The Network Automation BoF (Birds of a Feature) at NANOG 97 was a huge success!

Attendees introduced themselves and shared their experiences and challenges encountered in their automation journeys. The community effectively collaborated to address each other's problems and generated ideas for advancing their automation efforts.

Participants came from diverse backgrounds, including NOC managers, network managers, network monitoring professionals, network engineers, and software engineers.

A key discussion point was the importance of not attempting to solve all network automation problems at once. It is acceptable to tackle one issue at a time and iterate on solutions later

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, expressing desire for more sessions like this. I have submitted requests to the NANOG Programming Committee for additional events through the end of 2027.

My SRE talk from NANOG 97 is now available on YouTube! https://youtu.be/L6SRQ5RCMSo

Even though I've been on stage a few times in the last couple of years, this is my first NANOG talk. Feedback from the audience was positive, and while it was basic to a few folks, this information definitely needs repeating.

"[Deploying IPv6] is by far the best way to reduce the address compression ratio. 100% effective and reduces compression ratio to 1"

We are looking for technical or "meta" talks on #networking automation, and observability.

Some topics to consider:
- Network Automation
- Observability & Telemetry
- Network Security
- Cloud Networking
- Emerging Technologies in Networking
- Segment Routing / Traffic Engineering
- AI & Machine Learning in Networking
- Case Studies / Postmortems

Tomorrow I'll be giving a lightning talk entitled "You don't need the DNS root server system." This should be fun. #dns #nanog

Just recorded an episode of Heavy Networking with Ethan Banks , the founder of Packet Pushers, here at #NANOG96 . It was my third time on the packet pushers network but my first time having a 1:1 with Ethan.

We were discussing the task of defining a network service. It's harder than you think!

Thanks Ethan & the packet pushers team for having me on. Thanks for also allowing me to advocate for #TORNOG1 , happening this April!

I'll be at #NANOG96, in SF, next month. Follow here as i venture on my epic quest to eat In-N-out... and attend a conference / explore around, whatever, I guess.

@greg See you there? 🥺

🚨 Breaking news: The clock at #NIST Boulder stopped ticking, and the internet collectively lost a second of its life. 😱 But fear not, #NANOG warriors are bravely navigating the keyboard shortcuts to revive this temporal catastrophe.⌛️

Hmmm, #NANOG discusses #IPv4 pricing falling below $20. There is also a claim that North-American ISPs sell much of their IPv4 space. Why is that happening? Is it, because #IPv6 is now the preferred method?
