Network infrastructure (L0-L3) equipment has evolved from simple, fixed function devices to those that support dynamic services across multiple layers of the network with full programmability. Next generation network capabilities are going to be enabled by analytics and software that takes advantage of programmable nature of the underlying network. In this session, we will discuss how we can use the network itself as a sensor and apply analytics to improve both the security posture and availability of the network. Specifically we will look at ways of monitoring L3 routing protocols, and using this information to detect route hijacking and other security issues on the network.
