NANOG Community, The NANOG Program Committee (PC) would like to remind you they are accepting proposals for all sessions at NANOG 82, June 14-16, 2021. Below is a summary of key details and dates from the Call For Presentations on the NANOG website, which can be found at https://www.nanog.org/participate/call-presentations/. Given by many of the industry’s top minds, presentations at NANOG meetings are meant to spark the imagination, encourage dialog, and drive new solutions to our greatest networking challenges. The PC is currently seeking proposals, and also welcomes suggestions for speakers and topics. Presentations may cover current technologies, soon-to-be deployed technologies, and industry innovation. Vendors are welcome to submit talks which cover relevant technologies and capabilities, but presentations should not be promotional, or discuss proprietary solutions. The primary speaker, moderator, or author should submit a presentation proposal and abstract via the Program Committee Tool at: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/submit-presentation/ - Sign in with your Profile Account - Select the type of talk you propose to present, and complete the form Timeline for submission and proposal review: - Submitter enter abstract (and draft slides if possible) in the Program Committee Tool prior to the deadline for slide submission. - PC performs initial review and assigns a “shepherd” to help develop the submission — typically within 2 weeks. - Submitter develops draft slides of talk if not already submitted with the initial proposal. Please submit initial draft slides early — the PC does not evaluate submissions until draft slides are available for review. NANOG Staff is available to assist with slide templates upon request from the submitter. - Panel and Track submissions should provide a topic list and intended/confirmed participants in the abstract. - PC reviews the slides and continues to work with Submitter as needed to develop the topic. - Draft presentation slides should be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (April 12, 2021). - PC evaluates submissions to determine presentations for the agenda (posted on May 10, 2021). - Agenda assembled and posted. - Submitters notified. - Final presentation slides must be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (May 10, 2021 for Pre-recordings). If you think you have an interesting topic but want feedback or suggestions for developing an idea into a presentation, please email the PC ( nanogpc(a)nanog.org) and a representative will respond to you in a timely manner. Otherwise, submit your talk, keynote, track, or panel proposal to the Program Committee Tool at your earliest convenience. We look forward to reviewing your submission!

IPv6 Multicast Routing&Registry
by Nicholas Warren 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Does IANA (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses/ipv6-multicast-ad…) run the registry for IPv6 Multicast groups? "We do not make allocations directly to ISPs or end users except in specific circumstances, such as allocations of multicast addresses" There are only 112 registered multicast addresses? That seems low. Are some IPv6 multicast packets globally routable? Wikipedia says both yes and no. Should we be allowing packets with multicast addresses in/out of our network?

London Interxion Data Centers
by Rod Beck 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hi Folks, My understanding is that there are three London Interxion data centers (I thought Equinix was the Borg and had assimilated pretty everything at this point). Trying to get the address where the facility where the London Metal Exchange houses its trading engine. No, financial institutions don't like to give this info to transport providers. The trading engine is the heart of electronic trading - it matches buy and sell offers. Regards, Roderick.

Expanding Internet access in Kenya: A conversation with Cynthia Muchiru
by NANOG News 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

“I would not be where I am today, were it not for the various mentors I’ve met along the way.” Cynthia Muchiru is one of those people whose energy and enthusiasm for their work is evident from the moment you meet them. As soon as we became acquainted with her at NANOG 80 Virtual, we knew we’d just encountered a rising star in the industry. A recent grad who studied Computer Networks at Strathmore University in Nairobi, Cynthia is passionate about digital literacy, mentoring girls in tech, and leveraging her role as a Network Operations Center Engineer at Mawingu Networks to help provide greater access to the Internet throughout Kenya. We spoke with Cynthia recently about her experience as a woman in tech, the mentors who helped her get to where she is today, and what community means to her — both personally and professionally.
