11:05: Submarine fibre developments across the Pacific and the benefits to network operators

• Garret Yoshimi (VPIT and CIO, University of Hawaii)
• Abstract: Submarine fibre developments across the Pacific and the benefits to (R&E) network operators - the session will examine the accelerated deployment of submarine fibre systems in the Pacific over the past several years, and look at some of the current proposed systems that may add to the capacity over the next few years. In particular, we’ll look at the role that research and education (R&E) operators can fill as anchor tenants of these submarine fibre systems, and the growing fabric of interconnected networks covering the region.

11:35: Routing Security is more than RPKI

• Geoff Huston (Chief Scientist, APNIC)
• Abstract: In recent years there has been much in the way of focus on a secure infrastructure for IP addresses, the RPKI and its use to secure the BGP inter-domain routing protocol. However there is no such thing as a universal single solution to routing security and in this presentation I would like to illustrate the proposition that there is so much more to routing security than just RPKI and route validation, using some recent and not so recent examples to illustrate where RPKI-based mechanisms could’ve help and where they just would not be relevant to the incident
