9:30 AM BNG Blaster Hands-On Training

This workshop is designed to provide participants with a practical introduction and best practices for using the BNG Blaster for testing. Each participant will be provided with a test environment that includes a pre-configured DUT (Device Under Test) for the workshop duration. There will be various exercises available in areas such as Access (PPPoE, L2TP, etc.) and Routing (ISIS, BGP, etc.), which participants can utilize. These exercises can be customized, or participants can develop their own tests.

Participants with their own test environments are welcome to use them and will receive support from us in using these environments effectively.

Requirements:

1. Participants must bring their own laptops to access the test
   environment via SSH.
2. Basic knowledge of networking concepts is
   recommended.

Note:
A brief introduction to the BNG Blaster will be provided, but it is recommended that attendees watch one of the previous talks on this topic beforehand (DKNOG14 / DENOG15).

Speaker: Christian Giese
