With BMP (BGP Monitoring Protocol) readily available on all major routing
platforms, operators have the opportunity to get a view of their networks
that's more comprehensive than ever before.
Crucially, one needs to collect all this information and make sense of
it, ideally without having to invest too much time. In this lightning talk, we
present Rotonda, enabling operators to do just that: get started with BMP
effortlessly, while providing the scalability and flexibility to monitor any
network, any use case.
Rotonda is free and open source route collection and analysis software
developed by NLnet Labs. We'll introduce BMP, highlight and showcase the main
features of Rotonda, and hopefully spark interest to continue the conversation
afterwards.
Ever since his studies at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, Luuk has
had an interest in measuring the Internet, often from a security perspective.
Ranging from intrusion detection algorithms based on network flow data to measuring IPv6 intricacies, he always used and produced open source software to support his research.
After finishing his studies, Luuk found his natural fit at NLnet Labs, the
Amsterdam-based not-for-profit organisation striving for an open and secure
Internet by means of open source software and open standards development in DNS
and routing since 1999. As a Research Engineer working on the Rotonda project,
Luuk now focuses on enabling operators to get better insights on how routing
(security) solutions affect their networks.
