  • Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department
    Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department Technical Report NWU-EECS-07-12 October 2, 2007 What Lies Beneath: Understanding Internet Congestion Leiwen Deng, Aleksandar Kuzmanovic, and Bruce Davie Abstract Developing measurement tools that can concurrently monitor congested Internet links at a large scale would significantly help us understand how the Internet operates. While congestion at the Internet edge typically arises due to bottlenecks existent at a connection’s last mile, congestion in the core could be more complex. This is because it may depend upon internal network policies and hence can reveal systematic problems such as routing pathologies, poorly-engineered network policies, or non-cooperative inter-AS relationships. Therefore, enabling the tools to provide deeper insights about congestion in the core is certainly beneficial. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a large-scale triggered monitoring system that focuses on monitoring a subset of Internet core links that exhibit relatively strong and persistent congestion, i.e., hot spots. The system exploits triggered mechanisms to address its scalability; moreover, it automates selection of good vantage points to handle the common measurement experience that the much more congested Internet edges could often overshadow the observation for congestion in the core. Using the system, we characterize the properties of concurrently monitored hot spots. Contrary to common belief, we find that strong time-invariant hot spots reside in the Internet core — both within and between large backbone networks. Moreover, we find that congestion events at these hot spots can be highly correlated and such correlated congestion events can span across up to three neighboring ASes.

  • The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California
    The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California 2010-11 Annual Report Letter from the President Major economists are of the opinion that the economy is heading in the right direction at last, but this doesn’t mean that our research and education commu- nity doesn’t have to adjust to a new definition of normal as we begin the hard work of recovery together. Funding for our members is likely to remain severely constrained for the foreseeable future. Nor does the current economic condition mean that the responsibility of our community to build on an already astonishing foundation for the creation of innovation has lessened. In this, the 2010-11 CENIC Annual Report, I invite readers to learn of the ways in which CENIC plays a critical role in helping our member community to create the basis for future economic growth and innovation. For decades, CENIC member institutions have been the destination of choice Jim Dolgonas for brilliant people eager to realize their ideas. California’s legacy in technology President & CEO innovation has been due in large part to this spirit of experimentation – a spirit that has reached even greater heights with the benefits of the advanced network- ing provided by CENIC. However, enabling research-based innovation is only one way in which CENIC promotes a strong State and national economy. The continuing integration of technology into teaching and learning have reshaped the concept of both the classroom and the laboratory such that California’s educators can reach out to all 30 million of the State’s citizens and create a workforce primed to function in the 21st century.

    NEAAR Award #1638863 Year 4 Quarter 4 and Annual Report 1 June 2019 through 31 May 2020 Jennifer M. Schopf, Edward Moynihan, Cathrin Stöver/Tom Fryer – Principal Investigators Summary The Networks for European, American, and African Research (NEAAR) project supports circuits and network services between the US and Europe, in addition to extensive training and science engagement activities to support US collaborations with researchers in Europe and Africa. This report outlines collaborations, science engagement, operational activities, and usage statistics for Year 4 of the project. It covers the period June 1, 2019, through May 31, 2020. Highlights of Year 4 include finalizing an agreement with NEAAR partners to support West and Central African Research and Education Network’s (WACREN) circuit at GÉANT Open in London, completing a perfSONAR MeshBuilder Workshop in Mozambique, advancing new engagements to support US researchers in Madagascar and the Arctic, and strengthening biomedical health data sharing. In Year 5 we are planning to advance our partnerships to expand our support for US research collaborations in Europe, Africa, and the Arctic. We will also continue our proactive science engagement efforts to identify and fix routing anomalies and to improve intercontinental data transfer performance for US researchers. 1. NEAAR Overview NEAAR supports the use of 100G networks between the US and Europe with a focus on measurement and science engagement. The NSF funded network for this project is a 100G circuit between New York (ManLan) and London (GÉANT Open). In addition, GÉANT runs a sister circuit that is a 100G between ManLan and Paris. These circuits are used in production to support a wide variety of science applications and demonstrations of advanced networking technologies.
