Gbps Open Source Routing
Bengt Gördén, Resilans AB
We have shown how open-source routers on new PC hardware allows for forwarding speeds of 10Gb/s and above. We have also shown how the new 10Gb/s interface classification techniques can be used to separate packet forwarding from control plane operation. It is important to isolate the control-plane from forwarding load, since it makes routing protocol and management operation independent of forwarding load. It also increases the resilience against denial-of-service attacks.

PRESENTATION/Q&A
Best Practices in Network Planning and Traffic Engineering
Thomas Telkmap (Cariden), Clarence Filsfils (Cisco), Paolo Lucente (pmacct)
This presentation will review current industry best practises for planning and traffic engineering in IP and MPLS networks. Technologies and approaches will be compared, leveraging experience gained and case studies including a number of Tier 1 deployments. The subjects covered will include:
- Traffic/demand matrices: Methods for determining traffic matrices for IP/MPLS networks
- NetFlow, MPLS, demand estimation, demand deduction
- pmacct NetFlow collector
- The relationship between SLAs and network planning targets
- Network planning simulation and analysis – working and failure cases, what-if scenarios
- Traffic Engineering options and approaches: tactical, strategic, MPLS, IGP
- IPFRR LFA analysis
- Planning IP-over-Optical networks
Duration: 90 minutes
Plenary – Friday 09:00-10:30
PRESENTATION
“Crap” Traffic in IPv6
Geoff Huston
Duration: 20 minutes
PRESENTATION
IPv6 – A Content Provider’s Experiment
Johannes Endres
Content providers are reluctant to offer their services via dual stack servers. Some just lack interest, others fear to cut off users with broken IPv6. To assess the risk, Heise Online, a major German IT news site ran dual stack for 24 hours. This talk presents the preparations, results and a plan for dual stack deployment.
Duration: 30 minutes
PRESENTATION
Application Layer Traffic Optimisation (IETF-ALTO) Technologies in Service Provider Networks
Stefano Previdi
In today’s applications, caching and replication is a vital mechanism in order to provide redundancy, availability and efficiency in content and services delivery. Therefore it becomes critical to have a reliable and efficient mechanism allowing to determine the best location where data/services are to be delivered from and based on multiple criteria: location of the requesting user, infrastructure and resources utilsation, state and performance, policies, etc.
The Network Positioning System (NPS) computes the location of and distance between endpoints. Examples are: an application client willing to locate the closest instance of a movie, a peer-to-peer client willing to find the closest set of peers sharing the requested content, a voice/video conferencing service having to locate the closest bridge for a given user or a cloud computing network willing to locate the closest set of requested resources. NPS leverages network layer information and is operated by the Service Provider willing to deliver NPS services to the application layer.
NPS technology is aligned with the work IETF ALTO (Application Layer Traffic Optimisation) working group that carries the standardisation of a protocol through which ALTO services will be delivered to applications.
The presentation gives an overview on:
- NPS Architecture and applicability
- Implementation and deployment on Service Provider’s infrastructure
- Future directions
Duration: 40 minutes
