The OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF) is at the core of the network management toolset available to professionals working with the BSD family of operating systems.
Understanding the networking toolset is essential to building and maintaining a functional envirionment. The present session will teach the principles and hands-on operation of the extensive network tools available on OpenBSD and sister...
The FreeBSD open source operating system provides a powerful set of features to facilitate the deployment, virtualization, and serving of Microsoft Windows environments ranging from small research labs to enterprise deployments. Its exemplary integration with the OpenZFS file system and volume manager, its bhyve hypervisor, and its overall unity play key roles in FreeBSD’s ability to perform...
BATMAN (Better Approach to Mobile Ad-hoc Networking) is a routing protocol for wireless multi-hop ad-hoc networks, which is used and developed by projects such as Freifunk to build open city-scale Wi-Fi mesh networks.
It is implemented as a kernel module in the Linux kernel as batman-adv, which I partially ported to FreeBSD as part of a GSoC project.
This talk will present BATMAN, how it...
Running a network with its own autonomous system, and speaking BGP can be a daunting task. There is also the misconception that it requires expensive hardware from big vendors. The BSDs are nowadays capable of providing enough routing capabilities to be cost-effective, and there are many tools to manage them and their routing configurations.
In this talk I will showcase why one would need...
Introduction to NSH and how NSH can be used to manage a typical firewall / router for a small business.
OpenBSD is a hugely capable networking operating system which has a broad range of networking features that can support Intra-networking and Internetworking for business. With diverse features like the multitude of VPN / IP tunnelling standards supported and the PF firewall, coupled with...
