Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and route hijacking have
become the most predominant network attacks. To address these threats,
network operators currently rely on mitigation services like Remotely
Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) and Resource Public Key Infrastructure
(RPKI). In this paper, we seek to understand how operators leverage
both of these mechanisms. Using data collected at multiple...

Automation is not just about generating router configs. To manage changes in a team without getting in each other's way a more advanced automation workflow is needed. This talk will discuss the issues and outline a possible solution.
The BGP communities attribute, which usefully enables network operators to signal specific requests or information to nearby ASNs, also lets them signal RPKI status. But should they? In this presentation, I show the results of investigating the propagation of RPKI information in BGP communities.
There is a baseline of BGP Updates that is derived from the updates in RPKI - the creation or...
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) continue to plague the internet and is ever evolving. This presentations aims to highlight the following Key Findings:
- Internet Traffic Growth & Visibility Accelerating
- The Power of Persistence
- DDoS Attack Infrastructure Telemetry
- Adversary Discovery Lifecycle
- Carpet-Bombing & DNS Water Torture Attacks Increase Pace
- World Events Fuel DDoS...
This paper summarizes the key milestones that are expected to come to fruition in 2024 vis a vis DWDM and optical networking.
By the time you have your next haircut, generative AI will be exponentially more powerful than it is right now – which has many businesses and professionals in a panic. Are we, humans who generate content, about to be shown the door? No. There’s “ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERY-BOTTY”. In this talk we explore the whys, hows and where-to-from-heres and you get the must-knows of prompt engineering...
This research test and analyses the websites that are hosted and available in Mauritius, to conclude whether Mauritius is prepared against Quantum Computing. This research can also be applied to any other countries. Our methodology includes the validation of ports and TLS servers, checking the presence of firewalls and finally, the actual test. All the code has been documented and uploaded on GitHub.
New High performance technology such as the one found in Blockchain applications, high power GPU's and Gaming technology requires a new approach for Data Centre environments. Power density above 25KW per rack can no longer be sufficiently cooled by traditional means and Data Centre's now have to implement more efficient alternate cooling systems.
Bryce Allen, Head of Sustainability at Teraco, will discuss the challenges for the South African ICT sector and strategies to mitigate the impact of high-powered infrastructure on scarce resources.
Content aims to show future Access and Metro Agregation networks architectures to cost effectively expand as bandwidth demands grow.
Going from 10G grey networks on dark fibre to 100g colored WDM interfaces.
78% of children at age 10 in South Africa are unable to read for meaning.
Compare this to 3% in the UK, 4% in the USA, 13% in Chile and 35% in Iran and it is clear that South Africa will not globally compete in the next generation. Project Isizwe has deployed Wi-Fi into schools for learning and teaching with significant success. 80% of South African schools can be reached by ISPs either with...
SANReN - High-speed network dedicated to science, research, education, and innovation traffic. SANReN overview, the network, and the role entity play in contribution to the research and education in South Africa.
As South Africa and the rest of the world edges towards 2030 there are two significant milestones that loom large. Globally all UN members have committed to the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end there is wide consensus of the importance of access to broadband internet and the adoption of associated ICTs to enhance and catalyse achievement of many goals. ...
