Chi-Nog

I’ve been listening to “you should care about IPv6” talks for two decades. I’ve given a few myself… so when Nick Buraglio took the stage at CHI-NOG 13, I knew the script.

Doyle had just wrapped his automation-framework talk, and Tyler Conrad was up next. Principal engineer at Arista, Austin, fifteen years split between customer-side and vendor-side.

Brad Gorman’s ARIN workshop laid out where routing security stands today, ROAs you can trust, ASPA shipping, BGPSec quietly retired.

Declared bias up front. Jeff Doyle is a friend, but that doesn’t influence what comes next.

I sat in Brad Gorman’s RPKI workshop at CHI-NOG 13 with the kind of attention you give a talk when somebody on stage just admitted the security model has known holes.

Somehow I’ve never made it to CHI-NOG, the Chicago Network Operators Group’s annual gathering. That changes this year.
