§HotNets, HotNets, HotNets
- Don’t try and rewrite your whole paper a day before the deadline.
- Got it in, and need to think about travel and accomadation next.
- The program has been published, and I’m on the first day at 1:15pm - 2:45pm in ‘Session 3: The architecture of the Internet, and datacenter networks’.
§SIGCOMM SNS
Magnus and I threw some ideas around on Thurday morning. Apple’s ARKit might be something to look at in lieu of a Vision Pro. We also discussed getting some experience with iPhone’s lidar precision, how to bootstrap a connection, the issues with civic name encodings, and the necessity to get some estimation of load.
Regarding an implementation, once we have a bit more of an idea of what it might look like, github.com/RyanGibb/aeon would be a good starting point.
§OCaml Wake-on-Lan
Following up on hibernia, I created an OCaml implementation of the Magic Packet format for the Wake-on-Lan (WoL) standard.
§Malte Visit
Spoke to Malte about the Spatial Name System paper. He made some interesting points around the benefit of expressing a concise problem statement. I expressed a multi-problem on:
- Local-first connectivity
- Low latency resolution
- Resolving locations
- Interoperate with existing network protocols
Malte thought No. 1 was must compelling using Facebook’s DNS/BGP meltdown resulting in lack of access to physical infrastructure as a motivating case. He was fine with the idea of a global onthology of civic heirarchy of names.
It’s interesting to see different people’s objections to this. Keshav’s was the lack of a succinct problem statement. Ian Lewis’ was the difficulty in defining a global ontology of devices. And Malte’s was in the neccessity of low latency operation.
§SRG Seminars
I’m still the de-facto organiser of the SRG seminars as no one was found to replace me. I should send out an email to try and recruit a replacement.
§Teaching
- TA’d L50.
