Understanding BCOP: Best Current Operational Practices for Network Management

BCOP (Best Current Operational Practices) is a collaborative framework aimed at addressing operational challenges faced by network operators. Developed through community consensus, BCOPs provide vetted solutions and practices to enhance operational efficiency and resilience within the global network infrastructure. This open repository features living documents that undergo continuous revision and local as well as global problem statements, ensuring practitioners can find relevant solutions through a structured and transparent process. Join the effort to improve operational standards by contributing ideas and engaging with BCOP initiatives.

Presentation Transcript

  1. BCOP Update Aaron Hughes

  2. What is BCOP • Best Current Operational Practices • Open repository of living BCOPs • Bottoms up development process • Operator consensus driven (80/20) • Transparent • Revision controlled • Vetted via BCOP-DP (community written) and subject matter experts • Local and Global

  3. Problem Statement • I have an operational problem and would like to know the best current operational practice to solve it. • There are hundreds of operational forums globally • All stored in different formats, some searchable, rarely have speech text or video, no vetting, and state unknown.

  4. BCOP Timeline • 2010 • Lightning Talks in operator and RIR communities resulting in validating need • E-mail list –discuss launched • 2011 • Website launch • Deployment process evolution and launch as an unattached group • Draft BCOPs written

  5. BCOP Timeline cont. • 2012 • Renamed BCP to BCOP (IETF confusion) • BCOP-DP completed • BCOPs ratified • Request assistance from ISOC, ARIN, NANOG, RIPE, volunteers • 2013 • Single unattached group move to Multi-Regional & Global BCOP org.

  6. BCOP Structure 2012

  7. Restructure • Regional Operator driven • Some BCOPs stay local • Others become Global BCOPs when appropriate (Process in progress)

  8. Restructure cont.

  9. Restructure cont. • Move existing BCOP-PD, BCOPs, List, website, track to single local OG to use as template for other OG/OF • Identify neutral organization to host global BCOPs • Validate interest from parties and execute

  10. Regional • NANOG Board agreed with need and support • Moved list • Moving website • Track converted to regional • BCOP-PD changes in progress to use as template in other OG/OF

  11. Global • ISOC Deploy360 Programme identified as match for hosting global process, support, hosting, etc. • Strategic alignment / real-world deployment information for key Internet technologies such as IPv6, DNSSEC, Routing Resiliency/Security

  12. Snapshot today • Regional in place @NANOG • Focus shifted to content (BCOPs) • ISOC testing water / validating interest Globally / working with regional BCOPs to create global process and repository

  13. What’s done today? • BCOP-DP • BCOP_IPv6_Subnetting • BCOP_Public_Peering_Exchange • BCOP_IPv6_Peering_and_Transit • Input needed for v2

  14. What’s next • Prior to NANOG58 (June) • Website move • Updated doc management system in place • Revision controlled rich docs (challenge) • Several BCOP Drafts to list for discussion • Send us your ideas! (bcop@nanog.org)

  15. How to get involved • ARIN/NANOG Region • http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/bcop • Global involvement • Deploy360@isoc.org • General questions • Aaron Hughes aaron@6connect.com • Chris Grundemanncgrundemann@gmail.com
