(cont.) ❒ Security and anonymity: “easier” to add at application layer? ❒ Can be used to get around congestion/bad routing in the underlay (can route differently from underlay). Can do more complex routing but lose “access” to underlying measures like topology, delay, QoS: lose performance (???) but gain flexibility/functionality ❒ Overlay is a single entity that combines heterogeneous underlays to provide the homogeneous overlay ❒ “New” data transmission functions: broadcast and multicast can be done in overlay 11 Internet Routing ❒ BGP defines routes between stub networks Internet 2 Berkeley.net UMass.net C&W Mediaone UCLA Noho.net 12 Internet Routing ❒ BGP defines routes between stub networks Internet 2 Berkeley.net UMass.net C&W Mediaone Noho-to-UMass UCLA Noho.net 13 Internet Routing ❒ BGP defines routes between stub networks Internet 2 Berkeley.net UMass.net C&W Mediaone Noho-to-Berkeley UCLA Noho.net 14 Internet Routing Internet 2 Berkeley.net UMass.net Congestion or failure: Noho to Berkely C&W BGP-determined route may not change (or will change slowly) Mediaone Noho-to-Berkeley UCLA Noho.net 15 Internet Routing Noho to UMass to Berkeley ❒ Route not visible or available via BGP! ❒ MediaOne can’t route to Internet 2 Berkeley via Internet2 Berkeley.net UMass.net Congestion or failure: Noho to Berkely C&W BGP-determined route may not change (or will change slowly) Mediaone Noho-to-Berkeley UCLA Noho.net 16 RON: Resilient Overlay Networks Premise: by building application overlay network, can increase performance, reliability of routing application-layer Two-hop (application-level) router noho-to-Berkeley route 17 RON Experiments ❒ Measure loss, latency, and throughput with and without RON ❒ 13 hosts in the US and Europe ❒ 3 days of measurements from data collected in March 2001 ❒ 30-minute average loss rates ❍ A 30 minute outage is very serious! ❒ Note: Experiments done with “No-Internet2- for-commercial-use” policy -18 An order-of-magnitude fewer failures 30-minute average loss rates RON No RON Loss Rate Better Change Worse 10% 479 57 47 20% 127 4 15 30% 32 0 0 50% 20 0 0 80% 14 0 0 100% 10 0 0 6,825 “path hours” represented here" 12 “path hours” of essentially complete outage" 76 “path hours” of TCP outage" !RON routed around all of these!!

  • Qos Support in MPLS Networks
    1 QoS Support in MPLS Networks MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance White Paper May 2003 By: Victoria Fineberg, Consultant [email protected] Abstract MPLS is sometimes used synonymously with QoS, but more accurately, it is a QoS- enabling technology that forces application flows into connection-oriented paths and provides mechanisms for traffic engineering and bandwidth guarantees along these paths. Furthermore, when an MPLS network supports DiffServ, traffic flows can receive class- based admission, differentiated queue servicing in the network nodes, preemption priority, and other network treatment that provide bases for QoS guarantees. The IETF work in this area has been augmented by the MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance Implementation Agreement which extends MPLS to the user-network interface, and thus serves as a foundation for implementing QoS end-to-end. This paper describes various QoS and MPLS mechanisms and analyzes their applicability. 2 Table of Contents 1.

  • The Role of Emerging Broadband Technologies on the Converged
    The Role of Emerging Broadband Technologies on the Converged Packet-Based Network Introduction The vision of network convergence toward a consolidated packet-based network has been discussed for years, though it is still not a reality. Currently, there are numerous overlay networks such as IP, ATM, FR, Ethernet, SONET, DWDM and wireless for different services. The evolution pace toward convergence has been slow due to economic, technical and regulatory issues. However, the fact is that data traffic volume is now surpassing voice traffic volume. Traditional TDM voice traffic is moving to IP packets and TDM private line is moving to Ethernet private line. The wave of broadband applications such as Internet access, VOD, and IPTV create high bandwidth requirements for the network. These applications are packet-based, but have a much lower margin of profit for the service providers when compared to traditional voice service. Today’s overlay and traditional circuit-based infrastructure will become less optimal for the new packet-based services as the profit margin decreases. Most of the wireless networks in North America today are still circuit-based because most of the current wireless service is still voice-based. However, with emerging wireless access technologies such as WiMAX and Wi-Fi, more broadband wireless data and video services can be deployed. As a result, the wireless core network evolves toward a packet-based network. Service offerings drive network evolution. As more packet-based broadband services are launched and bundled together in service offerings, service providers start to add more packet-aware features into their current network components.

  • VPLS: the Switched Ethernet
    VPLS: The Switched Ethernet Executive Summary VPLS is becoming a popular networking option. Its inherent Ethernet any-to-any connectivity model makes VPLS a popular choice for enterprises adding or deleting sites. Existing Ethernet users may have a simple implementation by modifying existing Ethernet equipment, which will also scale easily to meet future bandwidth needs. Although it has many advantages, VPLS may not be right for every business. This paper explains VPLS and discusses when it is a good networking solution. VPLS: The Switched Ethernet __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 VPLS, or Virtual Private LAN Service, is a widely used term in today’s bottom half of the Data Link Layer. The Data Link Layer uses Media networking environment.

  • Vlans Feature Overview and Configuration Guide
    TechnicalTTechnicalechnical GuideGuidGuidee Virtual LANs (VLANs) Feature Overview and Configuration Guide VLAN Introduction This guide describes Virtual LANs (VLANs), VLAN features and configuration on the switch. It begins with a description of what a VLAN is, its evolution and purpose, and also provides the meaning of some common VLAN terminology. This is followed with a detailed look at VLAN implementation. Port-based VLAN membership is the most common way to split a network into sets of virtual LANs. We look at how this is achieved using the VLAN tagging. The use of double-tagging (or VLAN stacking) to tunnel VLANs across Layer 2 networks is described, and an example is provided for the configuration of VLAN stacking. Next we discuss private VLANs and the communication rules that limit what is possible between devices operating within the VLAN. AlliedWare Plus™ has two private VLAN solutions: private VLANs for ports in Access Mode private VLANs for ports in Trunked Mode Configuration examples are provided for both of these solutions. Then, we look at combining private VLANs with other features, such as: EPSR, ARP, LLDP, GVRP, Link aggregation, and management servers. The guide ends with a section on configuring protocol based VLANs and then describes how data counters are used to count both the number of received frames or the number of received bytes (octets) belonging to a particular VLAN. C613-22001-00 x REV C alliedtelesis.com Products and software version that apply to this guide This guide applies to all AlliedWare Plus™ products, running version 5.4.4 or later. However, not all features in this guide are supported on all products.
