Abstract: Network Tools Track

Moderator: Mohit Lad, ThousandEyes



This track focuses on introducing non-commercial tools of value to the NANOG community with a focus on hands on presentations. The focus of this NANOG's tools track will be on Routing Tools. Each presenter will present the features and capabilities of the tool using case studies, which will be followed by a brief QA session. This will be the perfect opportunity for the audience to make a case for new features and enhancements.



1. REX: Resource Explainer

Rene Wilhelm, RIPE



REX, our Resource EXplainer, is a prototype tool developed at RIPE NCC to provide one-stop-shopping for almost all the information you ever wanted to know about Internet number resources. Using the long term view from data sets like RIS (10 years of BGP table dumps), RIPE database, Maxmind's geolocation information, various SMTP blacklists and others, REX provides an all-inclusive, detailed report about the resources you're interested in; both current and historic states. After introducing the concepts of REX, the presentation will illustrate the power of REX with a demo of example case studies.



2. BGPBotz
Manish Karir, Merit Network Inc,

BGPBotz is a BGP looking-glass interface over Instant Messaging. BGPBotz is similar to route-servers that run on telnet, but has been adapted for the AIM and Jabber IM protocols. In this presentation we would like to both describe its capabilities as well as provide a summary of what popular uses of this tool have been over the past 6 months of operation. We would also like to renew our plea to the overall community for BGP peering session that can be added to this service.


3. Cheap Alternatives for Market Intelligence

Mohit Lad, ThousandEyes Inc.



Without the budget for a commercial tool for market intelligence, one has to look for alternatives. This talk will show how one can make use of existing tools such as Cyclops along with some basic analysis using public data to carry out peering and connectivity analysis. Using specific case studies, the talk will focus on identifying what can be done and point out where the gaps are in the process.
