Lightning Talk
- Geoff Huston – Stateless TCP and DNS
- TCp limitations – Rough a high load
- UDP Limitations – Requires IP fragmentation
- Problems when response bigger than MTU , Fragments of UDP IPv6 often dropped. Switching to TCP drives up load again
- Simulate UDP with TCP – do minimal crappy respose to fill headers
- Ignore options, server doesn’t retransmit, ignore anything else from client, just closes connection
- No reliability, No Flow Control, bad Idea but seems to work
- Olof Kasselstrant – IXOR
- Small IX in Malmo and Copenhagen (2nd site being looked at)
- DIX only IX in Denmark
- Sponsors for Fibre and Equipment
- Exchange in 2 countries. Does it affect “must peer in 4 countries” agreement.
- Dream to be in 4 sites soon
- CCIP – Barry Brailey
- Getting out of rewriting Microsoft patch notices
- “investigation and analysis” function being dropped
- Infomation and Alerting – website , newsletter, alerts – alerts targetted and highish threshold –
- Outreach and partnering – main function – lease with overseas certs – talk to various groups – Education: presentation, newsletters, exercises (CyberStorm III – volenteers )
- Security Information exchanges – Various groups – traffic light protocol – Looking at some new forums – Maybe ISP SIE
- Cloud Computing for Service Providers – Richard Wade
- As a service provider – should I care?
- Infrastructure Foundation (Cisco, EMC, HP)
- Infrastructure as a service (Amazon , Sun , Savvis )
- Platform as a swervice (Amazon, MS Azure )
- Software as a Service ( Salesforce, Google apps)
- Integrate mngt ( network, servers, hypervisor, storage ) – unified fabric
- Why and Why Should I care
- Customer Ads – Eliminate Capex – Reduce Opex – IT as a utility
- Customer Probs – No LAN apps (overseas often) – WAN now biz critical – Operational relationship with overseas provider – Legal jurisdiction of data
- Service Provider ads – Understand managed services – Existing datacentres and infrastructure – OSS , process staff and contacts – SLAs – Domestic provider
- Sp Probs – Managed cust revenue declining – Race to bottom? – Increase International transit – High expectations of quality and relaibility
- Lame aternative IX Update technique – Simon Blake
- New system to update filter lists for IXs
- Citylink can instead download list of networks from customer URL
- Pulls list daily
- If diff email for confirmation or action it immediately
- ALTO – LLyod
- Helping p2p users select local/nearby peers
- GeoIP and anycasting – rough
- ALTO allows ISP to provide application, localtion, routing information, charging information, performance.
- ISP puts on network some servers (itrackers) that deliver to p2p client the policy information
- p2p caches (very close to edge) can be advertised
- No currently in use in the wild
- IPv6 taskforce – Dean Pemberton
- Internetnz+ MED
- TechSIG – 3 Hui in 2009 – Aimed at CIO/CTO – Went really well
- Looking at more training (session in 2009 already)
- Other things Task Force can do?
Building a Datacentre for less than $1 million – Gerald Creamer
- When it’s your own money you care so much more
- Had to move datacenter to another building
- Short is that you can’t do it for less than $1m
- Significant cost areas – Physical – power – cooling – network – time
- The right building – 18 m search – 100 sites looked at – 7 sites investigated – 4 site due diligence
- Engineers – “consultation” vs “converstaion”
- First culling – all concrete – Not ground , not top floor – Strong 5kPa – high stud – no sprinklers – built between 50 and mid-80s – CBD fringe
- $400 per m2 to strength building
- 2nd culling – close to street transformer – shorter power cables runs in building – shorter pipes for colling – outdoor space – generater space – near data networks
- Useful – friendly landlord – nice bank – recession (kean landlord)
- Save money – quality pre-owned hardware – “free” stuff – Ask experts – do some stuff yourself – Get experts to do others
- Cables up abandoned lift shaft
- 2nd hand generator – not as large as final requirement but bigenough for current build
- Room to upgrade UPS, generator, cables and space spec’d for more
- domestic meters to measure power in each rack
- Process Coolers (cheaper) 28KW each $1500/KW cost – $70k of aircon for $7k – check serial number with manufacter to find product history
- Seismic Bracing – $30k
- Helped corps clear out datacenters they were moving out of rooms ( “make good” on leases) and picked up some equipment
- Citylink and Telstra provisioned fibre. Telecom less helpful.
