This paper updates and extends information gathered in 2008 by the Joint Committee of Higher Education and Entertainment Communities1, which at that time was interested in learning more about vendor solutions to reduce the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials. The authors hope this up-to-date distillation will make it easier to identify and adopt technical solutions for a variety of campus networks – the paper considers a range of technical possibilities to cover as many network topologies as possible. Briefly, general technical approaches to reducing piracy along with examples are described in Section 2 and detailed in Section 3. Comments on other situations campuses may face can be found in Section 4. A list of vendors and products referenced in these sections can be found in Appendix A. The goal is to identify vendors and we make no endorsements. It’s important to note that while CIOs/CTOs often think in terms of new equipment, the authors found that existing equipment may often be readily used to address illegal file sharing – in many cases, basic technologies are useful for both network management/security and reducing copyright infringements. The authors note that technology is only one aspect of a program to reduce illegal file sharing. Other components necessary for an effective program include copyright awareness and education. Note that critical legal and policy issues not addressed by this document are explored in numerous other references and can be found by following links in Appendix E. 1Information about the Joint Committee can be found here: http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Major+Initiatives/JointCommitteeoftheHigherEduca/1204 Motion Picture Laboratories, Inc. 3 Technical Guidance Ref : ML-FSGUIDE for Complying with Version : 2.0 HEOA Provisions Date : April 8, 2012 2 GENERAL TECHNICAL APPROACHES In this section, we identify five broad categories of technical approaches that may be used to combat copyright infringement: Broadly categorized, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Advanced Monitoring Solutions (AMS) recognize infringing activities and provide the technology and tools which can be used to implement graduated response. Both SIEM and AMS are generally passive technologies. Web filters and inline monitoring and IDS/IPS solutions recognize infringing activities and can provide the technology and tools to implement a graduated response. These technologies can also actively block the infringing activities. The following table highlights some considerations when deciding on a technology.

Consider site blocking when/if incidents arise that either are against your college or university’s network-user conduct policies or which otherwise adversely affect the operability of your campus network. Also challenging are servers on campus networks. Rotate lightweight solutions through campus to look for violations. Potentially put the responsibility on the student by having them opt-in to various access situations. 2 Snort (www.snort.org) is a free intrusion detection/protection system. 3 Be Aware You’re Uploading (BAYU), http://bayu.umich.edu/ Motion Picture Laboratories, Inc. 4 Technical Guidance Ref : ML-FSGUIDE for Complying with Version : 2.0 HEOA Provisions Date : April 8, 2012 It is important that goals be realistic and to recognize that the goal for technical measures is to reduce illegal file sharing and not to eliminate. It’s also important not to be distracted by information concerning the robustness of any solution surrounding illegal file sharing. There are countermeasures for almost every technology described in this paper. However, in practice the above techniques have been proven effective at colleges and universities across the country. It will require work and diligence, but in the end you can create an effective and manageable system. It should also be noted that many corporations use very similar techniques to limit the access of their employees to engage in similar or even more expansive activities (e.g. access to social media sites). We recommend that any solution selected have mechanisms that allow community members to opt-in to obtain access to restricted technologies and sites for non-infringing uses. The opt-in can range from an automated mechanism (for example, a click-through “day pass” for P2P) to a more generalized approach (for example, terms of use permitting students to use P2P if they’re willing to accept more severe sanctions if they receive a DMCA notice). 2.1 Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) SIEM is a low cost, entry-level approach to reducing copyright infringements on campus. Created over a decade ago, SIEM technology compiles “transactions” or “events” generated by systems, applications, databases, and network devices such as routers, switches, and hubs. Summaries of network events are collected and analyzed to determine what’s happening on the network. This enables network administrators to create alarms that signal certain network conditions (such as specific events or when particular thresholds are reached) that you and your professional staff will want to address. For example, a systems administrator might set a threshold on the maximum traffic per day to individual computers on the residential network; if this were exceeded, it would be considered an event. While traditional log management tools exist, SIEM is a superset of functionality, which includes not just logs, but event interpretation, and analytics to determine proper courses of action based on those events. Pros Cons Offers a low cost entry point for various types of reporting and Devices must be configured to produce and write compliance. logs. This is relatively basic, but assumes that the The device that accumulates these logs

The goal is to minimize the impact of congestion in networks on the traffic’s Quality of Service. It can be used to achieve certain performance goals, and its careful application can ultimately improve the quality of an end user's experience in a technically and economically sound way, without detracting from the experience of others. Several Traffic Management mechanisms are vital for a functioning Internet carrying all sorts of Over-the-Top (OTT) applications in “Best Effort” mode. Another set of Traffic Management mechanisms is also used in networks involved in a multi-service context, to provide differentiated treatment of various services (e.g.

    A Passive Approach to Detection of Traffic Shaping Mark Norman and John Leis Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, University of Southern Queensland, Australia, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract—Internet service providers often alter the profile of Shapers delay some or all of the packets in data traffic, a practice referred to as “shaping”. This may be a traffic stream in order to bring the stream into done in order to comply with a service contract, or for the compliance with a traffic profile. A shaper usually provisioning of services with real-time delivery constraints. This means that the effective throughput to the customer is reduced has a finite-size buffer, and packets may be discarded in some way, either for all traffic, or for one or more individual if there is not sufficient buffer space to hold the flows. The presence of traffic shaping may be controversial in delayed packets. some circumstances, particularly when certain classes of traffic are shaped (thus altering the traffic profile). The detection of Shaping is usually implemented in practice via a buffer- the existence of traffic shaping on a particular connection or ing algorithm – the so-called “leaky bucket” or the “token flow is desirable, but technically it is a nontrivial problem.

Bayless Technology Scan Series 2011-2012 0 Connected Vehicle Insights: 4G Wireless: Vehicle and Highway Gateways to the Cloud ITS America INTRODUCTION With Fourth Generation cellular (4G), we will see the complete extension of the internet suite of protocols to the wireless environment. 4G likely represents the end of the traditional siloed telecommunications approach that has been the result of decades of investment in single-application “purpose built” wireless technologies (e.g. radio, TV, land mobile, and cellular) and regulatory practice. Current investment patterns in infrastructure provide a strong indication of what will be available and provided in what quantities, quality, and cost beyond 2015 for both terminal devices and network infrastructure. This paper examines how next generation wide-area cellular such as 4G will be able to support vehicular applications, and how transportation infrastructure may mesh with wireless networks. Specifically, it suggests that automotive electronics engineers will need to be cognizant of how application data is treated by 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, and how innovations such as self-organizing femto-cells, “traffic shaping” and heterogeneous or “vertical roaming” across different radio access technologies may improve the performance of off-board or “cloud” -based vehicular applications Furthermore, the paper suggests that over the long term, vehicles will serve as wireless gateways that manage and collect data a number of devices or sensors deployed in vehicles and highway infrastructure, utilizing 4G cellular as the last-mile wide-area connection to the cloud.

  • RFC 6349 Testing with Truespeed™ from JDSU—Experience Your
    RFC 6349 Testing with TrueSpeed™ from JDSU— Experience Your Network as Your Customers Do RFC 6349 is the new transmission control protocol (TCP) throughput test methodology that JDSU co-authored along with representatives from Bell Canada and Deutsche Telecom. Recently issued by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) organization, RFC 6349 provides a repeatable test method for TCP throughput analysis with systematic processes, metrics, and guidelines to optimize the network and server performance. This application note summarizes RFC 6349, “Framework for TCP Throughput Testing,” and highlights the automated and fully compliant JDSU RFC 6349 implementation, TrueSpeed, now available on the JDSU T-BERD®/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application Module (MSAM) and T-BERD/MTS-5800 Handheld Network Tester. This application note also discusses the integration of TrueSpeed RFC 6349 with the ITU Y.1564 Ethernet service activation standard. This powerful testing combination provides a comprehensive means to ensure an optimized end-customer experience in multi-service (such as triple play) environments. RFC 6349 TCP Test Methodology RFC 6349 specifies a practical methodology for measuring end-to-end TCP throughput in a managed IP network with a goal of providing a better indication of the user experience. In the RFC 6349 framework, TCP and IP parameters are also specified to optimize TCP throughput. RFC 6349 recommends always conducting a Layer 2/3 turn-up test before TCP testing. After verifying the network at Layer 2/3, RFC 6349 specifies conducting

Delivering such traffic is to a fixed value, independently of the current level of link expensive for ISPs because they pay other ISPs based on peak utilization [16]. A few ISPs even resort to blocking entire utilization. To limit costs, many ISPs are deploying ad-hoc traffic shaping policies that specifically target bulk flows. However, there applications [12]. So far, these policies are not supported by is relatively little understanding today about the effectiveness of an understanding of their economic benefits relative to their different shaping policies at reducing peak loads and what impact negative impact on the performance of bulk transfers, and thus these policies have on the performance of bulk transfers. their negative impact on customer satisfaction. In this paper, we compare several traffic shaping policies with respect to (1) the achieved reduction in peak network traffic Against this backdrop, this paper poses and answers two and (2) the resulting performance loss for bulk transfers. We questions: identified a practical policy that achieves peak traffic reductions of up to 50% with only limited performance loss for bulk 1.

  • Experience the Network As Your Customers Do— Closing the Turn-Up Gap
    Experience the Network as Your Customers Do— Closing the Turn-up Gap Traditionally, Layer 2/3 turn-up tests such as RFC 2544 have been conducted when installing Ethernet services. After providers “certify” their networks with either an RFC 2544 test or the new Y.1564 test, they can still receive complaints of poor application performance from business-end customers using video conferencing, YouTube, Facebook, or cloud-based applications. The gap in installation testing, namely the omission of transmission control protocol (TCP)-layer testing, which is key to optimal end-customer application layer performance, is the cause for this disconnect. Figure 1 portrays a simplified view of the protocol stack and the gap between current turn-up testing methodologies and the end-user experience. End User applications (Facebook, YouTube) TCP Testing gap is TCP IP/Ethernet Tested by RFC 2544 and Y.1564 Figure 1. Simplified protocol stack showing the gap between turn-up testing and the end-user experience This testing gap does not let network providers experience network performance like their customers, so they need a solution that can verify TCP-layer performance before end-customer activation. Testing at the TCP layer can eliminate additional truck rolls, tech support calls, and customer churn which provides substantially positive implications to providers’ operating expenses (OpEx).

Chang David Su ABSTRACT In Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN), the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network architecture has been adopted as the switching and multiplexing scheme. One of the important ATM architectural issues is trafBc and congestion control. Many schemes, algorithms and theories have been studied for network flow control, congestion control, and trafBc control in order to find suitable techniques to manage network trafBc effectively to meet the quality of service requirement for network users. Among B-ISDN terminals in a Customer Premises Network (CPN) domain, a new flow control concept refered to as Generic Row Control (GFC), has been adopted and its protocol standardization is under study.
