  • 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.

  • Status of Open Source and Commercial Ipv6 Firewall Implementations (Paper)
    Status of Open Source and commercial IPv6 firewall implementations Dr. Peter Bieringer AERAsec Network Services & Security GmbH [email protected] http://www.aerasec.de/ European Conference on Applied IPv6 (ECAI6) Cologne, Germany September 6 - 7, 2007 Abstract IPv6, the successor of IPv4, has been ready for production for quite some time. For security reason, firewalling in IPv6 is also an important requirement. This paper presents an overview of the status of Open Source and commer- cial implementations. Introduction With IPv4 nowadays, many client-to-server and most client-to-client communications are intercepted by gate- ways with address and port masquerading abilities, usually named Network (and Port) Address Translation (NAT, NAPT). This prohibits native client-to-client communication, if both peers are located behind such gate- ways. In this case, only special tunnelling techniques, like STUN (Simple traversal of UDP over NATs), which requires special servers located at the Internet, or other ªfirewall-piercingº methods can help to establish native and bidirectional client-to-client communication. One of the goals of IPv6 is the re-introduction of bidirectional, native end-to-end communication without play- ing any tricks on gateways in between. Also, IPv6 has a large enough address space which should suffice for the next decades. Therefore NAT was left out by design, too. Jumping back to IPv4, the initial intention of introducing NAT was the lack of IPv4 addresses for use in internal networks, while still allowing clients to open connections to the Internet via a hiding mechanism. It turned out to also protect internal networks against threats from the Internet, because under normal circumstances (bug- free stateful hiding-NAT implementation on the gateway) it©s not possible for an outside node to connect to an internal host without any dedicated rule on the gateway.

Childers Dr. Hideyuki Tokuda, Keio University Dissertation Director: Dr. Daniel Moss´e ii Copyright c by Takashi Okumura 2007 iii VIRTUALIZATION OF NETWORK I/O ON MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS Takashi Okumura, Ph.D University of Pittsburgh, 2007 Network I/O of modern operating systems is incomplete. In this network age, users and their applications are still unable to control their own traffic, even on their local host. Network I/O is a shared resource of a host machine, and traditionally, to address problems with a shared resource, system research has virtualized the resource. Therefore, it is reasonable to ask if the virtualization can provide solutions to problems in network I/O of modern operating systems, in the same way as the other components of computer systems, such as memory and CPU. With the aim of establishing the virtualization of network I/O as a design principle of operating systems, this dissertation first presents a virtualization model, hierarchical virtual- ization of network interface. Systematic evaluation illustrates that the virtualization model possesses desirable properties for virtualization of network I/O, namely flexible control gran- ularity, resource protection, partitioning of resource consumption, proper access control and generality as a control model.

  • Architecture for Programmable Network Infrastructure
    Architecture for programmable network infrastructure Tom Barbette Université de Liège Faculté des Sciences Appliquées Département d’Electricité, Electronique et Informatique Doctoral Dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Docteur en Sciences (Informatiques) May 2018 ii Summary Software networking promises a more flexible network infrastructure, poised to leverage the computational power available in datacenters. Virtual Net- work Functions (VNF) can now run on commodity hardware in datacenters instead of using specialized equipment disposed along the network path. VNFs applications like stateful firewalls, carrier-grade NAT or deep packet inspection that are found “in-the-middle”, and therefore often categorized as middleboxes, are now software functions that can be migrated to reduce costs, consolidate the processing or scale easily. But if not carefully implemented, VNFs won’t achieve high-speed and will barely sustain rates of even small networks and therefore fail to fulfil their promise. As of today, out-of-the-box solutions are far from efficient and cannot handle high rates, especially when combined in a single host, as multiple case studies will show in this thesis. We start by reviewing the current obstacles to high-speed software net- working. We leverage current commodity hardware to achieve what seemed impossible to do in software not long ago and made software solutions be- lieved unworthy and untrusted by network operators. Our work paves the way for building a proper software framework for a programmable network infrastructure that can be used to quickly implement network functions. We built FastClick, a faster version of the Click Modular Router, that allows fast packet processing thanks to a careful integration of fast I/O frame- works and a deep study of interactions of their features.
