I am planning to have a workshop on Tue 19th at 3pm at AQL offices. It may be a separate room to the UKNOF work. Try and turn up 10 minutes before.
The plan is 30 minutes to an hour just covering how PPP, L2TP and RADIUS interact. In particular things like proxy authentication, and negotiation sequences to help people understand packet dumps, and generally how it works. There seems to be some confusion on how all this hangs together in a typical set up. Idea is to cover how this works in scenarios covering - BT Wholesale WBMC WBC - BT Wholesale WBMC IPSC - Be Wholesale - AQL mobile data SIMs In particular some of the quirks of the mobile side which may not be what you expect. It is not a sales pitch, honest, though obviously my experience coding this all from A&A and FireBrick is relevant to explaining it all! If you are doing anything with AQLs data SIMs this is probably useful, but I expect it is useful for anyone technical, regardless. I'll try and make up a few slides, but I want it to be pretty interactive and more of a workshop that preaching (yes, I am a Reverend and we will be in a Church. I don't plan to read from RFCs). I'll see if we can find some good example PPP/L2TP/RADIUS traces in wireshark or tcpdump to explain in detail as well. Thanks to AQL for hosting this. All welcome.
