[nznog] NZNOG 2019 Workshop/Tutorials

[Dave Mill]

Hi all

As part of NZNOG we normally offer a 3 day workshop (Mon to Wed) and a few
tutorials on the Wednesday.

APNIC have the following workshops/tutorials offered at the moment.

https://training.apnic.net/courses/

We're seeking feedback (on or off list) on what people may want.

Note, most recently we've had a 1 day Network Security tutorial
(Queenstown) and a 3 day MPLS workshop (Tauranga).

Ideas for next year:

-3 day Network Security
-3 day Routing I
-3 day SDN (5 days condensed in to 3 days)
-3 day DNSSEC

-1 day IPv6 essentials
-1 day DNSSEC
-1/2 day BGP techniques


Or, what else would people like to see at NZNOG (workshop and tutorial
wise) that APNIC don't offer?

On-list discussion encouraged :)

Cheers
Dave

Linux Performance tuning for Network Workloads. There are a ton of
things like Aligning PCIe IRQ's, Workflows required for SRIOV/DPDK and
OVS performance. And how to adequately test and RCA issues with the
Network Stack. Tweaking sysctl, huge-page allocations and Processor
cores etc.

I know this seems somewhat 'not networking' but it's actually been the
majority of what our clients struggle with for the last couple of
years.

Interesting. I guess I TL;DR this as 'Getting great networking from a *nix
system'.

To ask a follow up question, who would be the best trainer on this in our
part of the world? Would we want someone from Google, Facebook, etc? Is
there someone who's an expert at this based in NZ? WAND?

TICSA and general LI compliance, from both a deep technical perspective and an operational perspective for NZ network operators and service providers(*).

You read my mind :)

And always interested in input from any other players that can be coerced out of the shadows too...

I'm sure if you want to develop a curriculum around tuning, someone will
want it for a tutorial or workshop. I figure it takes around a week to
develop and polish each full day of talks and labs.

Alternatively you can suggest a topic where someone has already done all
that work, and offered it for free for the NOG meeting.

Possibly/maybe something I would be willing to throw my hat into the
ring on if there is enough interest. I can think of a few others who
have been dabbling in this space locally for some-time who are likely
better sources tho.

I am wondering perhaps if Tuning could be wrapped into the SDN bits.
Generally goes hand in hand.

I'd propose a tut on mobile friendly HTML email messages.

I'm seeing a growing number of very valid emails coming from government
and corporate agencies which are very hard to read on my mobile device
because they haven't been constructed to scale correctly and cause the
client to render them in such a way to show horizontal messages while
reducing the text size down to something unreadable.

Do we also need a tut on the importance and value of 'testers'? I
understand that everyone here on this list understands the need for
testers and I don't need to sell that to you at all, but are you
confident to explain it to stakeholders in a way that gets the message
through the fog that exists between ears?

I see this as an important issue moving forward with our society moving
more and more to government information all being electronic.

To me, this is an operational issue because there is no validation to
our work as network providers if the content the users are getting
doesn't render in a meaningful way that causes stakeholders to revert to
paper.
