  • Networking Packet Broadcast Storms
    Lesson Learned Networking Packet Broadcast Storms Primary Interest Groups Balancing Authorities (BAs) Generator Operators (GOPs) Reliability Coordinators (RCs) Transmission Operators (TOPs) Transmission Owners (TOs) that own and operate an Energy Management System (EMS) Problem Statement When a second network cable was connected from a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) phone to a network switch lacking proper settings, a packet broadcast storm prevented network communications from functioning, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) was lost for several hours. Broadcast storm events have also arisen from substation local area network (LAN) issues. Details A conference room was set up for a training class that needed to accommodate multiple PCs. The bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) packet propagation prevention setting was disabled on a port in the conference room in order to place a network switch off of that port. Upon completion of the training, the network switch was removed; however, the BPDU packet propagation setting was inadvertently not restored. As part of a telephone upgrade project, the traditional phone in this conference room was recently replaced by a VOIP phone. Later, an additional network cable was connected to the output port of this VOIP phone into a secondary network jack within the conference room. When the second network cable was connected from a VOIP phone to a network switch lacking proper settings, a switching loop resulted. Spanning tree protocol is normally used to prevent switching loops from propagating broadcast packets continuously until the network capacity is overwhelmed. A broadcast packet storm from the switching loop prevented network communications from functioning and SCADA was lost for several hours.

  • Wireless LAN (WLAN) Switching
    TECHNICAL WHITEPAPER Wireless LAN (WLAN) Switching An examination of a long range wireless switching technology to enable large and secure Wi-Fi Deployments TECHNICAL WHITEPAPER Wireless LAN (WLAN) Switching This whitepaper provides a detailed explanation of a new wireless switching technology that will allow for large and secure deployments of WLANS. The explosion of wireless networking on the scene in the past few years has been unprecedented. Many compare the market acceptance of this technology to the advent of the early days of Ethernet. When Ethernet was adopted as a standard, it was quickly embraced by the users of PCs, and the acceptance of wireless LANs has followed a similar path. Comparatively, the adoption of the wireless standard, IEEE 802.11, (also known as Wi-Fi) and use of mobile computing platforms is the basis of the wireless revolution. While this is a very good comparative analysis, in the real sense the adoption rate of wireless LANs has been much higher. The worker of today has morphed into a mobile worker that has grown accustomed to information on the fly, and will demand information inside and outside of the workplace. These factors have converged and are providing the impetus for the hyper acceptance of wireless technologies where by IT professionals are faced with the choice of embracing the technology or having it implemented by their users. Wireless Adoption at Warp Speed The next logical evolution of the technology was to make it ubiquitous to the mobile wireless worker. Intel is helping this technology “cross the chasm” into the mainstream by spending $300 million to market their introduction of the Centrino™ mobile technology, which provides built-in Wi-Fi for the mobile computing platform.
