This, please 😍

Linux Performance tuning for Network Workloads. There are a ton of things like Aligning PCIe IRQ's, Workflows required for SRIOV/DPDK and OVS performance. And how to adequately test and RCA issues with the Network Stack. Tweaking sysctl, huge-page allocations and Processor cores etc.

Possibly/maybe something I would be willing to throw my hat into the ring on if there is enough interest. I can think of a few others who have been dabbling in this space locally for some-time who are likely better sources tho.

I am wondering perhaps if Tuning could be wrapped into the SDN bits. Generally goes hand in hand.

I'm sure if you want to develop a curriculum around tuning, someone will want it for a tutorial or workshop. I figure it takes around a week to develop and polish each full day of talks and labs.

Alternatively you can suggest a topic where someone has already done all that work, and offered it for free for the NOG meeting.

I know this seems somewhat 'not networking' but it's actually been the majority of what our clients struggle with for the last couple of years.

Hi all

As part of NZNOG we normally offer a 3 day workshop (Mon to Wed) and a few tutorials on the Wednesday.

APNIC have the following workshops/tutorials offered at the moment.

https://training.apnic.net/courses/

We're seeking feedback (on or off list) on what people may want.

Note, most recently we've had a 1 day Network Security tutorial (Queenstown) and a 3 day MPLS workshop (Tauranga).

Ideas for next year:

-3 day Network Security -3 day Routing I -3 day SDN (5 days condensed in to 3 days) -3 day DNSSEC

-1 day IPv6 essentials -1 day DNSSEC -1/2 day BGP techniques

Or, what else would people like to see at NZNOG (workshop and tutorial wise) that APNIC don't offer?

On-list discussion encouraged :)

Cheers Dave
