Evan Burge Building, Trinity College, Melbourne University Main Campus, Parkville. Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map * Andrew Robinson, R: A Statistical Package on Linux * Julien Goodwin, Networking things all Systems Administrators should know Andrew Robinson is a senior lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne, and on the Management Executive Committee of the Australian Centre of Excellence for Risk Analysis. He is the co-author of the books, Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation Using R, and Forest Analytics with R: An Introduction. Julien Goodwin is a Network Engineer at Google Sydney, working day-to-day maintaining one of the worlds largest IP networks. In the past he has worked as a (primarily Linux) Sys Admin on educational networks, and in small businesses. He has a long history working with the Australian FOSS community and was former LUV committee member and a member of the LCA2008 team. His talk covers the basics and "gotchas" of seven small aspects of networking, from weird things that can happen with traceroute, how broadband access networks work, how large scale Internet services use tools like anycast and DNS to share load, why NAT is not a security measure, and why IPv6 is so simple to deploy you're probably already running it.
