Re: Software Defined Networks

SDN is definitely an overloaded and confusing term that is used inconsistently. Here are a few attempts to explain: - “The Road to SDN: An Intellectual History of Programmable Networks” (ACM Queue, December 2013) https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2560327

This isn't a direct answer to the question, but I find this paper pretty useful (even though it is dated now): Beyond Folklore: Observations on Fragmented Traffic by Colleen Shannon, David Moore, and k claffy IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, December 2002

Job, Fun! More generally, BGP has the same computing power as a Turing Machine: Marco Chiesa, Luca Cittadini, Guiseppe Di Battista, Laurent Vanbever, and Stefano Vissicchio Using routers to build logic circuits: How powerful is BGP? (ICNP'13)

Re: rpki vs. secure dns?

the worry in the ripe region and elsewhere is what i call the 'virginia court attack', also called the 'dutch court attack'. some rights holder claims their movie is being hosted in your datacenter and they get the RIR to jerk the attestation to your ownership of the prefix or your ROA.

Re: Router and interface naming convention survey

suggestive of a different location (e.g., because a network administrator did not update the DNS entries for the interface names). See Ming Zhang, Yaoping Ruan, Vivek Pai, and Jennifer Rexford, How DNS misnaming distorts Internet topology mapping, Proc. USENIX Annual Technical Conference, May

Re: Do Not Complicate Routing Security with Voodoo Economics

One could argue that rejecting routes which you previously had no way to know you should reject will inherently alter the routing system and that this is probably a good thing. Good point. Also, tie breaking in favor of signed-and-verified routes over not-signed-and-verified routes does

Re: Do Not Complicate Routing Security with Voodoo Economics

to me honest, what set me off was http://transition.fcc.gov/pshs/advisory/csric3/wg-descriptions_v1 describing, among others, a routing working group of an fcc communications security, reliability and interoperability council i.e. these folk plan to write policy and procedures for
