NSDI ‘07
NSDI ‘07 is over and I have pretty graphs to share. The most interesting thing about this conference network is that our uplink was a pair of channel bonded T1s that we went through considerable effort to arrange. The connection was completed and functional the Friday before the conference started, and worked fine on Monday, but sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning one of the T1s failed. I figured that out mid-afternoon on Tuesday as my ssh sessions became usless. It turns out the hotel’s ISP had a bad card on their end. They remedied the problem Thursday morning. Most of Wednesday was pretty painful as a result.
I’ve also included our AP association graphs. NSDI had a lot of network use by non-attendees. I think we’re going to have to finally start using an authentication system.
