Hello all, Please find below the draft agenda for our upcoming meeting during RIPE89. As usual, we have space for Lightning Talks. If you’re interested in doing one, please send a mail to opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net before the Tuesday of the meeting week. If you have any doubts about whether a topic would fit, or other questions, always feel free to contact us. Best regards, Marcos Sanz, Martin Winter and Sasha Romijn Working group chairs —— Thursday, October 31st, 11:00-12:30 CEST 1.

Leveraging Vagrant to Simulate Complex Systems for Network Application Development - Barry O’Donovan We need to model complex environments when developing web applications in a network engineering domain. These environments often consist of routers, switches, BGP daemons, SNMP daemons, looking glasses, and more. While mocking can be useful, it has limitations, and testing in a live production environment poses significant risks. This is where Vagrant — a tool designed to create and configure reproducible and portable development environments — can prove invaluable. In this talk, Barry O’Donovan will showcase how the IXP Manager project leverages Vagrant to simulate the complex network systems of an IXP. He will demonstrate the modeling of multiple Bird instances (both IXP-side and customer), integration of looking glasses to communicate with these Bird daemons, and the use of SNMP simulators to replicate IXP switches. The audience will gain an understanding of Vagrant and come away with concrete ideas on how it can be used to provide a comprehensive framework for developing and testing applications. 4. PiranhaBGP: Failure Detection in BGP Networks - Pascal Gloor PiranhaBGP provides a high-performance solution for rapid failure detection, analysis and debugging in BGP IP, VPN, and EVPN networks by efficiently collecting BGP updates and maintaining the state of each BGP speaker in a centralized database. 5.
