Networking technologies have evolved significantly over time and those who manage them are needing to use increasingly more advanced software to do so, requiring a blend of network and software skills. This session will showcase several software options that will be of interest to network operators. Erik will explain how GÉANT has improved its own architecture used to gather various network metrics to help manage their backbone. Yannick will then discuss six open-source network flow collectors which he and his team evaluated. Finally, Scott's talk will show how use of network management plane software has changed recently and how security approaches have had to adapt to keep pace with such change.
