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.
