All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although
we're particularly keen to hear more about operational and security
related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for
newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who
want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve
resilience, security and privacy. (These topics we think will complement
the usual high-quality data-based research submissions we always hope to
receive!)
If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies
outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if it's good,
we'll be happy to include it.
You can also contact us directly at [email protected] if you
would like to ask about the suitability of a potential presentation
submission topic.
If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick,
here's a non-exhaustive list
of ideas:
1. Operations & Deployment
- Configuration management, deployment processes, and
interoperability expeiences.
- Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software features.
2. Performance, Resilience & Scaling
- Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience.
- DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and metrics.
- Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and anomaly
detection.
3. Security, Privacy & Policy
- DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation.
- Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport, qname
minimization, data anonymization.
- Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and compliance.
4. Research & Innovation
- Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis.
- New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation namespace
management.
5. Lessons & Learnings
- Outage experiences, recovery stories, and cautionary tales
