Hey all,

I just got out of a meeting with CofC IT department concerning our wired/wifi needs at the conference. Everything is lined up but they would like to do some things to make sure the event doesn't have unforeseen problems.

They implement some IPS/IDS that could interfere with streaming/hosting/broadcasting from within the cofc network. They are asking for a list of specific programs and what traffic they generate so that they can look at their security and adjust it ahead of time.

VPN/VNC/SSH/HTTPS and other very popular ports and protocols are already allowed on the network, and should cover the majority of the needs.

However, my question is what systems are speakers/organizers going to be bringing in that:

1. Would like to have a wired connection

2. Run something that could trip their intrusion detection system

3. Host services that will be accessed from outside the cofc network

An example of something that will not be allowed is an FTP server. They won't go for that.
Something that I am looking to hear about is something like a locally hosted video player system for people to remote into from Europe.

Thanks!
