Workshop: The Next Generation of Interconnection

The amount of traffic transferred through the Internet has steadily increased over the past years, and standard control-plane mechanisms such as BGP have trouble coping with the dynamics of network interconnection. In response, DE-CIX collaborates with five partners within the EU-funded project ENDEAVOUR to augment network interconnection at IXPs with features such as traffic engineering and security. We believe that recent technological trends to simplify network management, namely Software-Defined Networking (SDN), will play a key role in such a development. The goal of this workshop is to identify challenges from the perspective of IXP customers and to initiate a discussion about their future needs.

Agenda

After the lunch break the competence group security will host another workshop on „Security Incident Management for Network Operators“.
