04 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, Today begins the newest edition of four-yearly Dutch summer camping conferences for and by hackers: SHA2017. http://sha2017.org/ Since there is an overlap between topics and participants within the RIPE community, this is an invitation to the talks and workshops - a small selection was recommended, from more then 200 lectures. There is a special sub-selection relevant to Open Source WG. Read more about it in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/sha2017-hackers-camping-ripe-topics ... or if you are there too, get in touch :) Regards, Vesna Manojlovic Community Builder RIPE NCC

Agenda Open Source WG RIPE74, Budapest
by Martin Winter 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Agenda for The OpenSource WG session (May 11, 2017, RIPE74, Budapest) A. Administrative Matters (Working Group Chairs) . Welcome . finalize agenda . approval of minutes from previous WG meeting(s) . review of action list B. Kea - a modern DHCP server (Tomek Mrugalski, ISC) Version 1.2 of Kea, a new DHCP solution from ISC, was released in April. It adds a number of new features: a REST API that can expose management commands over an http/JSON interface, a sample python based management client that is scripting friendly, many new commands and much more. The presentation will describe several features not common in other servers: modular storage for leases and host reservations (CSV file, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra), scalability (millions of devices handled by a single instance), flex-id (a novel, flexible method of using arbitrary part of the DHCP packet to identify a device) and several others. A brief discussion about the Kea roadmap and perhaps a sneak preview of the upcoming features will conclude the talk. C. Turris Omnia and it's crowdfunding campaign (Ondrej Filip, cz.nic) Turris Omnia is an SW and HW open source router. A launch of its production was financed by crowdfunding campaign. This presentation will show pros and cons of such funding model. And also describe difficulties in manufacturing open source hardware. It will also discuss some future possibilities for open source router development. D. RPKI Tools (Andreas Reuter, FU Berlin) The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the fundamental routing protocol of the Internet. BGP is ultimately based on trust, which unfortunately is the cause of some glaring vulnerabilities. The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is part of an on-going effort to secure BGP. It provides attestation objects for Internet resources. In this talk, we first give a brief overview about the RPKI architecture, from repositories to BGP routers. Then, we introduce two open source RPKI tools, RPKI MIRO and RTRlib. RPKI MIRO is a framework to monitor and inspect RPKI repositories. Part of this is the RPKI Browser, a graphical user interface that gives convenient access to the structure of the RPKI and the content of RPKI objects. RTRlib is a C library that implements client functionality to gather data from RPKI caches and perform origin validation. It is used in several applications (e.g., Quagga) to validate and monitor BGP updates. These tools are helpful for researchers, developers of routing software, and network operators. E. FRRouting (Martin Winter, NetDEF) FRRouting is a new routing protocol suite which is based on Quagga and runs under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation. This talk introduces FRRouting. FRRouting aims to provide much faster and more test-driven development. The presentation looks at the motivation behind FRRouting, what new features it provides now, the future outlook and how to participate F. OpenSource Lightening Updates These are short updates on different relevant OpenSource projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins (if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net by noon on Tuesday during the RIPE if you want to present an update. Selection of talks are done on Tuesday afternoon. See you all in Budapest! Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip Open Source WG Chairs

by Reda Yam 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hello, I have a question regarding API documentation. I would like to get the upstream and downstream ASN owners of any particular ASN number. Can anyone guide me through the API call.... The documentation is so amazingly huge that for a non technical person like its easy to get lost. Thanks a lot! R. Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Agenda OpenSource-WG RIPE 73
by Martin Winter 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Here is the agenda for the OpenSource-WG at the upcoming RIPE 73: A. Administrative Matters (Working Group Chairs) [5..10 mins] . Welcome . finalize agenda . approval of minutes from previous WG meeting(s) . review of action list B. PCAP BGP Parser [15 mins] Network operations increasingly relies on tools and features to perform in-depth analysis of Internet routing behavior to optimize traffic flows or dissect DDoS attacks. In particular, IXPs commonly operate software routers such as BIRD or Quagga as BGP route servers. However, the implemented data processing features and tools are somewhat limited. BIRD does not support continues BGP exports, MRT dumps allow a post-best-path-selection view only, and the tshark BGP filtering capabilities are limited, just to name a few. In this talk we present a TCP dump BGP parser to overcome these limitations. The raw packets can be captured with tcpdump at the network interface of any software router and either be processed as a live-stream or stored and analyzed subsequently. For a post mortem analysis the BGP parser comes with a rich set of filters and export formats to meet the desired level of granularity. The presentation will showcase some compelling examples. Moreover, the tool can be extended as favored since it is available as open source project at GitHub. (Christoph Dietzel, DE-CIX) C. DHCPKit presentation [20 mins] DHCPKit is a fully customisable DHCPv6 server. It was initially written for ISPs to provision FttH customers, but because of it's flexible architecture it can be used in almost any setup. Behaviour can be customised with simple plugins. Some examples are an Apache Kafka based distributed looking glass, simple CSV-file based prefix delegation and rate limiting. This presentation will give an introduction to DHCPKit and show how it can be customised. (Sander Steffann) D. Automated management of Continuous Integration Jobs When you start testing your software using continuous integration you might start small where manual management is easy. But when you grow bigger it becomes tedious and there comes point in time when you have to do it automatically. In this presentation I will look at different approaches how to use your CI in automated way using reuseable configuration to describe a CI jobs on top of several Open Source CI tools: Jenkins Job Builder // Build Bot // Gitlab CI. (Ondřej Surý, CZ.NIC) E. OpenSource Lightening Updates [20 mins] These are short updates on different relevant OpenSource projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins (if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net by noon on Tuesday during the RIPE if you want to present an update. Selection of talks are done on Tuesday afternoon. Regards, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip OpenSource-WG Chairs
