  5. Trends • Communication is more critical than computing • Greeting cards contain more computing power than all computers before 1950. • Genesis's game has more processing than 1976 Cray supercomputer. • Internet: 0.3 M hosts in Jan 91 to 9.5 M by Jan 96Þ More than 5 billion (world population) in 2003

  6. Stone Age to Networking Age • Microwave ovens, stereo, VCRs, had some effect. But, Stone, iron, …, automotive, electricity, telephone, jet plane,…, networks caused a fundamental change in our life style • In 1994, 9% of households with PC had Internet link.By 1997, 26%. Soon 98% … like TV and telephone. • URL is more important than a company's phone number. (54 URLs in first 20 pages of March’97 Good Housekeeping.) • Better communication Þ Distance not important

  9. Life Cycles of Technologies Number of Problems Solved You are here Time Research Productization

  10. 40M 30M 20M 10M Jan91 Jan06 Jan97 Internet Technology • New Challenges: Exponential growth in number of users. Exponential growth in bandwidth per user. Traffic management, Security, Usability, ... HostCount

  11. Garden Path to I-Way • Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) = 64 kbps = 3 ft garden path • ISDN = 128 kbps = 6 ft sidewalk • T1 Links to Businesses = 1.544 Mbps = 72 ft = 4 Lane roadway • Cable Modem Service to Homes:= 10 Mbps = 470 ft = 26 Lane Driveway • OC3 = 155 Mbps = 1 Mile wide superhighway • OC48 = 2.4 Gbps = 16 Mile wide superhighway

  12. High Technology  More vacation

  13. Impact on R&D • Too much growth in one yearÞ Can't plan too much into long term • Long term = 12 year or 102 years at most • Products have life span of 1 year, 1 month, … • Short product development cycles.Chrysler reduced new car design time from 6 years to 2. • Distance between research and products has narrowedÞ Collaboration between researchers and developersÞ Academics need to participate in industry consortia

  14. Impact on Education • Email is faster than telegram  Fast pace of life • Shorter product life cycles.Distance between research and products has narrowed • Technology is changing faster than our ability to learnÞ A person’s value (salary) decreases with experience (years out of college) • Recent graduates know C++, HTML, Java, TCP/IP, ... • New Opportunities/Challenges for educators • New challenges for learners

  15. ATM AsynchronousTransfer Mode ATM • ATM = Asynchronous Transfer Mode • ATM Net = Data Net + Phone Net • Combination of Internet method of communication (packet switching) and phone companies’ method (circuit switching)

  16. Why ATM? • ATM allows voice, video, and data on the same network • No need for separate phone network and data networks (T1 lines or frame relay) • Signaling: You can dial a high-speed call. Bandwidth is available for the duration of the call. • Routing based on quality of desired connection • Traffic management: Someone’s else’s high load will not affect you • Offers multiple classes of service

  17. Our Research Projects • ATM Traffic Management: • Multicasting • TCP/IP over ATM • Real-Time ABR • ATM over Satellite • Voice over Data Networks • Video over Data Networks • Quality of Service over IP • OCARnet: State-wide ATM testbed • OSU National ATM Performance Testing Lab • Wireless Networking

  18. Traffic Management • We invented DECbit scheme in 1986: One Bit in the header Þ Go up/Down • Used now in Frame Relay (FECN) • Used in ATM (EFCI) • In July 1994, we proposed Explicit Rate Approach. Current standard. • Two patents. Collaboration with industry. Destination Source Change rate to 12.3 Mbps

  19. ERICA Switch Algorithm • ATM Forum traffic management standard allows each manufacturer to have its own switch algorithm • We developed “Explicit Rate Indication for Congestion Avoidance (ERICA).” Included in TM4.0 as an example • ERICA+ allows low delay even at 100% utilization and provides stability in the presence of high frequency VBR background traffic • Being implemented by several vendors.Software implementation feasible.

  20. Multicast ABR • Available bit rate (ABR) service provides a feedback to the source about currently available bandwidth in the network. • With one-source multicasting to multiple destinations, the feedback from branches has to be consolidated. • We have developed/analyzed several consolidation and merge-point algorithms.

  21. TCP/IP Over Satellite • Satellite Links have associated with them long delay and bursty error characteristics. • New TCP enhancements (SACK,FRR) have to be evaluated for high throughput on satellite links. • Various switch drop policies (EPD, SD, FBA) have to be evaluated for high throughput and fairness on satellite links. • Modeling of WWW traffic on satellite links using TCP/IP. (Based on WEBSPEC96 model)

  22. Internet Protocols over ATM • Available bit rate (ABR) service uses feedback to minimize congestion. The unspecified bit rate (UBR) service provides no feedback or guarantees. • Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) prefers UBR for TCP • ABR pushes congestion to the edge of the network • ABR recommended for large high-speed networks • We have developed/analyzed ways to improve performance of UBR • We have developed ways to implement Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) with a single FIFO Queue

  23. Real-Time ABR • Compressed video produces variable bit rate (VBR) stream. VBR service is subject to connection denial. • In situations where reduced service is preferable over connection denial, such as in tactical environments, Video over ABR is preferable over no Video. • ABR divides the available bandwidth fairly among contending connections • By proper control, ABR can be designed to reduce delay • Compression parameters can be adjusted dynamically based on network feedback

  24. OCARnet • Ohio Computing and Communications ATM Research Network • Nine-Institution consortium lead by OSU • Ohio State University • Ohio Super Computer Center • OARnet • Cleveland State University • Kent State University • University of Dayton • University of Cincinnati • Wright State University • University of Toledo

  26. Voice over Data Networks • Voice compression and silence suppression reduce the required bandwidth, but cause longer delay. • Analysis of new ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL2): • allows multiplexing inside a cell, • shorter delay and higher utilization. • Analysis of submultiplexing schemes in IP: • to allow multiple voice sources use the same packet, • to reduce delay and transmission overhead.

  27. Video over Data Networks • Hierarchical compression of videoDifferent users can view the same compressed stream at different rates • Network feedback to adjust levels of compression • Forwarding adaptive to network feedback
