Network Technologies for Secure Data Movement

Overview

This Mini Workshop will first discuss the challenges faced by campus networks when supporting science and engineering applications, associated to research and education activities. Then, it will cover recent advances on network technologies that can solve or mitigate those challenges, and positively impact the performance of data transfers on campus networks. Topics include ScienceDMZs, solutions with and without Science DMZs, best practices on TCP congestion control, how to monitor networks with perfSONAR, fine-grained telemetry with programmable data plane switches, and others. Attendees will be provided access to hands-on training materials running on a virtual platform.

Audience

The workshop is targeted to IT professionals such as system administrators, network engineers, and practitioners in general. The content is also suitable for IT leadership who may want to further understand best practices supporting research and education activities on campus. Additionally, systematic hands-on lab libraries will be made available to educators interested in incorporating the materials on their programs.
