Following my work with the
FreeBSD implementation of RFC 6980
I was happy to present my work at last week’s DENOG 9 meeting.
To make it available to anyone who did not meet me there and go into some more
detail that would have exceeded the boundaries of the talk, I will cover the
topic here.
After the preceding work on
Windows Server 2016
and the FreeBSD testing, as a Linux user, lover and administrator, I of course
wanted to take a look at how different Linux systems complied with the RFC 6980
standard.
we (Christopher, Jan-Pascal and me) had the pleasure to join the 7th
DENOG (German Network Operators
Group) meeting in Darmstadt
which takes place yearly in autumn. For the first time the meeting was scheduled
for two days which offered more time for talks and discussions than the previous
meetings. The concept of DENOG is to meet, talk, discuss and share experience
with the network operator community in Germany.
The meeting started withe a talk from Peter Sievers from Juniper about Network
Automation and Programmability. He presented why automation and programmability
is getting more and more important even for network operators. It will help to
automate the build process, the configuration and should ideally help you
operating and troubleshooting your envirnoment. The focus of the talk was on the
platforms which are already available and ready to use to automate day to day
activities.
