11:35: Keeping Local Traffic Local by Doing Local Peering
- Che-Hoo Cheng, Infrastructure & Development Director, APNIC
- Abstract: To help Internet development with faster and
cheaper Internet access in Pacific Islands which have multiple
network operators, it is essential to keep local traffic local by
doing local peering. In this talk, the speaker will talk about the
concept of peering and the benefits of local peering. He will also
talk about the roles of Internet exchange Points (IXPs) to
facilitate easier local peering and will share his experience in
operating an IXP.

12:10: Secure Internet Routing
- Tashi Phuntsho, Training Delivery Manager, APNIC
- Abstract: Why do we keep seeing news headlines about major
networks not being reachable because traffic got rerouted to
somewhere else? BGP mishaps are very common and frighteningly very
easy. Examples are malicious route hijacking, mis-origination (fat
fingers), and bad filters (route leaks). We need better mechanism to
ensure no one can inject false information into the global routing
system that easily.
This presentation looks at current tools/techniques, how RPKI is
just a piece in the puzzle, and we could all do instead of waiting
for ideal solution that fixes all issues.
