and routing in IP networks. It discusses IPv6 addressing architecture, including unicast addresses, link-local addresses, and multicast addresses. It also covers IPv6 packet format, extension headers, fragmentation, and ICMPv6. The document then discusses routing within IP networks, including IPv6 subnets, routing organization with autonomous systems, and interdomain routing protocols.
Html5 web sockets - Brad Drysdale - London Web 2011-10-20Nathan O'Hanlon
The document discusses how WebSockets provide a full-duplex communication channel over a single TCP connection. This allows for real-time data transmission with much lower overhead compared to traditional HTTP polling techniques. WebSockets reduce bandwidth usage and latency, making them suitable for building interactive applications with low-latency requirements like gaming, financial trading, and real-time messaging. The speaker provides examples of how WebSockets can be used and are supported in major browsers and servers.
Telecommunications and the Internet rely on various transmission channels to transmit digital signals between computers and networks. Common channels include twisted pair wiring, coaxial cable, fiber optics, microwave transmission, and wireless technologies. These channels can transmit data at speeds ranging from 56 kbps for older modems up to several gigabits per second for newer fiber optic networks. The Internet itself is a global system of interconnected computer networks that uses standardized communication protocols like TCP/IP to link billions of devices worldwide.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

This talk covers some of the things we leant as a result of participating in World IPv6 Day on 8th June 2011. It’s presented from a server administrator’s point of view and, while it mentions assorted network-level issues, it doesn’t go into particular detail. In particular it’s not a guide to setting up an IPv6-capable network, nor a primer on what IPv6 is.\n
We are probably all used to IPv4. Been around for ages. Critically uses 32 bits to represent addresses, normally written as four dot-separated octets, each expressed in decimal. Trouble is, the world is running out of IPv4 addresses (all the ‘spare’ has now been allocated for use, though there are still lots of addresses not actually being used). IPv4 is only surviving thanks to extensive use of RFC1918 ‘private’ addresses, though their properties mean that ever increasingly complicated workarounds are needed to support their continued use.\n
IPv6, on the other hand, uses 128 bits to represent addresses (and note that doesn’t mean that the address space is only four times bigger...), normally written in hexadecimal as multiple 16-bit blocks separated by ‘:’ and with rules allowing runs of zeroes to be omitted. \n\nThe two protocols have quite a few other differences, some of which we’ll come on to, but the longer addresses are the ones you see first. But note lesson number 1: trying to use IPv6 as if it was just ‘IPv4 with longer addresses’ is doomed to failure.\n\n
So, what was IPv6 day all about?\n
Here’s what the Internet Society (who suggested and promoted the idea) had to say on the subject.\n
Here are some of the big players who started it off by promising to take part. Most of these already made their services available over IPv6, though not by default. In the end, at least 1,000 other providers, including the University of Cambridge, also joined in.\n\n
We gave this some thought in advance, and identified a number of things that we’d need to worry about...\n
IPv4 (at least in Cambridge where DHCP - especially dynamic DHCP - has always been considered a bit iffy) needs manual configuration: address, netmask, router, etc. \n\nv6, on the other hand, will by default try to configure itself. Connect any modern OS to many IPv6-capable networks and the machine will acquire a globally-routable address. Common schemes are EUI-64 and ‘privacy addresses’ (RFC 4941).\n\nThis difference can lead to some surprises.\n
The DNS handles name<->IPv4 mapping separately to name<->IPv6 mapping So there&#x2019;s no guarantee that you&#x2019;ll hit the same server, never mind the same service, over v6 as over v4. Setting things up like this may lead to madness, but can sometimes be useful. \n\nIPv6 config may be needed at an application level - for example Apache needs to know what IP addresses it&#x2019;s doing name-based virtual hosting on and so will need to know about v6 addresses as well as v4 ones.\n\nIf an advertised v6 address isn&#x2019;t responding (perhaps because the v6 interface is down) but the corresponding v4 interface is responding then clients will tend to try v6 and only fall back to v4 after a timeout. The symptoms can look VERY like server or network overload!\n
Packet filters and firewalls will need new configuration for v6 - default will probably be to block everything or allow everything, neither of which will probably be what you want.\n
It&#x2019;s tempting to consider a machine with a RFC 1918 private IPv4 address behind a NAT service to be more secure that a publicly addressed one, because it can&#x2019;t be poked directly from the outside. Private v6 addresses do exist (&#x2018;Unique Local Addresses&#x2019; (ULAs)), but they are not widely deployed because they are typically a solution to an address shortage and we are not short of v6 addresses. \n\nSo, stick a v4 privately-addressed machine on a subnet that also supports v6 and it will probably be out there exposed on the public Internet with a global address. This may come as a surprise. \n
It&#x2019;s common to setup inter-host communications (e.g. web server to database) to use the localhost interface and to limit connections to this to prevent external meddling. But if you enable v6 on such a machine then internal connection may happen via the v6 local interface on ::1 and not the v4 one on 127.0.0.1. If your rules don&#x2019;t take this into account you may find that you can&#x2019;t talk to yourself.\n
Rather a lot of log analysis software may be assuming that IP addresses in logs will look like 131.111.10.33, and may be &#x2018;surprised&#x2019; to find ones that look like 2001:630:212:8080::80:0. How they react will vary, but ignoring such entries (perhaps silently), or stoping dead on the first one are both possibilities.\n
...and once we got into actually doing the necessary configuration we found some others:\n
If an IPv6 router finds it has a packet that&#x2019;s too big to send over a particular link it drops the packet and sends a &#x2018;Packet too big&#x2019; ICMP6 message to the packet&#x2019;s origin, which is expected to resend it smaller. If anyone foolishly blocks those ICMP6 messages then this won&#x2019;t work, and you&#x2019;ll find that you can successfully send small packets but not full size ones. In a web context, this can mean that clients can open connections and successfully send requests, but can&#x2019;t receive responses (which are typically much bigger). IPv6 requires that all links carry at least 1280 byte packets (c.f. 1500 byte packets typically used on Ethernet) and there is some evidence that the big providers are artificially limiting themselves to 1280 bytes, presumably to avoid this problem.\n\n[IPv4 also has fragmentation, but it handled on a per-link basis, rather than end-to-end. It too can cause problems, but these are now largely understood and normally avoided, and in any case not often seen by clients]\n\nAuto-configuration (mentioned above) also relies on ICMP6 so if you block that you may loose all your addresses too!\n
Even though it&#x2019;s been around for a while, IPv6 is still changing quite rapidly, and even &#x2018;current&#x2019; software may not be keeping up. For example all but the most recent point release of the version of MacOS current on IPv6 Day had a bug that was likely to affect some users. SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 (old, but still in support) has some failings in its v6 support that caused us problems.\n
The core of the CUDN already supports IPv6, as does JANET, but only a few University edge networks have enabled it (UCS, Astronomy, Computer Lab, SRCF, ...). \n\nThe plan was to enable IPv6 on all these services for Pv6 day...\n
...but inevitably some fell by the wayside. We did manage the rest.\n
No known problems experienced by any University clients accessing v6-enabled services.\n
A small but significant number of people accessed our v6 enabled services, apparently successfully. \n
OK, not exactly big numbers. Services mainly offered to internal clients likely to be low because of the small number of internal clients with IPv6 connectivity. For services also accessed from outside (www.cam, mx.cam) ~1% of accesses were over v6.\n
China/Brazil probably high because the developing world has disproportionately fewer IPv4 addresses then US/Europe, etc., because by the time they wanted them the shortage was already becoming apparent and allocation rules were tightened. Such countries are likely to already be deploying v6 to cope with this.\n
Because of the disconnect between IPv4 and IPv6, various people have created systems what will, automatically or with manual configuration, allow v4 and v6 hosts to communicate or allow a pair of v6 hosts that don&#x2019;t have v6 connectivity between them to communicate. &#x2018;6to4&#x2019; is one such, and a common bug is that machines will sometimes chose an IPv6 connection via one of these &#x2018;transitional technologies&#x2019; in favor of a &#x2018;real&#x2019; IPv4 connection. For example lots of clients in the University contacted www.cam and smtp.hermes over 6to4 even though all those clients will have had viable IPv4 routes to the same servers. \n\nThis causes some problems.\n
6to4 is really clever, and here&#x2019;s a diagram of how it works. You might want to look at the Wikipedia description for more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6to4 \n\nThe critical points are that a 6to4 host ends up with an entirely usable IPv6 address in the 6to4 range 2002::/16, and if it wishes can offer to route other address in that range on behalf of other clients on the same subnet (thus bringing IPv6 support to a network that wouldn&#x2019;t otherwise have it). But all this depends on connections that are probably crossing the institution boundary and which are probably being offered on a &#x2018;best efforts&#x2019; basis at best.\n
So now you have machines on your network that are using IPv6 addresses from a range that you don&#x2019;t expect. Any access control by IP address is likely to be messed up by this. Worse, since 6to4 machines can advertise themselves as IPv6 routers to other machines, the existence of a machine doing this can easily affect other machines on the same subnet.\n\nWe saw this effect on IPv6 Day. Part way through the day a department mail server suddenly started using a 6to4 connection being offered by a workstation on the same network. Unfortunately it was forwarding mail to the central mail switch which refused to accept it because it wasn&#x2019;t (apparently) coming from a machine in the University. Fortunately this was easily fixed, and didn&#x2019;t result in a loss of mail, but does suggest that a significant barrier to wider Pv6 deployment may turn out to be these very &#x2018;transitional&#x2019; technologies that were designed to make it easier.\n

IPv6 launch day. Much like in 2011, lots of big players turned on IPv6 on their services. Unlike in 2011, they didn&#x2019;t turn it off.\n
Here&#x2019;s ww.google.com advertising a v6 address. At least back in work on my v6-enabled desktop, this is how I now connect to Google.\n\n
My plan is to enable dual-stack V4/v6 on new services from day one, and probably to add v6 on exiting services as and when they get replaced or significantly changed.\n
