IEEE NetSoft 2023 review

Danny A. Lachos Perez, Senior Network Engineer at BENOCS, leading a workshop at IEEE Netsoft 2023

From June 19-23, BENOCS senior network engineer Danny A. Lachos Perez attended IEEE NetSoft 2023 and had this to say:

“The IEEE NetSoft is the flagship annual conference on Network Softwarization, and I had the opportunity to represent BENOCS at its 9th edition held in Madrid, Spain last week. I attended inspiring Keynote Talks, technical presentations, and demo sessions. I was also chairing the co-located Workshop on Intent-Based Networking (WIN’2023), with very interesting presentations and panel discussions regarding the interaction between network management systems and end-users. NetSoft also included an extensive social program that was used to (re-)start discussions for future collaboration activities with different industry and academic institutions, including Telefonica (Spain), Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil), Nokia (France), and Universitas Mercatorum – University of Italian Chambers of Commerce (Italy).”

Exciting week coming up for our colleague Danny A. Lachos Perez. From Monday, Danny will be taking part in IEEE NetSoft 2023 in Madrid, Spain.

The event includes co-located workshops: BENOCS is industry track chair and also on the technical program committee of the Intent-Based Networking workshop (WIN’2023) on June 19. At the workshop, Danny will chair the Technical Session 2: IBN Prototyping Initiatives (https://lnkd.in/eJe3matb).

Really looking forward to what insights Danny brings back to Berlin with him!

TNC23

Opening Ceremony TNC23

In the first week of June, Hari attended TNC23 in Albania, a first for us here at BENOCS:

“It was an eye-opening experience attending my first TNC in Tirana, Albania and listening to all the NRENs from different parts of the world such as GÉANT, NORDUnet, SUNET, CANARIE, UbuntuNet Alliance and many more. A common theme I noticed among all the NRENs is how passionate they are about working for the educational insitutions and the longevity of certain people in the industry, not to forget the openness of the community.

Special thanks to the organizers of this year’s TNC, RASH – Academic Network of Albania, who with their amazing hospitality and planning truly made this experience more memorable.

I’m certain the gathered insights will help us shape BENOCS Analytics in the right direction.

Looking forward to TNC’24 in Rennes!”

NDSI ’23

Twilight photo of buidlings and highrises in Boston, with a river and boats in the foreground. The text at the top-right reads: "NSDI '23, Boston, Apr 17-19. See you there!" At the bottom left is the white BENOCS logo.

BENOCS CTO Ingmar Poese will take a trip across the pond to Boston to participate in NDSI ’23, the 20th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation. During the technical sessions on Wednesday, April 19, a research paper Ingmar co-authored with Tobias Bühler, Romain Jacob, and Laurent Vanbever, all from ETH Zürich, entitled “Enhancing Global Network Monitoring with Magnifier”, will be presented. In the paper the authors propose an alternative to traffic sampling to monitor global networks: “magnifying” the sampling coverage by complementing it with mirroring.
