    avaya.com Network Virtualization using Shortest Path Bridging and IP/SPB Abstract This White Paper discusses the benefits and applicability of the IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) protocol which is augmented with sophisticated Layer 3 routing capabilities. The use of SPB and the value to solve virtualization of today’s network connectivity in the enterprise campus as well as the data center are covered. This document is intended for any technically savvy network manager as well as network architect who are faced with: • Reducing time to service requirements • Less tolerance for network down time • Network Virtualization requirements for Layer 2 (VLAN-extensions) and Layer 3 (VRF-extensions) • Server Virtualization needs in data center deployments requiring a large set of Layer 2 connections (VLANs) • Traffic separation requirements in campus deployments for security purposes as well as robustness considerations (i.e. contractors for maintenance reasons needing access to their equipment or guest access needs) • Multi-tenant applications such as airports, governments or any other network with multiple discrete (legal) entities that require traffic separation WHITE PAPER 1 avaya.com Table of Contents 1.

  • Bandwidth Aggregation Across Multiple Smartphone Devices
    BANDWIDTH AGGREGATION ACROSS MULTIPLE SMARTPHONE DEVICES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Computer Science by Bradley Raymond Zeller January 2014 c 2014 Bradley Raymond Zeller ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Bandwidth Aggregation Across Multiple Smartphone Devices AUTHOR: Bradley Raymond Zeller DATE SUBMITTED: January 2014 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Phillip Nico, Ph.D. Professor of Computer Science COMMITTEE MEMBER: John Bellardo, Ph.D. Professor of Computer Science COMMITTEE MEMBER: Foaad Khosmood, Ph.D. Professor of Computer Science iii ABSTRACT Bandwidth Aggregation Across Multiple Smartphone Devices Bradley Raymond Zeller Smartphones now account for the majority of all cell phones in use today [23]. Ubiquitous Internet access is a valuable feature offered by these devices and the vast majority of smartphone applications make use of the Internet in one way or another. However, the bandwidth offered by these cellular networks is often much lower than we typically experience on our standard home networks, leading to a less-than-optimal user experience. This makes it very challenging and frustrating to access certain types of web content such as video streaming, large file downloads, loading large webpages, etc. Given that most modern smartphones are multi-homed and are capable of ac- cessing multiple networks simultaneously, this thesis attempts to utilize all available network interfaces in order to achieve the aggregated bandwidth of each to improve the overall network performance of the phone. To do so, I implement a bandwidth aggregation system for iOS that combines the bandwidths of multiple devices located within close proximity of each other.

  • LAN Aggregation
    CHAPTER 3 LAN Aggregation Objectives Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to answer the following questions: n What is link aggregation? n What are the commands to configure EtherChannel? n What is EtherChannel technology? n What are the methods to troubleshoot link aggregation with EtherChannel? Key Terms This chapter uses the following key terms. You can find the definitions in the Glossary. Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) page 122 PAgP auto page 127 Link Aggregation Control Protocol LACP active page 129 (LACP) page 122 LACP passive page 129 PAgP desirable page 127 03_SNCG_3282_r2a.indd 121 2/12/14 3:19 PM 122 Scaling Networks Companion Guide Introduction (3.0.1.1) Link aggregation is the ability to create one logical link using multiple physical links between two devices. This allows load sharing among the physical links, rather than having STP block one or more of the links. EtherChannel is a form of link aggrega­ tion used in switched networks. This chapter describes EtherChannel and the methods used to create an Ether­ Channel. An EtherChannel can be manually configured or can be negotiated by using the Cisco­proprietary protocol Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) or the IEEE 802.3ad–defined protocol Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The configuration, verification, and troubleshooting of EtherChannel are discussed. Class Activity 3.0.1.2: Imagine This It is the end of the work day. In your small­ to medium­sized business, you are try­ ing to explain to the network engineers about EtherChannel and how it looks when it is physically set up.

  • MIF Vs Other IETF Efforts
    MIF vs Other IETF Efforts MIF BoF 74th IETF, San Francisco 26‐Mar‐2009 Gabriel Montenegro How is MIF different from other efforts • MIF: how to cope with multiple different interfaces • Address Selection and RFC3484 Design Team efforts • Handling multiple interfaces via one address or identifier – SHIM6 – SCTP – Mobile IP – HIP – RRG and LISP • Handling multiple interfaces via aggregation at Transport or above – Trilogy and Resource Pooling • Proxy MIP and address sharing across interfaces • Link Aggregation, Load‐balancing and failover (LBFO) Default Address Selection and RFC3484 • RFC3484 (and bis) only provide Default address selection. Specific scenarios or protocols beyond this may depart from the default • RFC3484 is currently being revised via a 6MAN design team – Their focus is more on the site/enterprise perspective. • MIF focuses on the node with multiple interfaces case. • Revision to RFC3484 should reflect both of these (and perhaps other) perspectives. • RFC3484 revision is in scope of proposed MIF WG – Including policy injection from multiple interfaces – MIF would work with 6man towards this • But MIF also deals with other issues (e.g., DNS, default gateway) Handling multiple addresses or interfaces • Many efforts to better handle multiple interfaces, addresses, RLOCs (“routing locators”), etc • Two main approaches – via one address or identifier: SHIM6, SCTP, Mobile IP, HIP, RRG and LISP – as aggregated paths at the Transport Layer or above: Trilogy and Resource Pooling at Transport layer • They all share with MIF: – how to choose src/dst pair to talk with peer, so all can benefit from RFC3484 discussions (including better policy injection) – But in doing so, each of the above efforts may depart from the RFC3484 default.

Received: 21 July 2017; Accepted: 17 August 2017; Published: 21 August 2017 Abstract: The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most used transport protocol to exchange reliable data between network devices. A considerable number of extensions have been implemented into TCP to achieve better performance. In this paper, we will present, describe, implement, and analyze a new protocol extension called Bandwidth-Aggregation TCP (BATCP), which enables the concurrent use of network interfaces, to improve network performance on multi-homed nodes. BATCP allows the use of multiple TCP connections to accept multiple IP addresses from a multi-homed node, scheduling segments among them based on a scheduling algorithm. Our results show that BATCP achieves full exploitation of each network interface, achieving up to 100% network utilization using two ADSL connections in real-world scenarios.
