NetFlow & BGP multi-path: quo vadis?

We will explain how to correlate NetFlow in a BGP multi-path setup, by applying BGP ADD-PATH data to reveal where traffic goes to. Since NetFlow doesn't carry BGP information in itself, a subsequent path match in our favorite open source NetFlow accounting software pmacct determines statistics based on BGP data. Netflix uses a modified BGP behavior, where traffic is spread over the top few paths for a destination. A single best path BGP match would hence not necessarily reveal the path taken by the traffic. By using ADD-PATH we enable the pmacct software to match on the second or third best path, making sure it is the one taken by the Netflix control plane. We will present details on how Netflix' multi-path setup spreads the traffic over multiple providers, how the open source software pmacct works, how ADD-PATH has been implemented in pmacct and how it determines the right BGP data to match our flows.

Toward an Atlas of the Physical Internet

The availability of accurate and timely maps of the Internet would be a compelling starting point for diverse topics such as assessing infrastructure vulnerabilities, understanding routing behavior, and analyzing application performance. However, despite the many and varied efforts over the years, there remains no central repository of accurate Internet maps. In this talk, I will describe the challenges in assembling maps of Internet topology based on standard data sources. I will also describes Internet Atlas, a new repository and visualization portal of the physical interconnection structure of the Internet that is under construction at the University of Wisconsin. The repository is populated using web-based information extraction to identify primary source data such as maps and other repositories of service provider network information. The repository currently contains over 9K PoP locations and nearly 14K links for over 390 networks (including all tier 1 providers) around the world. The openly available web portal is based on the widely-used ArcGIS geographic information system, which enables visualization and diverse spatial analyses of the data. To demonstrate the utility of the repository, I will describe an analysis of natural disaster threats to Internet infrastructure and how these risks can be reduced through the use of an optimization framework that identifies locations for provisioning additional infrastructure.

Ethernet VPN (EVPN) - Overlay Networks for Ethernet Services

In this presentation we'll take a look at Ethernet VPN (EVPN), an overlay network technology for providing Ethernet services. EVPN offers an alternative to VPLS that integrates both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, and can run over simple IP networks with ECMP for resiliency and load balancing. EVPN is an interesting new technology for network operators providing a Layer 2 infrastructure over multiple sites or delivering integrated Layer 2/Layer 3 services, and data center operators providing cloud services.

Keynote - Discussion with Len Bosack

In this town hall formatted session, several topics will be presented, after which the floor will be open for an extended Q&A session with Len. The topics being discussed include: Optical transmission and the transition from 1Gbps signaling up thru 1Tbps. This will include a brief overview of advanced modulation techniques as well as describing what new client interface requirements will be needed for higher data rate transmission systems. This topic will be followed by a hearty discussion on internet principles. Protocol design, what have we done to ourselves with the Heartbleed bug. Following this, Len will discuss router designs, why are they so complicated and expensive. The last topic Len will present will be system reliability. What does it take to build something that will last. During the Q&A session, feel free to ask Len about other topics not covered during his talk. Len will be available immediately after this session at the XKL sponsored break as well.

  • Len Bosack, XKL LLC

    • As CEO of XKL, LLC, a leading provider of optical networking equipment, Leonard Bosack continues to drive technology innovation in his quest to bring fundamental change to worldwide telecommunications. Mr. Bosack co-founded Cisco Systems in 1986 and is largely responsible for pioneering the widespread commercialization of local area network (LAN) technology to connect geographically disparate computers over a multiprotocol router system. While commonplace today, this technology was unheard of at the time Mr. Bosack perfected his first viable router in the mid-1980s. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Bosack held significant technical leadership roles at AT&T Bell Labs (now part of Alcatel-Lucent) and Digital Equipment Corporation. He earned a masters degree in computer science from Stanford University, where he went on to become director of computer facilities for the university’s computer science department. While at Stanford, Mr. Bosack was a key contributor to the emerging network technology driven by the U.S. Department of Defense known as the ARPAnet that was the genesis of today's Internet. Using his growing expertise in networking, he and a team of fellow staff members successfully linked the university’s 5,000 computers across a 16-square-mile campus area, overcoming incompatibility challenges to create the first true LAN system. On the heels of this success, Mr. Bosack and his partner, Sandra Lerner, co-founded Cisco Systems in the late 1980s. In its first month alone, Cisco landed contracts worth more than $200,000 and the pair worked tirelessly for the next year to grow the demand for its products. Through their collective technical genius, the company continued to dominate the marketplace with revolutionary technology such as the first multiport router-specific line cards and sophisticated routing protocols. This technical foundation still persists at Cisco and throughout the Internet today.

Tutorial: Tutorial NETCONF and YANG

Network providers are challenged by new requirements for fast and error-free service turn-up. Existing approaches to configuration management, such as CLI scripting, device-specific adapters, and entrenched commercial tools, are an impediment to meeting these new requirements. Until recently, there has been no standard way of configuring network devices other than SNMP, which is not optimal for configuration management. The IETF has released NETCONF (RFC 6241) and YANG (RFC 6020), which are standards focusing on configuration management. The presentation will give a technical overview of these standards, and will show how NETCONF and YANG address issues around automation and programmability. The tutorial will also contain live demos.

DNS Record Injection Vulnerabilities in Customer-premises equipment

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical component of the Internet infrastructure as it maps human-readable names to IP addresses. Injecting fraudulent mappings allows an attacker to divert users accesses from intended destinations to those of an attacker’s choosing. In this work, we find that many home routers are vulnerable to trivial record injection attacks. The growing number of home routers acting as open resolvers presents a new attack surface and we suggest that action is needed

SAm-1 Cable: Lessons from 14 years of Operations & Submarine Cables - The Hidden Asset

SAm-1 Cable: Lessons from 14 years of Operations When the Sam-1 submarine cable was built in 2000, the maximum capacity it would allow with the available technology at the time was 1.96 Tbps. Halfway through its life, Sam-1 has a current maximum capacity ten times larger as it was when initially launched. In this presentation we will go through the different lessons and challenges that Telefonica has faced in the last fourteen years with Sam-1, and those anticipated in the future. When Sam-1 was planned the engineers within Telefonica and even the vendors thought that its full potential capacity would never be filled. It was a huge project, conceived as an investment to serve Telefonica group’s international needs. The bandwidth that was sold to the customers at that time was around 2 Mbps. It was still the X.25 era in Latin America. Sam-1 was planned to link the Americas together, from the US, to Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina, across the Andes (and this was another adventure itself), Chile, Peru, across Guatemala, and back to the US. At that time there were plenty of funds to allow such an investment. In 2007 the network expansions to Colombia, northern Peru and Ecuador were installed. The presentation will highlight some of the design engineering criteria that have been keys to success, for example, building highly resilient wet and dry plants. We will cover Telefonica’s daily, weekly, monthly and yearly maintenance processes to avoid service outages. We will also share the painful lessons of corrective maintenance. The talk will also cover the management of processes and vendors to reduce operational costs without negatively impacting quality. We will talk about past and future network upgrades, including our thoughts and findings of our recent tests using Gridless WDM y 200Gb Waves (with 16QAM modulation), as well as new segments (US-Brazil), reusing capacity in the Pacific-side segments and will also explain how Unisur and PCCS cables complement the SAm-1 system. Submarine Cables - The Hidden Asset Submarine Cables have been with us for over 150 years, through three distinct eras, and for the majority of that time they have been the "hidden asset" within the network, there has never been a song and dance about the existence of submarine cables. This paper starts by looking at the history of submarine cables in the North Atlantic then looks at some of the technology in use on cables today. One of the most confusing areas of Submarine Cables is how they are installed and maintained and this paper shall take a detailed look at the methodology, timing and issues surrounding these two areas.

Adventures in networked HVAC

SNMP-based power and climate monitoring has been around for over a decade, but it has not been fun to implement, to sa y the least. The arrival of consumer-oriented, user-friendly, networked devices lowers the bar for bulding sensor netw orks, in terms of expertise needed, time to implement and cost. Frustrated by the standard products for industrial users, Ralf Muehlen built a whole-data center smart meter from low-end parts. This grew into a multi-site networked system that ties together climate control, power, alarm systems and access control. In this session, Muehlen will show how to get started with inexpensive off-the-shelf products, how to apply them to new applications, and how to safely take the big step from monitoring to affecting physical changes in the real world.

464XLAT: Breaking Free of IPv4

Many edge networks have experienced growth that exceeds the available supply of IPv4. One approach to decoupling scarce IPv4 from an ever expanding edge network is 464XLAT / RFC 6877. This talk will review how 464XLAT works and how T-Mobile has launched 464XLAT to millions of smartphone subscribers.

Open router OS architecture– A fast path to Operator developed router features

The ability for network operators to code new control-plane capabilities and execute these capabilities directly on commercial router platforms is one of the exciting unexplored possibilities within the SDN domain. Along these lines, Comcast is interested in IPv6 Segment Routing— a new technology introduced to the IETF in 2013. Given the newness of Segment Routing, there is no support for SR on current router platforms. In order to explore the possibilities of Segment Routing (SR), Comcast developed proof-of-concept SR code from scratch using the Go language. We then compiled this code, creating a binary, which we then execute directly on an open router platform from one of our commercial vendors-- thus adding SR capability to the vendor's platform— without any development required or performed by the router vendor. This talk details the ongoing evolution in the SDN/router platform space, and how we leveraged the open eco system of a current generation router platform to prototype SR functionality. We then suggest how this open router eco system coupled with the approach leveraged might be an alternative approach to "SDN".

Programmatic Interface to Routing

The fundamental aspect in dealing with routing system is not to touch it if it works. New functionality is added in via extending existing or defining new control plane protocols and containing all the internal state closed. Applications that could benefit from having a look at the innards of the routing system state are left with no choice but vendor and platform dependent interfaces that impose their own level of restrictions and visibility. New work has started in IETF on defining programmatic bidirectional interface into the routing system for exporting and modifying the state associated with routing functions of an individual network element. This mechanism allows for applications to get more awareness of underlying network topology and operational state, and also directly manipulate the operation of what was previously known as control plane. Many architectures and protocol mechanisms can be defined but for them to be practical, they need to be backed by realistic use cases. The two goals of this talk are to give a marketing-free introduction of Interface to Routing System (I2RS) architectural aspects, and to discuss practical use cases and gather feedback from operational community whether this approach would be applicable in solving practical problems.

Embracing Failure: Fault Injection and Service Resilience at Netflix

Complex distributed systems fail. They fail more and in different ways as they scale and evolve over time. To provide high service availability in the face of this reality we must embrace failure by designing and testing for it. More importantly we must induce controlled failures on systems to discover vulnerabilities and resolve them. To this end Netflix has created a suite of tools, collectively called the Simian Army, to improve resiliency of our cloud environment. This presentation will cover the motivations for inducing failure in production, the mechanics of how Netflix achieves it, and lessons learned along the way. Josh Evans is a 15-year Netflix veteran with a background in ecommerce, video streaming services, distributed systems, tools, and operations. Josh is currently Director of Operations Engineering at Netflix and is responsible for enabling continuous improvement of service quality and acceleration of engineering velocity. Josh’s team creates and evolves Netflix Open Source tools like Asgard and the Simian Army, which includes the Chaos Monkey.

An Overview of Energy Efficient Ethernet

This brief overview of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) will explain the role EEE plays in making a networked system energy proportional. In 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a study to understand data center energy use trends and recommended a systems-wide approach to achieving energy efficiency. In the same year, the IEEE began work on Energy Efficient Ethernet, which upon completion in 2010, produced another tool in the energy efficiency solution set. The specification includes twisted pair and backplane Ethernet interfaces up to and including 10 gigabits per second, using a method called Low Power Idle (LPI) to reduce energy use when there is no data to send. This presentation examines the motivation for energy proportional networking, provides a high-level view of EEE functionality and concludes with a discussion of opportunities to develop the technology to optimize network energy use.

Research and Education Networking Track

This track is a continuation of the R&E network operators forums that have been at the past few NANOGs. We will continue to solicit R&E network "personals" and updates, discuss security topics, examine big-data requirements and our efforts to deal with them, and we will also entertain some actual network research, if we have submitted content. Current agenda is: o R&E Network updates and personals o mDNS standards updates and ways of dealing with ad-hoc protocols on campus networks o "What's wrong with computer security in the R&E community?" ...more to come - stay tuned!
