with Kristoffer Larsen
In a constantly changing network, efficient utilization of scarce IPv4 address space is critical. Learn how we closed the automation loop by leveraging NETCONF notification streaming to dynamically provision IP pools exactly when and where they are needed.
Kristoffer Larsen Kristoffer Larsen is a B2C Network Engineer at TeliaCompany with 30 years of experience in service provider networking.
Having started his career in the dial-up era, he has worked with technologies spanning multiple generations of carrier networks, from early MPLS deployments when the technology was still known as Tag Switching to modern Segment Routing based architectures.
Throughout his career, he has been involved in the design, in the development, and in the operation of service provider infrastructure across the Scandinavian market.
His automation journey began with PHP and Perl long before network automation became mainstream, focusing on building operational tools around a Single Source of Truth.
Over time, this evolved into large-scale automation platforms and network orchestration systems.
Today, his network automation work is centered around Cisco NSO where the programming language Erlang has become a key tool for building highly concurrent and efficient automation solutions. Beyond automation, he has extensive experience in broadband architecture and in mass-market service design, including BNG-based access networks that serve large customer populations.
He is always up for sharing practical lessons learned from combining decades of operational networking experience with modern automation practices.
