Due to their different set of characteris- tics compared to wired networks, they have also received atten- tion from end-to-end developers on transport and application level. -

Unfortunately, the control plane of each network system or protocol layer typically operates independently (e.g., CDNs selecting servers without coordinating with ISPs), resulting in poor interactions between control planes across systems. We can categorize existing systems into one of four general control plane coordination mechanisms that overcome these problems, based on how much information can be shared between control planes. If no information can be shared, control planes simply react to data plane changes as a rudimentary form of coordination (e.g., CDN server selection + ISP trac engineering). -

Master's Thesis
Technische Universit¨atM¨unchen Lehrstuhl f¨urKommunikationsnetze Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Kellerer Master's Thesis Implementation and Performance Evaluation of TCP Extensions in FreeBSD Author: Aris Angelogiannopoulos Matriculation Number: 03626880 Email Address: [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. Lars Eggert Begin: 15. April 2013 End: 15. October 2013 Abstract TCP is the most widely used transport layer protocol and is used in a big range of ap- plications. Understanding its behavior, is critical in order to properly engineer, operate, and evaluate the performance of the Internet, as well as to properly design and implement future networks. It aims into providing fast and reliable communication over an unreli- able network such as the modern Internet. In order to achieve that, it is equipped with a number of mechanisms that allow it to recover from losses etc. How fast a transmission is done, meaning how fast all bytes available for transmission from a sender to a receiver are sent is very important. This thesis explores two extensions of standard TCP that aim into decreasing the time needed for data transmission. The first one is the Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) [DMCG11], an algorithm proposed as an alternative to the standard Fast Recovery algorithm of TCP, used for loss recovery. PRR addresses all the weaknesses that the standard algorithm has. The second extension that is explored is New Congestion Window Validation [FSS13], a method that improves TCP performance for rate-limited traffic. This traffic is produced by applications, which do not use the entire bandwidth available to them by TCP. An implementation for each extension was done in the TCP/IP stack of the FreeBSD kernel. -

iperfTZ: Understanding Network Bottlenecks for TrustZone-based Trusted Applications (Regular Submission, Track D. Security and Privacy)? Christian Göttel, Pascal Felber, and Valerio Schiavoni University of Neuchâtel Rue Emile-Argand 11, CH-2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland [email protected] +41 32 718 2722 Abstract. The growing availability of hardware-based trusted execu- tion environments (TEEs) in commodity processors has recently ad- vanced support (i.e., design, implementation and deployment frame- works) for network-based secure services. Examples of such TEEs in- clude Arm TrustZone or Intel SGX, largely available in embedded, mobile and server-grade processors. TEEs shield services from compro- mised hosts, malicious users or powerful attackers. TEE-enabled devices are largely being deployed on the edge of the network, paving the way for large-scale deployments of trusted applications. These applications al- low processing and disseminating sensitive data without having to trust cloud providers. However, uncovering network performance limitations of such trusted applications is difficult and currently lacking, despite the interest and reliance by developers and system deployers. iperfTZ is an open-source tool to uncover network performance bottle- necks rooted at the design and implementation of trusted applications for Arm TrustZone and underlying runtime systems. Our evaluation based on micro-benchmarks shows current trade-offs for trusted appli- cations, both from a network as well as an energy perspective; an often overlooked yet relevant aspect for edge-based deployments.

Gateway Architectures for Interaction Between the Current Internet and Future Internet Architectures
Gateway Architectures for Interaction between the Current Internet and Future Internet Architectures Piergiacomo De Marchi Padova 2017 Relatore: Prof. Maria Elena Valcher Co-Relatori: Prof. Adrian Perrig Prof. Nicola Dragoni University of Padova Department of Information Engineering Via Gradenigo 6/b, 35131 Padova, Italy Phone +39 049 827 7500 [email protected] www.dei.unipd.it Summary (English) It is challenging for future Internet architectures to be deployed, given the dom- inance of today’s Internet. A way to facilitate deployment of new Internet architectures is to provide a Gateway to transparently facilitate communication between the current and the future Internet. Moreover, a Gateway can exploit properties of the future Internet architectures to provide improved functionality even for legacy-to-legacy communication. In this project, we design, analyze, and implement a gateway for the SCION se- cure Internet architecture. First, the SCION Gateway enables communication between legacy IPv4 or IPv6 hosts and SCION hosts, and second, it enables legacy IP traffic to be encapsulated and transported over the SCION network, hence obtaining SCION security properties even for legacy traffic. In this work, we develop the SCION Gateway and we analyze the security implications/ben- efits for legacy traffic to be interfaced with SCION. We analyze then how the SCION Gateway can provide DDoS defense properties for the legacy hosts it serves, without requiring any change to the legacy network besides obtaining SCION network access. We show that the interfacing between legacy Internet and SCION is possible and efficient through the SCION Gateway, without requiring any major network changes. We then analyze and demonstrate the security benefits that can be achieved for the legacy network and hosts. -
