The Early Internet and Measurement: Jon Crowcroft

The Early Internet and Measurement: Jon Crowcroft

Mirjam Kühne

The early Internet was not only about designing transport protocols, developing control planes, and understanding how to build faster physical transports. Measurement played a huge role in understanding what needed to be changed, what needed to be developed and understanding why the protocols that …

Routing Software - GateD Open Source Routing Stack: Sue Hares

Routing Software - GateD Open Source Routing Stack: Sue Hares

Mirjam Kühne

Sue Hares, cochair of the IDR and I2RS working groups in the IETF, joins Donald Sharp and Russ White to talk about the origins of one of the first open source routing stacks, GateD. Sue was involved in MERIT and the university programs that originated this open source software, and managed its tran…

BSD and the TCP/IP Stack: Rodney Grimes

BSD and the TCP/IP Stack: Rodney Grimes

Mirjam Kühne

BSD is one of the first UNIX implementations, and the IP stack in BSD is one of the first widely used open-source implementations of TCP/IP. Rodney Grimes joins us at the History of Networking to talk about the origins of BSD and these first IP implementations.

M-TCP: Olivier Bonaventure

M-TCP: Olivier Bonaventure

Mirjam Kühne

MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) is an effort towards enabling the simultaneous use of several IP-addresses/interfaces by a modification of TCP that presents a regular TCP interface to applications, while in fact spreading data across several subflows. Benefits of this include better resource utilisation, bet…

Interop: Dan Lynch

Interop: Dan Lynch

Mirjam Kühne

Interop is the longest running "show" in the networking space, but it didn't not start as a "show" at all. Dan Lynch, the founder of Interop, joins us at the History of Networking to talk about how Interop really started (hint, it's in the name). One important lesson to learn through this discussio…

BGP Churn and Addpaths: Daniel Walton

BGP Churn and Addpaths: Daniel Walton

Mirjam Kühne

BGP is a nondeterminstic protocol, which means it can converge on different paths depending on the order in which they are received. In this recording, Daniel Walton talks about the discovery and research around BGP churn, and the solutions the routing community adopted to solve the problem.

BGP Security: Geoff Huston

BGP Security: Geoff Huston

Mirjam Kühne

BGP, the protocol that "runs the Internet," is notoriously open to various kinds of attacks. Geoff Huston joins the history of networking to explain how we got to this point, and some of the attempts made at fixing it.
