Full Abstract

Main stream Service provider revenue is coming from providing Business L3VPN. V4 L3VPN have been the key driver all along. Moving forward we will start seeing v6 L3VPN coming into picture due to Federal Mandates. These VPN could be using the MPLS transport or the IP transport in the Service provider core. Traditionally MPLS transport has been widely accepted and deployed. But there are many other providers who have protected their investment by using their existing infrastructure build over IP. With IP Core the same L3VPN for v4/v6 has been successfully being deployed and used. This tutorial goes over the advantages and implementation details of achieving v4/v6 L3VPN over IP core. Vendors like Cisco have products which has demonstrated this and various service providers have deployed the same.

Dino Farinacci, Cisco Systems
Dino has built routers for 26 years. He currently is foucsed on building a next generation Data Center platform. His expertise specializes in routing protocols where he has intimate knowledge and implementation experience with IS-IS, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, IGMP, PIM, and MSDP, as well as IPv6 and MPLS protocols. He is an advocate for modular operating systems. Dino also has been a member of the IETF for 19 years making many contributions over this period of time. Dino has worked for cisco since early 1991 but was away for 5 years at Procket Networks where he help build the highest speed and most dense router (still to date) in a half rack chassis which ran a fully modular operating system. He has been back at cisco for 3 years where he is currently working on new multicast routing technology such as Multicast Fast-Reroute, AMT, Multicast Virtualization, and layer-2 data-center multicast. Dino is not just a multicast bigot but works on many other protocol and OS initiatives. For example, very recently he is prototyping an idea called LISP to separate an internet address into an ID and Locator to allow the Internet to scale better. Dino currently works in the Data Center Business Unit at cisco where his focus is on building a next-generation platform and operating system for Enterprise and Data Center environments.

Full Abstract

LISP is a new protocol which seeks to use a level of indirection to separate an IP address into two separate namespaces, one being an endpoint identifier (EID) and the other being a routing locator (RLOC). LISP provides benefits for multi-homed sites to reduce renumbering, control ingress traffic patterns, and allow movement while hosts do not have to change their addresses.

Full Abstract

Service Providers at Internet Peering points have the challenge of monitoring and troubleshooting links that span multiple operators. Current diagnostic tools are either Layer 3 tools like ping and traceroute that offer no visibility of the underlying Layer 2 network or are proprietary and may not work between operators. Monitoring tools available today also are either proprietary or are constrained in the information they provide. With the recent developments in IEEE in ratifying 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) as a standard, a very attractive OAM toolset is available that provides Continuity check, loopback and linktrace. With this the Service providers, Exchange Point providers and Co-location providers have new tools to address the diagnostic challenges and provide higher availability. The presentation will also provide an overview of CFM and presents an example of troubleshooting a network using these tools.

Full Abstract

This 90 minute slot pulls the peering community together "in the round" for a discussion of the top issues or pain points that we all face. From the perennial discussion of peering vs. transit to the capacity issues thwarted by the lack of standards for hi bandwidth pipes, this interactive session will solicit ideas and experiences from the group collective and document them for the broader community.

  • Transit Survey Results - jzp - 10 min
    At the last Peering BOF XVI Joe collected some data points from the community, so in this time he will share back what he learned.
  • 40G/100G Standardization Update - Greg Hankins - 10 minutes
    Lots has changed and some vendor(s) have decided to implement both.
  • Best Current Practices for BGP Filtering - Eric Bell - 10 minutes
    Everyone talks about BGP Filtering, but what are the best current practices?
  • The Value of the Peering Community Network - Peter Cohen - 5 min
    The value of peering is proportional to how much traffic you can pass, but what is the value of the peering network (the peering community itself)?
  • Peeringdb.com Update - Randy - 5 min
    A brief update on this valuable shared resource.
  • Debate: Assume peeringCost=transitCost - 20 min
    If peering and transit are the same cost, does peering make sense?
    We need to find two volunteers to present the strongest arguments on each side for this debate. (We can modify the debate question as the debaters are selected. Another form of the question for example, does the Peering BOF make sense anymore; is all the peering among friends already done?)
    Pro: Go the peering/transit route, Con: only buy transit
    < Debaters TBD >
  • Peering Personals - Meet 6 new peers and 2 old ones - 20 min - All
    Part of the value of being in the same room is the chance to meet potential peers, so we set aside time for a few people to stand up and introduce themselves. If you are interested in doing this, send an email to Bill Norton with Subject: "Peering Personals at NANOG Peering BOF XVI". I will pick a handful of these volunteers.

Full Abstract

The IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) protocol is the upcoming IETF standard for the export of IP flow data, based on Cisco NetFlow V9. It specifies a flexible representation and protocol for transmitting IP traffic flow information over the network from routers, measurement probes or other devices to a collector for storage and analysis. In this talk we briefly describe the IPFIX protocol; the present work of the IETF IPFIX working group including current extensions and enhancements such as a bandwidth-saving encoding method, a representation for bidirectional flows, and an IPFIX-based flow file format; and the status of a variety of presently-available implementations of the protocol.

Full Abstract

Next-generation optical transport technology must cost-effectively scale to support IP core growth rates ranging from 50-100% CAGR depending on the carrier network. To support this high growth rate, new approaches to optical transport technology are being actively pursued to deliver this level of network scalability at an affordable cost to service and content providers. This panel will discuss different approaches to solving this challenge, such as the use of photonic ICs, integration of DWDM into IP routers and the use of advanced optical modulation schemes.

Full Abstract

The Internet's interdomain routing protocol, BGP, is vulnerable to a number of potentially crippling attacks. Many promising cryptography-based solutions have been proposed, but none have been embraced by the necessary communities to garner significant adoption. This is largely due to the difficulty of developing and maintaining the necessary PKI infrastructure and changes to the BGP protocol that the proposed solutions require. Alternative solutions such as anomaly detectors have been unable to provide the same level of security as the cryptographic mechanisms. In this presentation we describe an anomaly detector and response mechanism capable of automatically stopping the propagation of invalid path attacks, a difficult class of attacks to detect. Our solution provides comparable security to the cryptographic methods and could be readily deployed with a simple software upgrade in participating networks.

Full Abstract

The "Death of the Internet" is often predicted by the ill-informed, and provides many a good laugh in the engineering community. While the Internet may not die any time soon, there are significant changes on the horizon. The community is concentrating on IPv6 deployment, which may fundamentally change the way the Internet functions. While IPv6 is important, the ARIN Advisory Council is concerned that another important issue is being overlooked. Soon there will be no more IPv4 addresses in the free pool; which will likely change the way ISP's hook up customers and handle address allocations even more fundamentally than IPv6. Indeed, it may signal The End Of The World As We Know It. A round table of Internet experts will answer questions about some of the fundamental changes that may occur, and may occur faster than many people expect.
