== Talks ==

Talk 1: Traffic engineering at NTT
Alistair Mackenzie

Get a rare look at what traffic engineering looks like inside a tier 1
network. We’ll cover how things used to operate, the innovative
practices we implement today, and what the future potentially holds.

--

Talk 2: Whitebox or not to Whitebox... that is the Question
Simon Beevers

An open question to the NetLdn group with a candid conversation around
Whitebox vs. traditional vendors. Are Whiteboxes worth the time and
investment post 2020? Have traditional vendors had their time,
particularly now that they’ve moved to a SaaS model for their support
and licensing ... etc.
