Numerous tutorials, workshops, presentations and demonstrations were delivered during the 5 days event. On 25, 26, 28 and 29 March 2018, the event was hosted at Matrix, Biopolis. On 27 March 2018, the APAN45 Meeting co-located with SupercomputingAsia 2018 (SCA18). This was organized by the National Supercomputing Centre, Singapore (NSCC) at Resorts World Singapore Convention Centre.
APAN (the Asia Pacific Advanced Network) supports the R&E networks in the region to help them to connect to each other and to other R&E networks around the world, allows knowledge to be exchanged, and coordinates the activities, services and applications of its members for common good.. APAN was established in June 1997, and currently holds two meetings per year.
Kevin Meynell spoke the Network Engineering Workshop on Wednesday, 28 March 2018, 11.00 – 12.30 SGT (UTC+8).
This workshop was for network engineers & NOC staff who are working on integrating R&E networking in the Asia-Pacific and with the rest of the world, including APAN and GEANT/Asi@Connect, to support advanced intercontinental applications.
The abstract is as follows:
The MANRS (Mutually Assured Norms for Routing Security) Routing Security Initiative attempts to address some of the trust-based issues of BGP by encouraging network operators to subscribe to four actions including filtering, anti-spoofing, coordination and address prefix validation. This will present some of the problems with the current global routing system, how these can be addressed, the business and societal case for doing so, and also some of the resources being developed to support this, including a monitoring/warning system.
