In our twelfth episode, we're talking all things Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) with Job Snijders, Principal Engineer at Fastly.Job shares his thoughts on the benefits of managing an RPKI publication point, including the experience and insights it can give you. We also touch on a recent IETF proposal he has assisted with that seeks to provide clearer, authenticated proof of the intent by address delegates and the future of routing securing including IRR and BGPsec.Check out RPKI @ APNIC (https://www.apnic.net/rpki-at-apnic/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=rpki@apnic&utm_content=campaign) portal for more information on RPKI as well as useful deployment case studies, how-to posts and links to hands-on APNIC Academy lessons and labs.The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our eleventh episode, we are again talking to APNIC's Chief Scientist, Geoff Huston, this time about certificate revocation.This has been a hotly debated subject for some time, namely whether it still serves a purpose given that many web browsers give you the option to ignore revoked certificates or ignore them for you. We'll discuss this and possible solutions to addressing the revocation processes issues.You can read more about certificate revocation on the APNIC Blog (https://blog.apnic.net/?s=certificate+revocation), including a post from Geoff: What’s going on with certificate revocation? (https://blog.apnic.net/2022/03/22/whats-going-on-with-certificate-revocation/)The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our tenth episode, we're talking all things submarine cables with Alan Mauldin, who is a Research Director at TeleGeography.Synonymous with their submarine cable maps, TeleGeography also offers a range of open-source data surrounding the health of the Internet, as we'll come to learn.Read about the latest submarine cable research (https://blog.apnic.net/tag/submarine-cable/) on the APNIC Blog.The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our ninth episode, APNIC's Chief Scientist, Geoff Huston, and I chat with Reliance Jio's Senior Executive Vice President, Mr Nagaraj, who oversees the design, architecture and engineer of Jio's IP network as well as operational support.With more than 420 million mobile users and 260 million cable users, Reliance Jio has grown to become one of the largest telcos in the world in less than a decade. How were they able to do this in the age of IPv4 exhaustion? By deploying IPv6 from the get-go. Mr Nagaraj takes us through the discussions he had in convincing his management and vendors to go IPv6 and the future of the Jio network, including working more closely with content providers to bring content closer to users than before.You can also read an abbreviated transcript of this discussion on the APNIC Blog: https://blog.apnic.net/2022/03/03/podcast-taking-ipv6-by-the-horns/ (https://blog.apnic.net/2022/03/03/podcast-taking-ipv6-by-the-horns/)The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our eighth episode, we're talking to Willem Toorop, Luuk Hendricks and Tom Carpay of NLnet Labs, about how eXpress Data Path, or XDP as it’s better known, can be used to improve the performance of DNS resolvers and increase the versatility of name servers, as well as perform low-level measurements on high-speed links.This is a project that they've been working on for at least two years now and as you'll come to learn has now started to bear fruits and make the networking community stand up and pay attention to the capabilities and potential of XDP.You can also read about their journey via the APNIC Blog: blog.apnic.net/tag/xdp/ (https://gate.sc?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.apnic.net%2Ftag%2Fxdp%2F&token=1474e5-1-1644966523350)The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our seventh episode, we are talking again to APNIC's Chief Scientist, Geoff Huston, regarding all things time.We wander through the ways that humans have measured time and discuss the challenges of current Internet timekeepers in trying to make sure time is current — a very important element when securing a network — including how to handle leap seconds and how a recent announcement of the world’s first hardware implementation of network time protocol will assist with securing time on the Internet.You can read more on Network Time Protocol (https://blog.apnic.net/tag/ntp/) on the APNIC Blog, including a post from Geoff on leap seconds: Is the Internet running late? (https://blog.apnic.net/2018/11/28/is-the-internet-running-late/)Also, check out Netnod's white paper on the world’s first hardware implementation of NTS (https://www.netnod.se/netnod-white-paper-on-the-worlds-first-nts-hardware-implementation).The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our sixth episode, we are talking to Romain Fontugne a senior researcher from Internet Initiative Japan, whose research interests include detecting network traffic anomalies and visualizing network traffic.Romain shares some best practices for collecting and using open data for researching the Internet and discusses the need to have an objective in mind when trying to make sense of the data and why you're collecting it.The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our fifth episode, we are talking again to APNIC's Chief Scientist, Geoff Huston, regarding a recent presentation he sat in on at DNS OARC 36 about Slack's unfortunate 24-hour outage on 30 September 2021, where 1% of its users (almost 100,000 users) weren't able to access Slack, due to an issue with deploying it's DNSSEC. We'll discuss two themes that Geoff has blogged about and discussed on this show this year: managing and securing the DNS is difficult but necessary, and the need for greater transparency in the industry when discussing things that have gone wrong, so that the community can learn from them to make sure they don’t happen again.You can read Geoff's account on this presentation here: Notes from DNS-OARC 36 (https://blog.apnic.net/2021/12/07/notes-from-dns-oarc-36/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=PING&utm_term=E5&utm_content=description)Also, here is a link to Slack's account of the situation that we refer to in the show: The Case of the Recursive Resolvers (https://slack.engineering/what-happened-during-slacks-dnssec-rollout/)The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our fourth episode, we talk with Comcast's Jason Livingood, regarding a recent post he wrote about how Comcast has reduced its working latency through Active Queue Management by 90%! We'll talk about these results as well as the fundamental changes in the way that researchers are now looking at latency and its effect on overall Internet quality.You can read the post here: Working latency — the next QoE frontier (https://blog.apnic.net/2021/12/02/working-latency-the-next-qoe-frontier/).The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

In our third episode, we are talking again to APNIC's Chief Scientist, Geoff Huston, regarding a recent post he wrote following IETF 111 where a call for 'running code' was excavated from the past during one working group discussion and made Geoff question what has become of the standards process.You can read the post here: Running code at the IETF (https://blog.apnic.net/2021/08/20/running-code-at-ietf/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=PING&utm_content=description).The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.
