NANOG 94 brought internet operations community together in Denver

NANOG 94 took place from 9 to 11 June at the Sheraton Denver Downtown. The event gathered engineers, network operators, vendors, researchers, and policy experts. Over three days, presenters shared best practices and lessons learned. The opening keynote covered AI’s impact on data‑centre and network designs. Early sessions focused on routing security, such as BGP path validation and RPKI. Attendees also participated in an IPv6 deployment clinic that featured labs on automated address planning and troubleshooting. The schedule included a track on AI for network automation and telemetry, with real‑world case studies from ISPs and cloud providers.

Day two sessions looked at zero‑trust architectures in telco networks and detailed talks on control‑plane anomalies and threat detection. The third day featured deep dives into network resilience and open‑source routing tools. A hands‑on “hackathon hour” let participants test live routing scenarios and build automation scripts. In addition, a segment on large‑scale monitoring shared insights on active and passive measurements of network health. Breaks and networking events provided space to exchange ideas and meet peers.

NANOG 94 set the tone for next‑gen network operations

The event reinforced the importance of AI‑driven network automation and secure routing solutions. It highlighted the need for standard deployment of IPv6 and stronger BGP path validation. Attendees gained practical knowledge for carrying forward resilient operational models.

LARUS took part in NANOG 94 as a sponsor and had a team engage in key sessions. They joined discussions on IPv6 deployment, BGP path security, and open‑source routing tools. LARUS staff also observed the AI‑driven network automation track. They shared the company’s best practices in IP resource management and governance. LARUS’s contribution as sponsor and participant underlined its role in supporting industry capacity building. Sponsorship by technical stakeholders promotes collaboration across operators and vendors. Through this event, the internet operations community continues to refine its response to evolving challenges in infrastructure.
