  • Active-Active Firewall Cluster Support in Openbsd
    Active-Active Firewall Cluster Support in OpenBSD David Gwynne School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, University of Queensland Submitted for the degree of Bachelor of Information Technology COMP4000 Special Topics Industry Project February 2009 to leese, who puts up with this stuff ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Peter Sutton for allowing me the opportunity to do this work as part of my studies at the University of Queensland. A huge thanks must go to Ryan McBride for answering all my questions about pf and pfsync in general, and for the many hours working with me on this problem and helping me test and debug the code. Thanks also go to Theo de Raadt, Claudio Jeker, Henning Brauer, and everyone else at the OpenBSD network hackathons who helped me through this. iii Abstract The OpenBSD UNIX-like operating system has developed several technologies that make it useful in the role of an IP router and packet filtering firewall. These technologies include support for several standard routing protocols such as BGP and OSPF, a high performance stateful IP packet filter called pf, shared IP address and fail-over support with CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol), and a protocol called pfsync for synchronisation of the firewalls state with firewalls over a network link. These technologies together allow the deployment of two or more computers to provide redundant and highly available routers on a network. However, when performing stateful filtering of the TCP protocol with pf, the routers must be configured in an active-passive configuration due to the current semantics of pfsync.

  • Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix : from AT&T-Owned to Freely
    Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix : From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable Marshall Kirk McKusick Early History Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie presented the first Unix paper at the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles at Purdue University in November 1973. Professor Bob Fabry, of the University of California at Berkeley, was in attendance and immediately became interested in obtaining a copy of the system to experiment with at Berkeley. At the time, Berkeley had only large mainframe computer systems doing batch processing, so the first order of business was to get a PDP-11/45 suitable for running with the then-current Version 4 of Unix. The Computer Science Department at Berkeley, together with the Mathematics Department and the Statistics Department, were able to jointly purchase a PDP-11/45. In January 1974, a Version 4 tape was delivered and Unix was installed by graduate student Keith Standiford. Although Ken Thompson at Purdue was not involved in the installation at Berkeley as he had been for most systems up to that time, his expertise was soon needed to determine the cause of several strange system crashes. Because Berkeley had only a 300-baud acoustic-coupled modem without auto answer capability, Thompson would call Standiford in the machine room and have him insert the phone into the modem; in this way Thompson was able to remotely debug crash dumps from New Jersey. Many of the crashes were caused by the disk controller's inability to reliably do overlapped seeks, contrary to the documentation. Berkeley's 11/45 was among the first systems that Thompson had encountered that had two disks on the same controller! Thompson's remote debugging was the first example of the cooperation that sprang up between Berkeley and Bell Labs.

  • The Qosbox: Quantitative Service Differentiation in BSD Routers∗
    The QoSbox: Quantitative Service Differentiation in BSD Routers∗ Nicolas Christin Jorg¨ Liebeherr Information Networking Institute and The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of CyLab Japan Electrical and Computer Engineering Carnegie Mellon University University of Toronto 1-3-3-17 Higashikawasaki-cho 10 King’s College Road Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0044, Japan Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We describe the design and implementation of the QoSbox, a configurable IP router that provides per-hop service differentiation on loss, delays and throughput to classes of traffic. The novel aspects of the QoSbox are that (1) the QoSbox does not rely on any external component (e.g., no traffic shaping and no admission control) to provide the desired service differentiation, but instead, (2) dynamically adapts packet forwarding and dropping decisions as a function of the instantaneous traffic arrivals and allows for temporary relaxation of some service objectives; also, (3) the QoSbox can enforce both absolute and proportional service differentiation on queuing delays, loss rates, and throughput at the same time. We focus on a publicly available implementation of the QoSbox in BSD-based PC-routers. We evaluate our implementation in a testbed of BSD routers over a FastEthernet network, and we sketch how the QoSbox can be implemented in high speed architectures. Keywords: Quality-of-Service Implementations, Service Differentiation, PC-Routers, BSD, High-Speed Networks. ∗Most of this work was done while both authors were with the University of Virginia.
