This document discusses IPv6 only hosting and the challenges of moving to an IPv6-only infrastructure. It notes that IPv4 addresses are becoming scarce and expensive, leading to complicated overlay networks. IPv6 addresses are effectively unlimited and free in comparison. The document outlines steps taken to implement IPv6-only hosting, including NAT64 for outbound IPv4 access, inbound proxies, DHCPv6, and updates to monitoring, backup, and management services. It reports that roughly 5% of the company's servers are now IPv6-only.
Many network operators still struggle with which type of data-plane encoding they should use for segment routing. The world is hyper-connected and we can’t afford to be late to deliver 5G. Using IPv6, MPLS (or even IPv4) data-plane encoding keeps us moving forward.
Virtualizing the Network to enable a Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI)Odinot Stanislas
Une très intéressante présentation autour de la virtualisation des réseaux contenant des explications détaillées autour des VLAN, VXLAN, mais aussi d'NVGRE et surtout de GENEVE (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) supporté pour la première fois sur la dernière carte 40 GbE d'Intel (XL710)
The document discusses various techniques for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, including dual stack, tunnels, and translation. Dual stack allows simultaneous support of both IPv4 and IPv6 by keeping both protocol stacks. Tunnels encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to carry IPv6 traffic over IPv4 networks. Translation techniques like NAT64 algorithmically translate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to allow communication between IPv4-only and IPv6-only nodes. Newer methods like 464XLAT and DS-Lite aim to address IPv4 exhaustion by sharing public IPv4 addresses among more clients.
Segment Routing provides simplified packet forwarding by encoding forwarding instructions as segments rather than per-flow state. This document compares different encodings of segments: 32-bit segments encoded directly in MPLS or UDP over IPv4/IPv6 (SRoMPLS, SRoUDP); and 128-bit segments encoded in a new IPv6 extension header (SRv6). SRoMPLS and SRoUDP are well-suited for brownfield networks as they can reuse existing MPLS and IP infrastructure with minimal overhead. SRv6 is designed for native IPv6 but has higher overhead. All approaches simplify operations but have different performance implications depending on the network environment.
An overview of Haystack's security features for low power IoT networks. Unlike most IoT stacks, when Haystack invented DASH7, security was an a priori principle and led to the most secure networking stack available in the low power, wide area networking (LPWAN) space today.
The document discusses software-defined networking (SDN) and OpenFlow, including:
1) OpenFlow allows the control logic to be separated from the forwarding hardware by defining an open interface between the two. This enables more flexible and programmable networks.
2) OpenFlow works by defining flows that match packets and actions that are applied to the matched packets. The flows are populated and managed by an external controller through the OpenFlow protocol.
3) OpenFlow is being deployed in over 100 organizations and is enabling network innovation through its programmable and customizable nature.
Segment routing is a technology that is gaining popularity as a way to simplify MPLS networks. It has the benefits of interfacing with software-defined networks and allows for source-based routing. It does this without keeping state in the core of the network and needless to use LDP and RSVP-TE.

Nic Viljoen, Research Engineer, (including Tom Tofigh and Bryan Sullivan form AT&T) presentation from ONS 2016 at Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
This document discusses Mellanox's Efficient Virtual Network (EVN) solution for service providers. It begins with an overview of Mellanox's end-to-end interconnect solutions and portfolio. It then discusses how the cloud-native NFV architecture requires an efficient virtual network. The EVN is introduced as the foundation for efficient telco cloud infrastructure. The document provides details on how SR-IOV and DPDK can be used together with Mellanox NICs to achieve near line-rate performance without CPU overhead. It also discusses how overlay networks can be accelerated using overlay network accelerators in NICs. Benchmark results show the EVN approach achieving higher performance and lower CPU utilization compared to alternative solutions.
Global routing validation involves facilitating the validation of routing information on a global scale through two main systems - the Internet Routing Registries (IRR) and the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). Routing information such as routing policies, autonomous system numbers, and IP prefixes should be publicly available in a common format to allow for global validation. The RPKI system uses digital certificates to authoritatively associate network resources like IP addresses and autonomous system numbers to their legitimate owners and allows identification of which autonomous systems have permission to originate those addresses. Implementing RPKI and origin validation helps secure routing and prevent route hijacking.

OpenFlow/Software-defined Networking aims to open up the network infrastructure through a "software-defined networking" approach. It proposes using simple packet forwarding hardware with an open interface and a network operating system that provides a well-defined open API. This allows multiple network operating systems or versions to run over the same underlying hardware, similar to how virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run on the same computer hardware. OpenFlow specifies the open interface and protocol to enable this new paradigm of network virtualization and programmability.
Platforms for Accelerating the Software Defined and Virtual Infrastructure6WIND
As network infrastructures evolve and selected elements shift from physical systems to virtual functions a new class of network appliance is required that provides high performance processing, balanced I/O and hardware or software acceleration. Such a platform must combine standard server technology and modular systems that can be configured to support line rate performance with network interfaces up to 100Gbit/s.
This webinar will discuss a class of network appliance that offers performance levels previously requiring more complex and costly architectures while integrating seamlessly with standard software frameworks such as Linux, Open vSwitch (OVS) and Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
The document is a datasheet for the Cisco Nexus 3100-V N3K-C31108PC-V switch. It provides specifications for the switch such as its physical dimensions, port configuration of 48 SFP and 6 QSFP28 ports, switching capacity of 2.16 Tbps, and features including line-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching, VXLAN routing, high availability, and extensive management capabilities through the NX-OS operating system.
Software defined networking (SDN) decouples the network control and forwarding functions, allowing the control to be centralized and the underlying network to be abstracted from applications. This provides benefits like centralized management, rapid innovation, and increased network programmability. SDN uses protocols like OpenFlow that define messages between a controller and switches to build flow tables for packet forwarding using matches and actions. SDN is well suited for data center networks where it allows for network virtualization and easier configuration changes.
