Full Abstract

Layer 2 Attacks and Mitigation Techniques session focuses on the security issues surrounding Layer 2, the data-link layer. With a significant percentage of network attacks originating inside the corporate firewall, exploring this soft underbelly of data networking is critical for any secure network design. Security issues addressed in this session include ARP spoofing, MAC flooding, VLAN hopping, DHCP attacks, and Spanning Tree Protocol concerns. Common myths about Ethernet switch security are confirmed or debunked, and specific security lockdown recommendations are given. Attack mitigation options include the new DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) functionality. Attendees can expect to learn Layer 2 design considerations from a security perspective and mitigation techniques for Layer 2 attacks. This session is for network designers, administrators, and engineers in all areas of data networking.

Full Abstract

Problem solving is the essence of what most network administrators do, but it's not often taught, and there's a lot of mystique that says it can't be taught. In fact, it's a skill, and it can be taught to the same extent that other skills can be taught. The most important tool in teaching it is simply a belief that it can be taught; this talk will attempt to convince you, and will provide you with more tools you can use to teach.

Full Abstract

The high-tech sector's incredible growth over the last two decades has, not surprisingly, created a rising demand for action and expertise in reducing energy use. Some customers simply can't install any more computing equipment without freeing up energy capacity. This presents a great opportunity for energy efficiency: Data center operators want to learn how energy-efficient technologies can not only save energy, but also increase data center capacity.

Speakers
Mark Bramfitt, Pacific Gas and Electric Company
Mark Bramfitt is a Principal Program Manager in Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Customer Energy Efficiency group, responsible for designing and delivering programs and services to help customers manage their energy use in the high tech industry segment. His team supports customers in the Silicon Valley and throughout northern California, providing a utility industry-leading program portfolio for data centers and information technology infrastructure. Over three years, these programs will deliver over 15 megawatts of peak energy demand reduction, with a program budget of over $21 million. Mark also leads the Utility IT Energy Efficiency Coalition, promoting adoption of PG&E's program and service model by utilities throughout North America.

Full Abstract

Part 1 will be composed of a panel of experts from large Data Center operators who are facing challenges providing high powered facilities to meet demand while still being able to cool said facilities. Issues facing the industry will include build costs, technology for power production (autonomous from the grid), new cooling technologies such as liquid cooling and how that is affecting designs. Part 2 will be vendors of new tech for producing power and cooling and where they see the industry going. This should be telling of what our industries limits will be and how that will affect the Internet when space+power+cooling capacities become limited. Part 3 will be a panel of Server, Router and Switch vendors. This panel will talk about new power loads on their hardware, how they are reducing the loads, new cooling technologies and where they see the industry heading. This one may get heated and grilling of those vendors is expected.

There has been much discussion and many presentations given around forthcoming 100Gb standards within the NANOG arena, however very little of that discussion has addressed the challenges facing the equipment suppliers in developing the forwarding engines required to meet those speed challenges. This panel will focus on those challenges, and span the challenges facing the system suppliers today from backplane and signal integrity issues to fib lookups and re-writing headers at 100G FDX, and finally queuing challenges to/from the fabric and interfaces.

This presentation will briefly describe the methodology and present the results of the analysis, including the distribution of queries between different /8s and the networks from which these queries originate. The analysis does not provide a complete overview of the use of address space reserved for future allocation but it should help identify the scale of the problem. In addition to presenting the results of this research, we will also identify other research into this topic and identify other possible avenues for future research.

Full Abstract

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of Morpheus, a routing control platform that enables a single ISP to realize a much broader range of routing policies without changing its routers or coordinating with other ISPs. Morpheus allows network operators to easily define new policy objectives, make flexible trade-offs between the objectives, and realize customer-specific policies (e.g., provide customer-specific routes). Our experiments show that Morpheus is scalable in large ISPs.
