Big Data Works: 4A
- Mihály Héder (SZTAKI)
Description
"Big Data Works" presents perspectives on handling and analyzing large-scale network data. Gain insights from Brazil’s National R&E Network on leveraging monitoring data for aiding scientific research. Presenters from Restena and CIRCL from Luxembourg reveal how discarded “blackhole” traffic can uncover hidden security indicators and transform
defense strategies. Finally, CERN explains how HL-LHC’s upcoming tenfold data surge challenges Research and Education networks, introducing preparatory Data Challenges exercises.
HL-LHC, the upgrade of the LHC accelerator coming on-line in 2030, will generate a much larger amount of data then today, which will heavily impact the load of the R&E networks. This presentation will describe the computing model, how data will move in the R&E networks, the major challenges that the R&E community will face and how we are preparing to tackle them.
In security, a blackhole is a place in the infrastructure where incoming traffic is silently discarded without informing the source, therefore the traffic does not reach its destination. The blackhole traffic, or otherwise called unwanted traffic, can be considered as worthless traffic - trash. However, this is far from being the case. That traffic may include interesting attack indicators or...
RNP provides internet connectivity across Brazil and generates vast monitoring and performance data. To support research, RNP has developed tools to make this data accessible accessible. This presentation will address two central questions: (i) In what ways can monitoring data from NRENs drive scientific research? and (ii) What actions can we take to foster scientific research using this data?...
