A fine-grained view of high-performance networking

What this talk is about

What this talk is not about

State of the net

Going from four 9’s to five 9’s

Jitter Measurement

20?s accuracy timestamping

Offline Jitter Analysis

99.99% clean

99.99% clean

Better ARP implemention

Packets with “negative” delay?

Jitter shift due to rerouting

Constant baseline sawtooth

Mostly smooth, except...

A very large delay

Rare but significant events

Outage followed by flood

Severe jitter and misordering

Transmit view: “blender event”

Data rate of blender event

Slope shows deceleration

Slope shows deceleration

Monitor routing along with jitter

A recent “micro-blender”

Routing loops cause blenders

Why do loops happen?

Excess churn on lifetime 0 LSPs

Long LSP propagation times

Explanation

Routing loop on another path?

A recent week (very boring)

Experiment conclusions
