This presentation introduces new and enhanced features in PeeringDB that make it easier for the interconnection community to discover opportunities and collaborate. You’ll learn how to compare facilities and networks directly on the website to quickly find mutual peering locations, explore the KMZ export for geographic visualization, and understand new Carrier and Campus objects that enrich the database. We’ll also highlight PeeringDB’s open‑source model, ongoing improvements, and how you can stay engaged through blogs, social media, and by keeping your profiles updated — all aimed at empowering innovation and stronger connections.

Tony O’Sullivan will challenge the industry to rethink what it means to build serious infrastructure in an innovative, scalable, and sustainable way. In a world defined by geopolitical tension, climate shocks, and cable cuts, how can we meet customer expectations that don’t tolerate downtime? Tony will share his experiences by operating under fire, literally, and by scaling a lean, 44-country network that has stayed online when others have failed.

ASPA (AS Provider Authorization) is a new RPKI object type that AS holders can use to authorize their upstream providers in BGP. This allows providers to verify the paths they receive from customers and reject invalid AS paths. Furthermore, it helps to detect routing 'valleys' and reject such leaks.

This presentation focuses on the following:

• Introduction into the ASPA verification algorithm
• ASPA signing in the RIPE NCC RPKI Dashboard
• ASPA validation in practice
• Uptake and lessons learned so-far

NLNOG maintains multiple tools for network operators. From sharing shell access via the NLNOG RING to checking IRR and RPKI via the IRRexplorer. And that is not even all.

We will go over what the tools do, what they're useful for, and what challenges we run into maintaining them.

Experiences on virtualizing different type of GPUs on multiple different hardware and some ways to provide them to actually paying customers.
