What is RIPE Local Hub?

Local Hubs are in-person gatherings that take place in parallel to the RIPE Meeting. They allow registered participants to watch the webcast of the RIPE Meeting, follow the discussions and participate online via chat, audio, or video. Best of all, they can network with other community members from your country, experience the community spirit, and discuss topics from a local perspective.

The Internet of Tomorrow Must Sleep More and Grow Old
Romain Jacob, ETH Zürich

Today, the ICT industry has a massive carbon footprint (a few percent of worldwide emissions) and one of the fastest growth rates. The Internet accounts for a large part of that footprint while being also energy inefficient, i.e., the total energy cost per byte transmitted is very high. Thankfully, there are many ways to improve the current status; we discuss two relatively unexplored directions in this paper.

Putting network devices to “sleep,” i.e., turning them off, is known to be an efficient vector to save energy; we argue that harvesting this potential requires new routing protocols, better suited to devices switching on/off often, and revising the corresponding hardware/software co-design. Moreover, we can reduce the embodied carbon footprint by using networking hardware longer, and we argue that this could even be beneficial for reliability! We sketch our first ideas in these directions and outline practical challenges that we (as a community) need to address to make the Internet more sustainable.

The RIR Social Contract
Randy Bush

What is our Social Contract with RIPE, the NCC, and the RIRs?
What do we expect from them and them from us?
And, BTW, who are we?

Using IXPmanager to Run a Transit Provider Network
Silvan Gebhardt, Openfactory GmbH

At freetransit - we are a tunnel broker that brings first comers online by giving them access to a full table and providing them with transit to larger networks.

As the demand for such tunnels increased, we have started using IXPmanager as a means to automate filter updates, RIPE updates etc., which are generally used as a means for an IXP RS but can easily be used for a transit network.

The presentation will show how we built freetransit based on existing tools, as I am not a programmer and I cannot write a tool stack from scratch.

Egress Monitoring at Scale
Alexander Azimov, Yango

The life of SRE engineer can be tricky. Especially if you are responsible for reacting to outages that are external to your network. And such a situation is quite common for those who work with external connectivity and peering policies.

In this report, I will put the light on how to build a multilayer monitoring system for external connectivity using the "know thyself" principle.
