Description

Internet exchange points are not like your typical connectivity mechanism, while they present themselves as simple layer 2 broadcast domains, almost all exchanges that do significant amounts of traffic have to utilise mechanisms that allow very subtle and hard to discover faults to appear.

I was hired on contract to build an open source system for an internet exchange to help discover these problems. In this talk I will go and outline what the core problem is that we are looking to detect, how I went about detecting it, and some of the interesting challenges that I encountered along the way.

Talk Duration 25 Minutes Presentation (+5 Minutes Q&A)
