  • May 2009: Eric Osterweil gave a presentation on "Availability Problems in the DNSSEC Deployment" at the 58th RIPE conference in Amsteradm, NL. Current observations of PMTU failures seen through the SecSpider moniotring system were presented to operators to help underscore the growning problem in the DNSSEC deploment is facing. Slides can be found here.

  • November 2008: Dan Jen gave a presentation on "Evolutionary Steps Towards Scalable Routing" at the 73rd IETF conference in Minneapolis, MN. Slides can be found here.

  • October 2008: It is commonly recognized that the Internet AS-level topology inferred from publically available BGP data is incomplete, however there has been no quantitative estimate on exactly how incomplete the inferred topology might be. We addressed this question in a recent technical report, "Quantifying the Completeness of the Observed Internet AS-level Structure"
