Full Abstract

Service Providers using MPLS infrastructure want to offer Multicast Services to their customers using the same MPLS core network that are used to offer unicast services. One of the widely deployed solutions has been Multicast VPN or mVPN. However, deploying mVPN has always demanded re-engineering their core links to carry PIM traffic. Also, they could not leverage high service availability features of Fast-reroute for multicast traffic passing through MPLS core.

Recently, IETF has come out with two good solutions: P2MP TE and mLDP, in which MPLS technology has been extended to carry Multicast Traffic using labels, known as Label switched Multicast. The solutions have eliminated the need for any PIM configurations within MPLS core and has greatly simplified service/operational maintenance requirements of SP providers.

This tutorial gives an introductory overview of the two new approaches: P2MP TE and mLDP used to carry Multicast Traffic through SP MPLS core.

The following topics will be covered as part of this tutorial:

• Motivation
• Multicast Solutions
• P2MP TE Overview
• mLDP Overview
• P2MP TE Demo
• Q and A

• Evaluating Potential Routing Diversity for Internet Failure Recovery
  
  by Bin Liu and Chengchen Hu, Tsinghua University; Kai Chen and Yan Chen, Northwestern University
  
  As the Internet becomes a critical infrastructure component of our global information-based society, any interruption to its availability can have significant economical and societal impacts. However, despite many research which tried to improve the resilience through the BGP policy-compliant paths, it has been demonstrated that the Internet is still highly vulnerable when major failures happen.
  
  In this work, we aim to overcome the inherent constraint of the existing BGP-compliant recovery schemes and, and propose to seek additional potential routing diversity through Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) and relaxing BGP peering links. The focus of this paper is to evaluate the potentiality of these two schemes, rather than on their implementations. Using our most complete AS link map with 31K nodes and 142K links, we demonstrate that the proposed schemes can recover 40% to 80% of disconnected paths on average (which cannot be recovered via BGP), with rich path diversity to avoid congested links. Our work suggests a promising venue to address the Internet failures.
  
  
• A value-based framework for Internet peering agreements
  
  By Amogh Dhamdhere, CAIDA; Pierre Francois, UCL; Constantine Dovrolis, Georgia Tech
  
  Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use complex peering policies, stipulating various rules for peering with other networks. Peering strategy is often considered a ``black art'' rather than science, and the outcome of a peering negotiation can depend on factors that are neither technical nor economic. Consequently, ISPs do not have a clear idea of the networks they should peer with, and the price they should demand/offer to ensure a stable peering link. We propose a quantitative framework for settlement-free and paid-peering links, based on the ``value'' of a peering link, i.e., the benefit that networks see from that link. We first study a solution where a centralized oracle determines a provably stable, optimal and fair price for a paid-peering link, based on perfect knowledge of the revenues and costs of each network. We next show that with perfect knowledge, the centralized solution can be implemented individually by the peering networks. We then study the effects of inaccurate estimation of peering value by the peering networks. Finally, we examine how value-based peering affects the density of peering links, the nature of end-to-end paths, and the profitability of various network types in the global Internet.
  
  
• DNSSEC Visualization
  
  By Casey Deccio, Sandia National Laboratories
  
  As DNSSEC adoption grows, more and more DNS administrators are signing their zones because of mandate, technical interest, or actual security need. However, the pervasiveness of DNSSEC misconfigurations in signed zones has shown that deployment is non-trivial. As increasing organizations begin deploying validating resolvers the misconfigurations will result in resolution failure. DNSSEC troubleshooting tools exist, but have historically been catered towards seasoned users and have not been comprehensive enough to identify issues among hierarchical and lateral dependencies. While they often confirm the problem, it is not easy to pinpoint the source. DNSViz was created to help administrators see the "entire picture" graphically from name queried to trust anchor. I will discuss as part of the presentation some of the common problems encountered with DNSSEC deployment, some techniques to help troubleshoot, and how DNSViz automates this process.
  
  
• EyeP: Visualizing IPv4 Address allocation and usage
  
  By Lucas Wang, Lixia Zhang
  
  In this slides deck, we present a visualization tool EyeP to better understand IPv4 address allocation and usage in BGP. By using our tool, it's very convenient to capture where in address space have addresses been issued and what address blocks still remain unallocated. In addition, by correlating with global BGP routing table, we are able to see how many prefixes are announced within each allocated address block. We also observed that (1) around 25 /8 amount of addresses are allocated and are not announced in BGP, (2) 2000 ASes announced 1 ~ 1.5 /8 amount of unallocated prefixes in history. A subset of BGP monitors even observed 8 ASes, in different periods, announcing a long list of unallocated /8 prefixes.

Full Abstract

A decade of research has been devoted to addressing vulnerabilities in BGP. The result is a plethora of BGP security proposals, each providing different types of security guarantees. To inform decisions about which of these protocols should be deployed in the Internet, we *quantify* and *compare* the ability of these protocols to blunt BGP "traffic attraction" attacks, namely, when an attacker manipulates BGP messages to blackhole traffic (e.g. prefix hijacks a la AS7007, Pakistan Telecom/YouTube), or intercept traffic (e.g. BGP man-in-the-middle attacks a la Pilosov & Kapela). We run simulations of traffic flow on maps of the Internet’s AS-level topology to determine and compare the impact of attacks on different BGP security protocols. The key implication of our work is that route filtering can be as effective as cryptographic routing protocols like Secure BGP (S-BGP) and secure origin BGP (soBGP).

Full Abstract

Prefix hijacking, in which an unauthorized network announces IP prefixes of other networks, is a major threat to the Internet routing security. Existing detection systems either generate many false positives, requiring frequent human intervention, or are designed to protect a small number of specific prefixes. Therefore they are not suitable to protect data traffic at networks other than the prefix owner during on-going hijacks.

We design and implement a system that detects a specific type of prefix hijacking, large route leaks, at real time and without requiring authoritative prefix ownership information.

In a large route leak, an unauthorized network hijacks prefixes owned by multiple different networks. By correlating suspicious routing announcements along the time dimension and comparing with a network’s past behavior, we are able to identify a network’s abnormal behavior of offending multiple other networks at the same time. Applying the detection algorithm to routing data from 2003 through 2009, we identify five to twenty large route leaks every year. They typically hijack prefixes owned by a few tens of other networks, last from a few minutes to a few hours, and pollute routes at most vantage points of the data collector.

In 2009 there are nine events detected, none of which was mentioned on operator mailing lists, but all of them are confirmed through our communication with individual operators of affected networks. The system can take real-time routing data feed and conduct the detection quickly, enabling automated response to these attacks without requiring authoritative prefix ownership information or human intervention.
