Agent Exten. for AN GR2k C-Interface Kernel CCM GR2k NIC

  8. Programmability • Active code programs using standardized interfaces (additionally to direct access to the router via the GR2k Java/C interfaces) • Interface modules: • Multicast: Membership management (IETF IDMR WG) Mediation (IETF MALLOC WG) • QoS: RSVP (RSVP-API, Traffic Control Interface), DiffServ functionality (Traffic Control Interface, Bandwidth Brokers) • Metering: Access to IP Meter for active applications

  9. BANG Key Features • Value-Added IP Active Network Nodes (Active Router, Active Communication Server) • Value-Added IP Service Creation: high-level services (IP Telephony, VPN) require association of several basic IP services • Three level architecture (active [U], programmable [L+], fixed part [L-]) reflects performance vs. flexibility tradeoff • Code distribution: Mobile Agent and DPE platforms • Distinction between node-local and network-wide functionality => Extended network view for active application development and deployment • Transition to a programmable/active network:partial AN deployment with full end-to-end QoS support • Architecture supports legacy software architectures: RSVP implementations, DiffServ on Linux implementation

  10. Service Creation Examples • Video on Demand (partial ‘hard’ reservation plus filtering) • VPN (policy, QoS [reservation], metering) • Multimedia Conferencing (QoS [reservation], multicast) • VoIP / IP Telephony: association of call-setup signaling, QoS [DiffServ, adaptivity], multicast, metering • End-to-End QoS using IntServ and DiffServ • Active Firewalling: Fast reactions against attacks

  11. Active Applications: Service Creation • Creation of high-level services (Telephony) require association of several basic IP services • Significant performance gains can be achieved when basic IP services are employed in a coordinated way

  13. Present: Policy-based Routing • Detour Routing + Peterson’s work on end-to-end media streams • Use Active Nets to deploy intelligence onto edge devices • Make decisions based on metrics/policies concerning how to route a flow through the network • Multiple metrics/policies allow for increased intelligence in the routing decisions that we can take • Programmable Networks provide substrate for introducing informed routing decisions into the network

  14. Present: Policy-based Routing • Current Node Architecture • ANTS • Active Network Execution Environment • Openet • Programmable Router interface • ABONE • Provides virtual topology and packet demultiplexing • Linux v2.4 Kernel & GR2000 • Provide flexible routing infrastructure

  17. Future: Overlay Networks • Decentralized systems like Peer-to-Peer applications (Gnutella, FreeNet etc.) have scalability problems • Lack of fixed infrastructure means that infrastructure must be created by the nodes of the overlay network • Provide BGP-like hierarchies and route aggregation for Ad-Hoc Overlay Networks • System also self-organizing: does not require static AS definitions, groups are dynamically created at runtime depending on metrics (delay, hops etc.) • Scales up and down according to number of nodes in the system • Related work: SOAR at UCL, Rendezvous at Washington Uni

  18. Future: Overlay Networks • Proposal: Programmable Networks allow us to make intelligent routing decisions • Problem with tunnelled overlay networks is sub-optimal routing due to routing decision being based on the encapsulating packet header • With Programmable Networks we can make routing decisions based upon the tunnelled packet header • Application-awareness in the network is thus easy to deploy as it just consists of injecting new code onto selective active devices in the network

  19. Conclusions • Programmable Networks consist of intelligent IP router and co-located Active Network platform • Combines the flexibility of Active Networks with the high-performance of a hardware-based router • Past application: Active Loss Concealment (IWAN2000 paper) • Currently we are building a policy-based routing system based upon Programmable Networks • One future direction is the usage of Programmable Networks to steer Overlay Networks (OpenArch’01 paper)
