Toward Self-Managed networks? Great Progress – 1/2 Demand • Clearly there is a demand to address operational issues which are extremely hard to solve from outside the Network(hard = inaccurate, time- or resource-consuming, otherwise expensive) • Often such issues arise when operating • managed services (ie CPE based services) • large managed infrastructures (ie MPLS VPN, Aggregation) • mobile networks (ie pWLAN aboard trains & buses) Research • Significant amount of research work(ICAC, SelfMan itself are proof of that – Passion & Dedication)
LSP Example: BQA Example: IP SLA Example: Diagnose MPLS b/w msec Sampling Relevant Events Link Capacity SyntheticTraffic Targets Source External App – 5 Min Sampling t Diagnose complex root-causes in MPLS networks Large Scale Monitoring of Delay, Jitter, Packet Drop Banwidth Quality Analysis of micro-congestion Toward Self-Managed networks? Great Progress – 2/2 Implementations • Existing infrastructure => (Event-MIB, Expression-MIB, IOS EEM, RMON, Netconf/E-DI, ...) • Existing smart data sources available=> (IOS BQA/Corvil, IPSLA, IPFIX/NetFlow, RMON, MIBs, etc ...)
Toward Self-Managed networks? Moving Forward – 1/2 Challenges • Bridge the Chasm Need to educate/evangelize on autonomic concepts Need to link autonomic approaches with the outside world(ie.: synch with external applications, dominant in today's operations, provide transparency) • (Speed of) Industry Adoption Need to map research findings onto existing infrastructure Need to leverage existing (today often under-utilized) data sources better
Toward Self-Managed networks? Moving Forward – 2/2 Opportunities • Focused Solutions based on matching: • Demand • Autonomic approaches • Existing device instrumentation • Programmatic Interfaces to Groups of Network Elements lend themselves very nicely to link autonomic approaches with the outside world=> (such as IETF Netconf / Cisco E-DI)
