TFI2014 Conference Opening - ISOC Deployment & Operationalization
Download as PPT, PDF1 like290 views
The Internet Society works to promote an open and globally connected Internet through technology development, policy engagement, and operational best practices. It founded the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and runs programs like Deploy360 and Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP) to help operators deploy new technologies and standards. A recent survey found that while many operators are interested in IETF standards work, they face challenges like lack of time and travel budgets in directly engaging with or influencing the IETF process. The Internet Society aims to address these issues and facilitate more communication between operators and the IETF.
TFI2014 Conference Opening - ISOC Deployment & Operationalization
- 1. Deployment & Operationalization: Deploy360, Best Current Operational Practices, Operators & the IETF
- 2. What is the Internet Society? The Internet Society (ISOC) is a cause-based organization that works with governments, industries, and others to ensure the technologies and policies that helped develop and evolve the Internet will continue into the future. Our programs cultivate an Internet that is open to everyone, everywhere and aim to ensure that it will continue to be a tool for creativity, innovation, and economic growth. MISSION: To promote the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world.
- 3. How We Work To Protect Our Internet Operating at the intersection of policy, technology, and development allows the Internet Society to be a thought leader on issues key to the Internet’s continued growth and evolution. Technology Development Policy
- 4. History Founded in 1992 by Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn as an international nonprofit organization. The Internet Society is the organizational home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the primary entity responsible for establishing the Internet’s open standards and best practices.

- 9. About Deploy360 The Challenge: – The IETF creates protocols based on open standards, but some are not widely known or deployed – People seeking to implement these protocols are confused by a lack of clear, concise deployment information The Deploy360 Solution: – Provide hands-on information on IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS for applications, and Securing BGP to advance real-world deployment – Work with first adopters to collect and create technical resources and distribute these resources to fast following networks
- 11. Web Portal – www.internetsociety.org/deploy360 IPv6, DNSSEC, Securing BGP, TLS for Applications knowledge base including tutorials, case studies, training resources, etc. Content specific to: – Network Operators – Developers – Content Providers – Consumer Electronics Manufacturers – Enterprise Customers Blog posts Social media integration

Your Participation Visit and explore http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360 Create Content – Help us develop materials based on your experiences – We will credit your work Define New Features – Tell us what you need to get started on your own deployment – We have the flexibility to make changes/additions Contact us: deploy360@isoc.org
- 16. Next Steps Adding more content – Clearly defined content growth using published roadmaps for IPv6, DNSSEC, Securing BGP, and TLS for applications – Actively engaged with industry professionals to curate or create deployment content Adding features based on audience feedback (including yours!) Adding information in multiple languages Increasing blogging and social media efforts
- 17. Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP)
- 18. Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP) – THE CHALLENGE There is currently no quick and easy way for an operator to find and reference all of the best practices for immediate use in administering their local network There is too much clutter in the IT landscape for network operators to easily find reliable, vetted, user-friendly documentation There may be a need for a globally recognized document series that details the best practices for operationalizing Internet technologies
- 19. BCOP Repositories – POTENTIAL SOLUTION We believe neutral and regionally organized document repositories that describe best current operational practices could help: – Speed deployment of technologies such as IPv6 and DNSSEC – Make the routing infrastructure more resilient – Simplify network deployments for less experienced operators These documents should be written by experienced operators and be globally accessible to everyone in an open and neutral location without fees We are committed to assisting in the creation and promotion of these repositories

- 21. Operators & the IETF
- 22. Project Rationale In a perfect world: – Operators participate in the IETF standards process – New standards work perfectly once deployed – Deployment and operationalization concerns are addressed – Operators know when to participate, and do so in a timely manner In reality: – Network operators are not engaged enough in the IETF process – Many operators do not join IETF mailing lists or attend meetings – Operators do not know standards are even under development – Standards deemed ready by recent IETF attendees sometimes turn out to be problematic in operational networks
- 23. ISOC’s Role The discussion about operator input (or lack thereof) into the IETF process is not new, but there was very little hard data to back up anecdotal evidence DO created and marketed an online survey in 2014 to understand the operators’ issues so that we can address the concerns and ultimately help make better standards We are working to facilitate communications between operators and the IETF to help ensure operational realities inform standards development
- 24. Initial Survey Results (Part 1) Most survey participants were Operators/Engineers/Architects; more than 90% hold primarily technical roles Many have heard of the IETF and know what it does, but do not know how to participate A strong majority claim they are interested in IETF mailing lists, find the content relevant, believe it’s important to their jobs, but don’t have enough time to participate in mailing lists
- 25. Initial Results (Part 2) ~50% do not participate in the IETF in any form; ~30% participate only on mailing lists +50% believe operator input is welcome; 64% say they do NOT rely on vendors to represent them 50% of respondents claim to have a managerial role 82% say that they do not have a travel budget for IETF meetings
- 26. Next Steps Analyze and synthesize survey results and feedback Collect data into an IETF Internet-Draft, including a report on the challenges to greater operator engagement and a summary of potential solutions, including: – Things operators and operator groups can do to help provide more input – Things the IETF can do to help operators participate – Things ISOC can do to help facilitate greater operator engagement

- #4: The Internet Society works globally, across the broad range of policy, technology, and development, which allows it to bring unique perspectives and insight about how to address some of the significant issues facing the Internet today.
- #5: The Internet Society is the parent corporation of the IETF. However, the Internet Society itself grew out of the IETF, to support those functions that require a corporate form rather than simply the ad hoc approach of the IETF. In reality, the Internet Society was formed because the IETF Secretariat, which had been operated under NSF contract by staff at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) would not be supported beyond 1991 by NSF. The then Internet Activities Board sought to create a non-profit institution that could provide financial support for the IETF Secretariat among other things. CNRI served as the first host for the Internet Society's operation.
- #6: 100+ organization members Tens of thousands of individual members 90+ chapters worldwide Regional Bureaus: Africa, Europe, Latin America & Caribbean, North America, South & South East Asia
