10:30am - 11:00am	Grand Ballroom	Open Internet Order – a regulator’s read of the FCC’s recent Open Internet Order, and related regulatory proceedings. Chris Witteman is a senior litigation attorney for the California Public Utilities Commission. His talk will focus on the FCC's February 26, 2015 Open Internet Order, and provide a digestible overview of the Order's 400 pages, and what it might mean in practice for consumers, competitive carriers, and content and service providers. The talk will focus on the “No throttling,” “No paid prioritization,” and “No unreasonable interference” regulations adopted by the FCC, and how the FCC is likely (or not) to interpret and enforce those regulations. Attention will be paid to interconnection, transit, and peering issues that many believe are integral to ensuring an open Internet: how will the FCC monitor and approach those issues under the Order, and how might they do so in the future? The talk will also examine how the Order affects the ability of state regulators to resolve both consumer complaints and interconnection disputes. The talk will conclude with a few remarks on recent state initiatives related to broadband and telecommunications, and any questions the attendees may have. ** Mr. Witteman began his litigation career with a series of cable access cases in the late 1980s and 1990s. In 2001, he went to work for the California Public Utilities Commission, where – among many other telecommunications issues -- he has litigated interconnection cases through to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He appears as an individual, and not as a representative of the CPUC. Chris Witteman 415.806.4694 c [email protected] View full abstract page.

11:30am - 12:00pm	Grand Ballroom	Home Network or Access Link? Locating Last-mile Downstream Throughput Bottlenecks As home networks see increasingly faster downstream throughput speeds, a natural question is whether users are benefiting from these faster speeds or simply facing performance bottlenecks in their own home networks. In this work, we study a simple question: Are users’ downstream throughput bottlenecks in their home networks or in their access ISPs? Although our question is simple, answering it on a large-scale deployment is challenging because accurate measurements require instrumentation of a home router, which is too resource-constrained for many existing throughput analysis tools. In this work, we identify lightweight metrics that can accurately identify whether a throughput bottleneck lies inside or outside a user’s home network and develop a detection algorithm that accurately locates these bottlenecks. We validate this algorithm in controlled settings and report on two deployments, one of which is the FCC deployment with 2,652 homes in the United States. We find that wireless bottlenecks are more common than access-link bottlenecks—particularly for home networks with downstream throughput greater than 20 Mbps, where access-link bottlenecks are relatively rare. In homes with a wireless bottleneck, it is equally likely that only one device experiences the bottleneck as it is for all devices to experience the wireless bottleneck simultaneously.

1:00pm - 1:30pm	Grand Ballroom	SENSS: Security Service for the Internet Distributed network attacks, such as DDoS and BGP prefix hijacking can severely hurt online businesses and disrupt critical infrastructure services. The main challenge in handling such attacks is their distributed nature: the best locations to diagnose and mitigate them are often far from the victim's network. Today's Internet has no automated mechanism for victims to ask help of remote ISPs, and has low incentives for remote ISPs to offer such services. Consequently, prefix hijacking attacks go largely unmitigated, and victims of DDoS attacks pay exorbitant prices to large CDNs to distribute their contents and thus sustain the attacks. We propose SENSS, a programmable security service for the Internet. SENSS brings simple and generic programmable interfaces from SDN to inter-AS security. These interfaces can be easily implemented in today's ISPs; victims use them to observe and control their own traffic and routes in remote ISPs, and pay per use. We show how victims can leverage these simple interfaces to design solutions against many attacks. We provide six such custom programs that handle a variety of DDoS and BGP prefix hijacking attacks, many of which are not handled today. We evaluate SENSS through extensive simulations and prototype implementation, using realistic traffic and Internet topology, and show that it is very effective in sparse deployment (with adoption in 20 large ISPs, SENSS can eliminate 80-96\% DDoS attack traffic and correct 92--99\% of polluted ASes for BGP prefix hijacking), and it has low message overhead and delay.

1:30pm - 2:00pm	Grand Ballroom	Monitoring, managing and troubleshooting large scale networks. Monitoring, managing and troubleshooting large scale networks. Almost four years ago I came to NANOG and mostly complained about the state of monitoring networks, par for the course for me. A lot has changed since then, we've solved many of the problems I addressed. Perhaps more importantly, we've fundamentally changed how we manage, monitor and troubleshoot our network. We plan to share what we learned, what went well, and best of all, what went oh so terribly wrong. Our driving philosophy behind this effort is that by taking an engineering approach to operations, you can greatly reduce the time to discover, mitigate and resolve issues on your network. We analyzed our faults, our pain points and the work that consumed most of our time. This allowed us to prioritize what we tackled first, we were surprised by what we learned caused the most outages, and how much impact minor network issues can have when they fall in the right place. From this, today, the majority of the faults that occur in our network are automatically detected, and mitigated all without human intervention. We'll dive into some of the most interesting issues we've experienced in our network, how we narrowed them down before, and after our new tooling and monitoring was deployed. We'll walk through specific examples of remediations and how the systems function. I'm lazy, I don't want to spend my time fixing known issues, I want to work on new problems, I want a challenge. This was the driving force behind our approach, if this sounds like you, them this talk is for you. ---- One of the keys to this effort was a system called FBAR, which interacts with our devices to perform the tasks needed to resolve issues. We'll explain in detail how this works, as well some of our earlier remediations. As a companion to this talk, David Swafford will be preparing a separate tutorial session to show you how to build your own system much like FBAR to help detect, isolate and remedy issues automatically.

Rest assured, he’ll keep at it until the job is done. In his current role as Network Infrastructure Manager at Facebook, his teams combine the power of automation with solid network engineering to keep facebook’s global backbone, and datacenter networks running fast, reliably, and efficiently. Today, they are building the infrastructure to deploy wedge, six-pack and fboss, facebook’s open switching platform and network operating system. Prior to this, Peter worked as a Network Engineer at Facebook, and further in the past as Senior Network Engineer and Architect at NTT America where he built custom dedicated hosting solutions for customers large, and small.

2:30pm - 3:30pm	Grand Ballroom	The benefits of deploying IPv6 only Use of IPv6 is gaining momentum. For some companies it is the primary IP version of choice to run their businesses and to deliver products and services to their customers. The depletion of globally routable IPv4 and private IPv4 address space has prompted many technology firms to look at the use of IPv6 while abandoning support for IPv4 in some parts of their networks. Additionally, and perhaps, more interestingly IPv6 has been rumored to outperform IPv4. New data is available from more diverse adopters that further substantiates these claims. Come hear the following as part of this panel: * Facebook will share information about their IPv6 only efforts including the data they are seeing comparing IPv4 and IPv6 performance. * Comcast will share how they are using IPv6 only for their next generating entertainment operating system as well as IPv6 differences compared to IPv4. * T-Mobile will share information about the deployment of IPv6 only across their mobile network which minimally includes lessons learned and techniques to ensure IPv4 content continues to be reachable. Other participants may be added in advance of the actual panel session. Akamai and LinkedIn have both been invited. View full abstract page.	Speakers: John Jason Brzozowski, Comcast John Jason Brzozowski, Fellow and Chief IPv6 Architect A proven technology leader John has been the driving force behind Comcast’s IPv6 transition and deployment since the program began in 2005. His accomplishments and success leading Comcast’s IPv6 deployment are recognized around the globe. John’s tireless efforts continue as he advances the adoption of IPv6 across all of Comcast’s infrastructure and services. He leverages his expertise and experience to drive the adoption and implementation of IPv6 in the real world and at scale, ensuring that innovative solutions are in place to support traditional and next generation services. His pioneering work has had significant impacts not only within Comcast but also across the entire cable industry and beyond. He has and continues to be instrumental in encouraging the adoption of IPv6 across the broadband, content, and consumer electronics ecosystems. Geoff Huston, APNIC. Gaurav Madan, T-Mobile USA Inc.

3:30pm - 4:00pm	Grand Ballroom	Latency IPv4 vs IPv6: Understanding the difference During last years much attention was paid for process of deploying IPv6 in different regions. And with growing IPv6 adoption the requirements also grew up. Today we require not just working IPv6 but reliable IPv6. Of course this aim brings to our attention IPv6 network latency which we want to be comparable to IPv4 latency. First measurements gave community very interesting and promising results – for some networks IPv6 was faster than IPv4. But why IPv6 had less latency – there was no clear evidence. In my report I’m going to discuss reasons why in some cases IPv6 is faster than IPv4 and why it is slower in other ones. View full abstract page.

5:00pm - 5:30pm	Grand Ballroom	Dynamic Service Chaining for SDN/NFV In talk focus on framework for dynamic L4-L7 services in NFV/SDN environments. The modern service provider and data center networks demand cloud delivery model for agile and cost-effective rollout of services for revenue generation. There are some proposals to incorporate service insertion in the emerging SDN and NFV environments. However, the current methods are sub-optimal, complex and inflexible in delivering automated end-to-end service delivery. In a virtualized cloud environment, service delivery requires intelligence in the network for policy-based traffic handling and differentiated services. Dynamic service chaining is a fundamental component in building an on-demand and scalable model for policy enforcement. This session will cover following topics: 1. NFV & Service chaining use cases 2. Challenges with existing solutions 3. Opportunities with dynamic service chaining 4. Policy Enforcement model in SDN/NFV environment 5.

9:30am - 10:00am	Grand Ballroom	Rethinking Centralization Centralization seems to be the current "silver bullet" for network complexity — but will it really "solve" for complexity, or just bring us another round of "pushing complexity around?" This presentation considers an alternative view of the centralization/decentralization debate. View full abstract page.	Speakers: Russ White, Ericsson Russ White has scribbled a basket of books, penned a plethora of patents, written a raft of RFCs, taught a trencher of classes, nibbled and noodled at a lot of networks, and done a lot of other stuff you either already know about — or don't really care about. You can find Russ at 'net Work, the Internet Protocol Journal, PAcket Pushers, LinkedIn, and his author page on Amazon.	Rethinking Centralization Rethinking Centralization (slides)(PDF)
10:00am - 10:30am	Grand Ballroom	QUIC: Next generation multiplexed transport over UDP QUIC is a new transport protocol that runs on top of UDP. It is currently deployed to a significant fraction of Chrome users of Google services. It combines TCP-style congestion control, TLS-grade security, and HTTP/2 multiplexing. Our measurements on real-world traffic show that QUIC significantly decreases page load times and time between pauses in video playbacks. Google will continue scaling up the use of QUIC on the public internet over the next few months, with the goal of sending all Google traffic over QUIC. This talk will discuss how QUIC works, why it's an improvement over TCP, the problems we're anticipating as we deploy at scale, and what we're doing to prevent them. View full abstract page.	Speakers: Brian Rogan, Google. Ian Swett, Google Software developer working on the QUIC internet transport being developed by Google. I focus on issues related to YouTube, including video quality of experience, and deployment.

10:30am - 11:00am	Grand Ballroom	Motivation, Analysis, and Architecture for IPv4aaS In this talk, we share our work in creating an “IPv4 as a service” network overlay. We begin by suggesting there is value in building network infrastructure which is “lean” and "IPv6 focused". There is likely value in focusing on a lean FIB infrastructure and IPv6 focused functionality in our next-generation routing platforms. We performed traffic analysis on how IPv4 is being used in our network today. We found that 90% of the traffic in our fully routed backbone is done by %0.005 of the routes. 99% of the traffic is performed by 4.5% of the prefixes. This data suggests we can incrementally deploy an IPv4aaS solution. Our goal is to build an IPv4aaS using cloud infrastructure based on open source and home grown software. We then present an IPv4aaS built on top of LISP. While we use LISP encapsulation, we have decided not to use the LISP DDT “routing” mechanism. Our IPv4aaS overlay routing architecture must associate IPv4 prefixes with IPv6 next-hops. This isn’t supported with “classic” BGP today. To solve this, we augmented JSON BGP IPv4 prefix updates with additional JSON information, namely an IPv6 next-hop. Effectively, we created a BGP IPv4 update with an IPv6 next-hop value. These messages are HTTP PUT to a route reflector / controller device, which processes the updates and applies associated business rules. These messages are then HTTP PUT to the overlay ingress (iTR) which announce a “default” to the underlay network. We then suggest the concepts in this presentation are an extension to the concepts we've made at the previous two June NANOG meetings. View full abstract page.	Speakers: Brian Field, Comcast.

11:30am - 12:00pm	Grand Ballroom	Source Routing 2.0. Why Now, Why Again? Traditional source routing using IP header options was never widely deployed due to security concerns. Recent buzz around Segment Routing (a.k.a. SPRING) has re-invigorated interest in source routing technologies and their potential benefits. For many operators however, moving to SPRING represents a significant change in their operating practices, so in a more incremental approach they are implementing SPRING-inspired designs using current technologies with minor augmentations. In this talk we will review SPRING/SR, but will mainly focus on using existing protocols for achieving similar benefits. We will discuss: - clever usage of static LSPs to achieve predictable label values in a data-center network - minor enhancements to BGP-LU for more resilient EPE (Egress Peer Engineering) - interoperability considerations between SPRING and non-SPRING domains View full abstract page.

12:00pm - 12:30pm	Grand Ballroom	SDN in the Management Plane: OpenConfig and Streaming Telemetry Abstract Follows: The networking industry has made good progress in the last few years on developing programmable interfaces and protocols for the control plane to enable a more dynamic and efficient infrastructure. Despite this progress, some parts of networking risk being left behind, most notably network management and configuration. The state-of-the-art in network management remains relegated to proprietary device interfaces (e.g., CLIs), imperative, incremental configuration, and lack of meaningful abstractions. We propose a framework for network configuration guided by software-defined networking principles, with a focus on developing common models of network devices, and common languages to describe network structure and policies. We also propose a publish/subscribe framework for next generation network telemetry, focused on streaming structured data from network elements themselves. View full abstract page.

12:30pm - 1:00pm	Grand Ballroom	Architecture for fine-grain, high-resolution Telemetry for network elements. The Networks evolve quickly to be highly automated, self-adapting, and intelligent integrated systems. However, even the most intelligent system can take as good decision as good input information it is provided with.. In this session we address an architecture that enables high frequency export of telemetry data from network elements. Traditional protocols like SNMP retrieve data from network elements using a “pull” model, which suffers from several well documented shortcomings, the most important being a centralized architecture which causes strain on the central processor of the network element, taking away cycles from the main functions of the router. This architecture addresses the problem by creating a distributed export mechanism where telemetry is “pushed” out directly from the source, rather than relying on the central component. This is intended to enable innovative applications, such as dynamic provisioning of devices based on utilization levels, security and/or quality prediction base don anomaly heuristic analysis, etc. The architecture defines the following 1. The Open telemetry model for a network element. - Configuration and Provisioning - Capability discovery 2. Implementation of telemetry probes in various internal sub systems of a network element. 3. Open-source based Export mechanisms via which telemetry data is generated View full abstract page.	Speakers: Rafal Szarecki, Juniper Networks.

2:30pm - 4:00pm	Colonial	Tutorial: Whiteboarding 101 The “whiteboard talk” represents one of the key ways that engineers can communicate ideas in a concise and educational way to colleagues. More than a classroom lecture or a slide presentation, a whiteboard talk is a combination of several disciplines including teaching, storytelling, the visual display of information, and improvisational acting. In this tutorial, the attendees will learn how to organize a whiteboard discussion, how to avoid popular pitfalls, and how to make sure that their audience walks away with the knowledge that the attendee wants them to have. These topics include how to narrow down the scope of a topic (both in terms of the topic itself and the level of abstraction), how to build the knowledge model for the talk, how to define terms for different audiences, and how to handle difficult audience members.

4:30pm - 5:00pm	Grand Ballroom	New Cybersecurity Obligations and CPNI Rules Represent Regulatory Sea-Change for Network Operators The early months of 2015 have seen an unprecedented level of action in the realm of U.S. cybersecurity policy. The Obama Administration, in response to a growing number of cybersecurity compromises and data breaches has announced an aggressive cybersecruity and data security agenda. The activity appears motivated at lease in part by the spike in the number of U.S. data breaches in 2014. The Cybersecurity agenda of the Obama Administration will have direct and indirect consequences for network operators potentially adding to their already substantial regulatory burdens. On top of these new obligations, the FCC adopted new open Internet rules that for the first regulate how data Internet service providers can utilize Consumer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI). That's a big deal to network operators who supplement revenue from user fees in a variety of ways by trafficking in user data. This presentation will educate the audience on the new rules and outline compliance strategies. About the Presenter: Ross A.
