This 19th edition will focus on the current state of IPv6 deployment. This protocol is now becoming essential with the explosion of connected objects and the shortage of IPv4. However, its implementation remains a complex stage and difficult to be adopted by all.

We will provide a reminder on how IPv6 works as well as possible deployments. We will also discuss routing differences according to protocol and operators, as well as good practices related to IPv6.

See you next September 21th!

The next RUG (Rezopole User Group) is held on April 6th from 9:00 to 12:00 am at the Rezopole premises.

This edition will focus on the importance of referencing your BGP policy in third-party databases and best practices for implementing BGPs.

The BGP Protocol, which was established in 1994, has since been further developed, in particular through external reference points such as:

• RIPE declarations
• RPKI signatures
• peeringDB

The Rezopole team will present in detail these different tools and the challenges generated by their use.

L'équipe technique de Rezopole a finalisé la phase de test des équipements 100G qui s'est déroulée sur 6 semaines. Les équipements en concurrence étaient : Cisco Nexus 9236C, EdgeCore AS7712 & Huawei CE8860.

Les équipements ont été testés sur plusieurs critères : leur interopérabilité avec le protocole de Fabric Ethernet (Trill), le support des différents types de Fabric IP (VXLAN/EVPN) ainsi que leur interopérabilité dans un environnement multi-constructeur. La viabilité de plusieurs topologies a aussi été mise à l'épreuve ce qui fera l'objet d'un prochain RUG.
Au terme de cette phase de test, les équipements Huawei se sont avérés les plus adaptés à l'intégration à l'infrastructure actuelle de LyonIX. Grâce à la forte interopérabilité avec les autres équipements, à la réactivité pour l'implémentation de nouvelles caractéristiques (ex : VXLAN & EVPN), et à leur modularité permise par leur format en châssis 2U, les matériels Huawei permettent une plus grande souplesse dans la migration du 10G vers le 100G.

The Rezopole User Group was held at the Rezopole premises on March 31st. Rezopole had the pleasure to receive Rémi Lapeyrade, researcher at the CNRS-LAAS; who presented the SDN project at the TOUIX IXP.

The participants discovered the TOUSIX project networks architecture as well as the equipment (Pica8 among others) and software used like the Openflow for a programmable ASIC configuration.

The TouSIX project is focused on research. The infrastructure is above all a technical and scientific demonstration seen as a typical model applicable to the SDN transition. However, the results show that it is possible to take radical routes (programmable ASIC) consistent with production environments.

The SDN advantage in this context is to improve the scalability, resilience and security. The advantage is also a better control of networks equipment.

Ronan Bianic from Rezopole team presented a report on the Juniper hackathon (project in partnership between Juniper and France-IX) that was held in Paris. The presentation was about the network deployment automation technologies via "ansible" and the VXLAN implementation,  tunneling technology above IP.

These points should be examined in greater depth, that would probably be the theme of the next RUG.

The next RUG (Rezopole User Group) is held on March 31st, 2017 from 9 to 12 am at the Rezopole premises. This edition will be about Software Defined Network (SDN) including an example of its implementation at the Toulouse Internet eXchange Point (TouIX) presented by Remy Lapeyrade.

Rémy Lapeyrade obtained an engineering degree in Networks and Telecom at the UPSSITECH school, Toulouse. He is PhD at the CNRS-LAAS in the framework of the TouSIX project. His research is focused on the scalability, resilience and security improvement of Internet eXchange Points by using the SDN technologies.

Program:

• Breakfast

        - Context

        - TouIX IXP transition

        - Deployment

        - Conclusion
