Instructors: Alejandro Acosta, Jordi Palet, Ariel Weher, Felipe Rivera, Matías Sentanaro, Gonzalo Escuder Bell, Eduardo Barasal Morales

This tutorial is intended for participants who have prior experience with the IPv6 protocol and wish to further their knowledge on IPv6 operation. Contents include:

• Introduction to IPv6 and its advantages
• Comparison of various transition mechanisms
• IPv6 with PPPoE
• Dual-stack mobile networks
• Dual-stack residential networks

There will be a live demonstration of each topic, which may include:

Capturing packets with Wireshark, configuring online devices, creating labs, etc.

TUTORIAL: Resource Management / Mi LACNIC

Monday 18 - 09.00 - 11.00 hs
Sala: Picasso, piso 4
Instructors: Rodrigo Zambrana, José Varela, Sergio Rojas.

Earlier this year, LACNIC launched (a beta version of) a new resource management system called MiLACNIC, which, in addition to the features currently available (sub-assignments, rDNS delegation, managing users, etc.), centralizes payments (adding Paypal as a new payment method) and the Resource Certification System (RPKI).

The main goal of this tutorial is for participants to gain an in-depth understanding of MiLACNIC's features and how to use them.

It has been designed for representatives of organizations that are already members of LACNIC and have been assigned IPv4 and/or IPv6 resources directly by LACNIC.

Participants who are technically responsible for a LACNIC member organization can log on to LACNIC's Resource Management System with their corresponding username and password.

No computers will be available in the room for this tutorial, so participants are advised to bring a laptop, tablet, or any other Internet-enabled device.

Important:
Because LACNIC NIRs use a different platform, the materials shown during the presentation cannot be applied by members of organizations in Brazil and Mexico.

TUTORIAL: BGP/RPKI

Monday 18 - 14.00 - 18.00 hs
Sala: Picasso, piso 4
Instructors: Mariela Rocha, Guillermo Cicileo, Gerardo Rada, Erika Vega

Description

In the context of the global Internet, BGP operation involves complex aspects that have recently been compounded by certain security events such as route hijacking and route leaks.

This is a two-part tutorial. The first session will present an introduction to the BGP protocol, as well as recommendations and current best practices both for carrier/ISP as well as for end-user organization environments.

The second part will introduce some trends in routing security, specifically origin validation using resource certification (RPKI).

• Principles of BGP operation and best practices
• Route hijacking and leaking
• Resource certification (RPKI)
• Creation of ROAs

The tutorial will include hands-on exercises, so we recommend that participants bring their own laptop computers.

TUTORIAL: Collaborative Leadership Exchange on Infrastructure for Development

Monday 18 - 14.00 - 18.00 hs 
Room: Palas Atenea, Floor 25
Instructor: Michael Fox

Multistakeholder participation is critical to the growth of the Internet and to the development of critical resources. Thus, some organizations, such as the Internet Society, have been developing platforms and programmes that model and address multistakeholder participation to prepare the next generation of Internet leaders to capably tackle the complex issues at the intersection of technology, policy and business.

Following this approach, the main objective of the "Collaborative Leadership Exchange on Infrastructure for Development" is to bring together interested people to network, build relationships, exchange ideas, discuss key local /regional Internet governance issues, and explore applicable solutions.

The format of this 4-hour session will be an unconference with equal parts of peer-to-peer style learning, engagement, networking and relationship building, fostering interactive discussions and promotion of increased collaboration among stakeholders in the Internet ecosystem.

Instead of passive listening, all attendees are encouraged to become active participants, with the moderator providing structure for attendees and stimulating debate. The participants create the agenda for the session with all of them coming up with topics they want to discuss during the breakout sessions.

Since the number of people in the room is limited to 60, we would need you to PRE-REGISTER HERE!

We look forward to having you among the participants!

Tutorial: Network monitoring and troubleshooting made easy

Wednesday 20 - 09.00 - 13.00 hs - Room: Conference, piso 4
Instructors: Michela Galante, Massimo Candela

General summary:

The RIPE NCC is building the world's largest Internet measurement network with the help of the global Internet community. With more than 10,000 probes connected all over the world, RIPE Atlas provides operators with an objective view of the Internet - and their own networks - from thousands of vantage points.

Learn how to:

- Use RIPE Atlas measurements for network monitoring and troubleshooting
- Use API calls for measurement creation
- Use RIPE Atlas Command Line Interface Tools
- Integrate RIPE Atlas with existing monitoring systems

Additional content:

RIPEstat: interface that provides information about IP address space, Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), and related information for hostnames and countries.
 

Peering Tutorial

Wednesday 20 - 14.00 - 18.00 hs
Sala: Conference, piso 4
Instructores: Nicolás Antoniello, Arturo Servín, Carlos Martínez, Guillermo Cicileo

Description:

This tutorial will analyze the basics of Traffic Exchange, Peering and CDNs and discuss their business relationships as well as relevant technical aspects.

Specific topics to be addressed in this workshop include how, who with, and where to implement peering relationships, what type of traffic exchanges should be used, how to analyze network traffic in order to make better interconnection decisions, where to register peering sites and polices, and best practices for using BGP for peering.

Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of BGP.

TUTORIAL: Applying SDN, NFV, DevOps and Cloud in Latin America

Friday 22 May, 9.00 - 13.00 hs –  Conference Room, 4th floor

Instructors: José Miguel Guzmán, Gianpietro Lavado

This tutorial seeks to explain the concepts of SDN, NFV, Cloud and DevOps applied to networks (NetDevOps), in clear and neutral terms and with a focus on cases that are feasible in our region. We will analyze the advantages of applying NetDevOps concepts to any type of network and how to achieve this, in addition to different types of SDN implementations, myths and truths about SD-WAN, as well as hyper-scalable cloud implementation models for applications and network functions (NFV). To conclude, we will discuss what it would take to increase the adoption of these technologies and methodologies in our region.

Program

Part 1: Key concepts (1.5 hours)

- The true Cloud

- NetDevOps: DevOps applied to networks

- SDN. What is it and how do we bring it down to earth?

- The future of networks with NFV

Part 2: Analysis and use cases (1.5 hours)

- Automating any type of network with NetDevOps

- Segment Routing and OpenFlow. Two types of SDN or a transition?

- SD-WAN vs MPLS VPN

- Hyper-scalable Cloud and business models

- Building NFV, from simple to complex

Part 3: Debate (0.5 hours)

- What does Latin America need to implement these technologies?
