BGP

Philip Smith, Cisco.  Intermediate to advanced BGP and multihoming

slides

This part of the tutorial will look at intermediate to advanced BGP and multihoming techniques.  Philip has a wealth of BGP experience and material, the exact topics covered will in large part depend on the composition of attendees and what they specifically want to see.

Topics that will be covered will include:

Jamie Baddeley, FX Networks.  Constructing industrial strength ISP routing policy

This part of the tutorial will cover the construction of ISP routing policy. It focuses on how you can you use route maps and BGP community attributes to give you far greater control over your import and export peering policies as well as your IGP. This is an intermediate to advanced level tutorial, and assumes attendees are familiar with BGP.

It covers:

Jamie is General Manager of Internet Services at FX Networks. Prior to that he worked for 6 years at BCL (now Kordia) and 6 years at Tait Electronics. He is also President of the Internet Service Providers Association of NZ, is also a councillor for InternetNZ and chairs their Technical Policy Committee. His lucky number is 3.

 

 

IPv6 Deployment

Nathan Ward, Braintrust Ltd.

slides

IPv6 in production is rapidly approaching, and in many places it's already there. This full day tutorial will cover off most of the gotchas and give some useful ideas and strategies for deploying IPv6 in to your network. We'll talk about various stages you can chose to go through, and we'll also talk about what you can do right now to improve IPv6 performance for your end users.

Nathan Ward has worked in the NZ Internet and IT industry for a number of years. He was worked for several NZ ISPs, one NZ telco by proxy, and one NZ network security box vendor. He has also done some time with a couple of small ISPs and VoIP providers in Africa.  He is active in the IPv6 community, and has been using IPv6 in anger for 4 or so years.

 

Security

APNIC and Team Cymru

Network Security tutorial:
CSI on the Internet
(Anatomy of a network attack,  network forensics, network attack and defense.)

This tutorial will look at the nature and structure of network attacks and the tools, actions and processes that can be used to identify and respond to such attacks.

A brief overview examining the anatomy of an attack and the creation of botnets will be presented and the motivation that drives such on-line malicious activity, the type of tools that are used in modern attacks, who is behind these and the impact they  have will be discussed.

Identifying attack streams and understanding the nature of TCP/IP traffic will be discussed through the use of Wireshark, fprobe, nfsen and nfdump. Darknets and their operation and contribution to combating malicious network activity will be considered.

As a practical, hands-on exercises, participants will be able to simulate a network attack and response scenario by trying to penetrate a remote network while at the same time protecting their own network from attack. This will be done using the tools and techniques discussed earlier and by remotely accessing either a virtual network topology or a real network running in the APNIC training lab.

All engineers and operators concerned with network security and interested in gaining an understanding of the threats they face and how to mitigate these should attend.

Ryan Connolly, Team Cymru

Since his initial forays into networking and software development in the early 1990's, most of Ryan Connolly's professional work has been focused on making computer and network systems more secure.  Over the years, Ryan's areas of concentration have included network security analysis, computer and network forensics, and software engineering for both large companies, such as Cisco Systems, and a wide variety of smaller ones. Most recently, Ryan has focused on providing security training, spreading awareness, and assisting with collaborative efforts in the service provider security community.  Ryan has worked for Team Cymru since 2005 and obtained a computer science degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign in 2001.

Cecil Goldstein, APNIC
