Introduction
The workshop gathered several NRENs to discuss common challenges and opportunities in monitoring, network operations, NAC, and IoT. There was strong interest in shared solutions and practical collaboration, especially around Argus, NAV, NOC practices, and iotroam.
Maurice van den Akker of SURF had some slides as introduction and to show the situation at SURF.
Key outcomes
Monitoring (Argus / NAV)
- Strong interest in Argus for log aggregation.
- Requests for demos and better setup documentation.
- Need for better support for “glue services”, especially event correlation across systems (e.g. Mist, NAV, Aruba UXI).
- Surf noted that SNMP for stats polling does not scale for some use cases and recommended streaming telemetry. A number of open source telemetry collectors already exist, so it would likely make more sense to integrate an existing one with NAV, than to implement another collector from scratch.

NOC
- Large differences in NOC models across NRENs.
- Key success factors:
- Good documentation
- Standardization
- Automation
- Effective monitoring
- Low alarm noise
- Linking procedures directly from alarms
- Surf’s Network Dashboard (multi-source KPI view) raised strong interest.
NAC: presentation of Jeroen van Ingen Schenau (Univ. Twente) NAC
- Clear need for NAC across several NRENs.
- Large variation in the use of NAC at different NRENs.
- Challenges:
- High cost of ClearPass and ISE
- Weak usability of FreeRADIUS
- Important with a way for users to register their devices themselves.
- Interest in cooperation on RADIUS as a Service (RaaS) and best practices
IoT / iotroam iotroam (see presentation of Sven de Ridder)
- Very strong interest.
- CSC is in process with Surf for a pilot
- Sikt has been contacted by several Norwegian customers to know more about iotroam.
- Seen as a potential national service.
- Business model not yet clear
- As a part of the cost for the CNaaS service?
- As a part of the cost for eduroam?
- As a standalone subscription?
- Interest in pilots and VM-based deployment.
- OpenSAML / federated login support coming soon.
- Costs mainly for extended functionality.
