Blogs Tools Software Python and ISIS - the sequel Thu, 2015-02-12 17:19 — kll Just like my last post about Python and ISIS, this one is just to inform of another ISIS implementation in Python. This time around it's pyisis an ISIS implementetion written by Chris Hopps, who also happens to be a colleague of mine. is-is ISIS Python kll's blog 16 comments NETDISCO - Network discovery for peering Thu, 2015-01-15 23:17 — kll Let's say you have a network. In fact, you are the head IP ninja of AS23456 and you want to peer away some traffic for all the usual reasons... Your flow collection system has determined, to no ones astonishment, that 50% of your traffic is from Google, Akamai and NetFlix and you are now seeking to interconnect with these networks. Now, how do you go about peering with these networks? kll's blog 28 comments Read more NFV-style DDoS mitigation using Snabb Switch Sat, 2014-12-13 19:57 — kll My employer arranged for a hack day last month. It meant anyone participating was free to hack on anything they wanted and at the end of the day we got to present our work during a 2 minute flash presentation to our colleagues as well as a number of students from KTH's (Royal institute of technology) computer science program.

It can be a threshold value for total traffic or for a certain traffic class, like UDP packets, and the actual threshold value can either be configured statically or it can be more dynamic and based on previously collected data, ie baselining and from that finding anomalous traffic patterns.

For those of you that want to speak the routing protocol IS-IS with open source tools written in Python, it can be rather tricky finding things through Google as I have found out the hard way. Thankfully though, I stumled upon PyRT a few years ago. It's short for Python Routeing Toolkit and aims to provide a small suite of tools and libraries helping in diagnosing routeing information from IS-IS, OSPF and BGP.

Somewhat surprised by this I decided to dig a little further into the topic.

The tools provided seem a lot more coarse...

Didn't take long before it was properly seated in a small MX80 I have in close vicinity. Soon later, disappointed and dismayed to see a peak pegged to 1550nm on my spectrum analyzer...
