<section><h2 style="color:red">! WARNING !</h2>
<p>I am not a network engineer, there are gaps in my knowledge</p>
<p>The words I use might not be the correct ones</p>
<p>Please don't blame me if your network stops networking</p>
<p class="fragment">Maybe don't go and try building an ISP based off this talk :)</p>
</section>
<section><h2>What even is a network?</h2>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">Ethernet?</p>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">Token Ring?</p>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">IPX?</p>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">AX.25?</p>
</section>
<section><h2>What even is a network?</h2>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">ipv4?</p>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">ipv6?</p>
<p class="fragment fade-in-then-out">tcp?</p>
<p class="fragment">Allows connections between computers</p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>We are going to mostly focus on Ethernet and IPv6</p>
</section>
<section><h2>Managed networks</h2>
<p class="fragment"><b>Controls</b> connections between computers</p>
<p class="fragment"><b>Scales</b> connections between computers</p>
<p class="fragment"><img src="3tier.png" /><p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>Most of us probably work in a managed network</p>
<p>Most of us probably have a pretty flat edge network at home</p>
<p>Diagram is nice, but hides complexities at each layer.<p>
</aside>
</section>
<section><h2>Layers!</h2>
<p class="fragment">Like an onion!</p>
<p class="fragment">That 7 layer thing from the OSI</p>
<p class="fragment">Ethernet -> IP -> ICMP/TCP/UDP</p>
<p class="fragment">Administrative overlays</p>
<p class="fragment">VPNs and Tunnels</p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>or a parfait</p>
<p>which you can mostly ignore, as what we generally use doesn't conform to it. But it does provide a good framework for assisting understanding</p>
<p>Like firewalls, web-proxies/SSL MITM, But also access rights etc</p>
</aside>
</section>
<section><h2>Layers</h2>
<p>This means the Physical layers do not have to match the Logical connections</p>
<p class="fragment">Networks are also a bit fractal in nature</p>
<p class="fragment">For the purposes of this talk, we can ignore a lot of complexity</p>
</section>
<section><h2>An easy one!</h2>
<p>VLANS</p>
<p class="fragment">Ethernet layer</p>
<p class="fragment">Designed to limit broadcast storms</p>
<p class="fragment">Can also separate IP networks on the same Ethernet</p>
<p class="fragment">Tagged and Untagged/Default</p>
<p class="fragment">IEEE 802.1Q</p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>beware of strange implementations, windows seems to take Router Advertisements from all vlans, regardless of tag</p>
</aside>
</section>
<section><h2>VLANs in linux</h2>
<p>Are pretty easy!</p>
<pre class="fragment"><code data-trim data-noescape>
ip link add link enp0s2 name enp0s2.2501 vlan id 2501
ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:2501::10/64 dev enp0s2.2501
ip link set dev enp0s2.2501 up
</code>
</pre>
</section>
<section><h2>VLANs in linux</h2>
<p>Various different methods of making it go in different distributions</p>
<p class="fragment">Debian: in /etc/network/interfaces</p>
<pre class="fragment">
<code>auto enp1s0.2502
iface enp1s0.2502 inet dhcp
iface enp1s0.2502 inet6 auto</code>
</pre>
<p class="fragment">OpenWRT has a nice GUI</p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>OpenWRT: can also use the hardware present on most hardware routers to assign vlans to specific ports</p>
</section>
<section><h2>VLANs in linux</h2>
<p>Here's what I've done</p>
<img src="Diagrams/MyVLans.png"></img>
<aside class="notes">
<p>Guest Wifi</p>
<p>Access VLAN</p>
<p>Netflix, Youtube, my webhost, desktops/work computers</p>
</aside>
</section>
<section><h2>What even is a router?</h2>
<p class="fragment">Two or more interfaces</p>
<p class="fragment">Some logic to determine where a packet goes</p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>Not necessarily physical</p>
<p>Sounds simple right?</p>
</aside>
</section>
<section><h2>Linux Routing</h2>
<p>Add to sysctl config:</p>
<pre class="fragment"><code data-trim data-noescape>
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 1
</code>
</pre>
<p class="fragment">And we're done!</p>
<p class="fragment">Yeah, not really :)</p>
</section>
<section><h2>Static Routes</h2>
<p>Manually added, or scripted routes that don't change</p>
<pre><code data-trim data-noescape>
ip route add 172.17.0.0/24 via 172.16.0.254 dev wg0
</code>
</pre>
</section>
<section><h2>Static Routes</h2>

<p>BIRD: Berkeley Internet Routing Daemon</p>
<p>Quagga: Fork of Zebra</p>
<p>OpenBGPd/OpenOSPFd: from the OpenBSD project</p>
<p class="fragment">Significant overlap, but they are different</p>
<p class="fragment">I've not used Quagga, or the OpenBSD ones</p>
<p class="fragment">There are probably others!</p>

<p>An IP for a host that provides that service</p>
<p class="fragment">Can use that same IP in two different places in the network</p>

<section><h2>Why use a 'real' router</h2>
<p>Linux based router:</p>
<p class="fragment">NIC Hardware</p>
<p class="fragment">-> whole packet to Driver memory</p>
<p class="fragment">-> various kernel subsystems</p>
<p class="fragment">Routing decision made</p>
<p class="fragment">Then back out the same path</p>
</section>
<section><h2>Why use a 'real' router</h2>
<p>Enterprise level router</p>
<p class="fragment">NIC Hardware</p>
<p class="fragment">Just Enough Packet to get the address</p>
<p class="fragment">-> routing silicon</p>
<p class="fragment">Routing decision made</p>
<p class="fragment">Silicon switched to forward packet out correct NIC Hardware</p>
</section>
<section><h2>Why use a 'real' router</h2>
<p>Performance</p>
<p class="fragment">Some work being done on 'zero copy' networking in linux</p>
<p class="fragment">io_uring also has some smarts for this</p>
</section>
<section><h2>Why use a 'real' router</h2>
<p>Other Considerations</p>
<p class="fragment">Network Engineers are</p>
<p class="fragment">Not familiar with linux networking</p>
<p class="fragment">will have significant skills using commercial routing software</p>
<p class="fragment">Hardware ruggedness, suitability for datacentre</p>
<p class="fragment">power consumption</p>
</section>
<section><h2>¿Por qué no los dos?</h2>
<p>OpenWRT is a linux based distribution for real networking hardware</p>
<aside class="note">
<p>Consumer grade mostly, but some enterprise level routers are supported</p>
</section>
<section><h2>BGP</h2>
<p>Sorry, didn't get to explore this as much as I'd like</p>
<p>Not too confident talking about it as yet</p>
<p>Is how the internet is put together</p>
</section>
<section><h2>Bonus homework</h2>
<p>Why did I use 2001::db8::/32?</p>
<p>Why did I use /64s?</p>
<p>I highly recommend going through KNorrie's network examples: <a href="https://github.com/knorrie/network-examples">https://github.com/knorrie/network-examples</a></p>
<p>OSPF Areas</p>
<p>Auth* for OSPF</p>
<p>Automatic transfers of internal aggregate networks to BGP (Something I've not investigated much)</p>
