I went to NANOG88 last week. It was a great time, and I haven’t been since 76 in DC.

They just posted the talks yesterday. Allow me to share some of my favourites I attended:

AWS deep dive ( architecture hints & hardware used in AWS):

Design Driven Network Assurance (Person at MLB discusses his approach to Network testing automation… he has previous talks on how the code works).

Deploying a backbone in APAC (A little fluff but F5 shares the troubles with submarine fiber in the APAC region).

New encrypted protocol stack (Mainly about QUIC pattern/flow detection & behaviour)

Keynote from Len (of Cisco) was nice. A lot better vibes than Cisco Live apparently had the week before.

Those are just the ones that stood out. There are some other interesting ones that I attended or wanted to attend but was busy doing the hallway track. I will start drafting my blog post on the content, once I’ve reviewed my notes & the slides.

      For sure! I recommend you get back to it. The price is a steal, if travel costs is not a big factor for you (I had to fly across the continent but I bundled in a getaway/vacation with my wife).

      Upcoming events are San Diego & Charlotte. I’m thinking of presenting at Charlotte. I’ll definitely be at the Toronto NANOG in Oct 2024.
