[AusNOG] Research priorities?

[Richard Pruss]

Hi,

Programatic Network configuration or database centric network  
configuration as done by Google seemed pretty fresh and interesting.

Here is a link to the Nanog presentation and video, which may spark  
some ideas for you:
http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog44/abstracts.php?pt=ODc5Jm5hbm9nNDQ=&nm=nanog44

Vijay Gill has been keen to discuss and advocate this approach at a  
number of venues to SP's.
It would take extraordinary operational discipline to implement this  
like Google has in most SP's, but in many ways SP's
do small parts of this.

Regards,
Ric
