Secure Content Centric Mobile Network (SECON)

Mooi Choo Chuah, Lehigh University
Xiong Xiong, Lehigh University

Abstract

New wireless technologies allow mobile users to have easy access to real time data, and stay connected with friends, colleagues, & business partners. However emerging applications are usually data-centric but existing IP oriented paradigms are not flexible enough to support this. To support emerging mobile applications, we are developing a next generation mobile network that supports mobile content centric networking features, namely (a) intentional named message delivery, (b) content-centric security, (c) push-pull based data disseminations.

In our new SECON network, users can send User Interest (UI) packets to Content Resolution Server (CRS) to request for content data (CD) packets associated with a particular URI. The UIs will be forwarded by the receiving CRS to other CRSes that know who will be publishing content packets related to that URI. The UIs can also have intentional-named destinations e.g. all CRSes within a certain geographical area. In addition content publishers can send content publish announcements to CRSes before they forward content data packets to these CRSes. We have a preliminary prototype that supports UI, CPA & CD features. More features will be added in the near future.

Steven Winburn, Clemson University

Abstract

Today’s society is witnessing a tremendous increase in digital information. Myriads of applications call for the pooling and sharing of massive amounts of widely-scattered data at ever increasing scales that require a commensurate infrastructure of powerful networked distributed systems across wide and diverse areas. We will implement two existing data sharing algorithms, Cycloid and LORD, on the P2P and MANET networks, and thus identify and investigate potential issues in data sharing applications in these different heterogeneous networks.  We are using GENI as the testbed for simulating the P2P and MANET network environments.  Also, we will conduct a multi-system GENI experiment to demonstrate how each domain should have its own routing solutions while all the domains are federated through OpenFlow gateways.

Yong Li, Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University

Abstract

Network community needs a flexible platform for network experiment of new architectures, algorithms and protocols in the research of network innovation. However, building such a platform faces lots of challenges due to its complicate requirements. In this poster, we present TUNIE, a network testbed for rapid concurrent experiment of network innovation on virtualized programmable infrastructure in China. ExpoNet provides end-to-end slice including wired and wireless components, which integrates both software- and hardware-based router virtualization technologies to provide a flexible approach to configure and customize both the control plane and data plane while satisfying various experiment requirements. In the wireless part, we have a sensor testbed including 100 wireless sensor nodes, and a WiFi testbed. In the wired part, we have setup one OpenFlow network, and two virtualization testbed based on multi-core servers and FPGA data plane. In our current platform implementation, we have four sites, two sites in Tsinghua University, one another university of BUPT, and one in China Union, one of the largest Service Providers in China. We have setup a Federation plan to extend our platform with other Universities and companies like HUST, Huawei, etc.

Measurement Data Archive (DigitalObjectRegistry)

Giridhar Manepalli, CNRI
Prasad Calyam, Ohio Supercomputing Center

Abstract

Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) will be demonstrating the functionality of the proposed Measurement Data Archive, which is implemented using the Digital Object Architecture.

The Measurement Data Archive prototype system consists of two components: 1) User Workspace and 2) Object Archive. The User Workspace component is an entry point for users (e.g., experimenters, instrumentation researchers, etc.) to store and transfer measurement data, which could be in a variety of forms (e.g., formatted datasets, raw files, etc.). Data and metadata files managed in the user workspace can be archived for long-term storage in an Object Archive. Once data is archived, a persistent and unique identifier is created.

DDoS Attack Detection & DoS Attacks Exploiting WiMAX System Parameters

Ilker Ozcelik, Holcombe Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
Lu Yu, Clemson University

Abstract

The poster comprises two parts. In part one, we are collecting the Internet traffic signature on OpenFlow to use as backgroutnd traffic. By using the real background traffic, we are investigating the effectiveness of theoretical DDoS attack detection techniques on GENI. We are also trying to evaluate our proposed equation of necessary traffic for DDoS attack. Part two focuses on analyzing DoS attacks that exploit WiMAX system parameter settings. We concentrate on parameters concerning bandwidth contention resolution in IEEE 802.16 standards. We use analysis of variance (ANOVA) to find how parameter settings affect the ability of DoS attackers to monopolize network bandwidth. We are carrying out a DoS attack against WiMAX on GENI ORBIT and collecting the data used for ANOVA.


Evaluating Schemes for Adapting to Cloud Dynamics using GENI

Ashiwan Sivakumar, Purdue University
Shankaranarayanan PN, Purdue University
Mohammad Hajjat, Purdue University
Dr. Sanjay Rao, Purdue University

Abstract

Enterprises are increasingly deploying their applications in the cloud given the cost-saving advantages, and the potential to geo-distribute applications to ensure resilience and better service experience. Latency and availability are critical with such performance sensitive applications. A key problem then is to meet the stringent response time requirements of enterprise applications in the cloud. We build a system that we term Dealer which for each component, dynamically splits transactions among its replicas in different data-centers. It adapts to sudden changes in delay across components and routes requests to replicas of the components in a different data-center. In doing so, Dealer seeks to minimize user response times, and takes component performance, as well as intra-data- center and inter-data-center communication latencies into account. We have integrated the system with a performance sensitive trading application called Daytrader in GENI.
Our approach to evaluate the system makes use of the controlled and repeatable environment provided by GENI. The experiments that we have conducted on GENI aim at emulating sudden spikes in delay between components. We have studied the dynamic response time of Dealer by subjecting it to a Step Up input reference waveform. We have also compared the user response times in a Multi cloud environment on ProtoGENI with and without dealer. We present the results of the evaluation experiments conducted on GENI.

Abstract

An essential issue in the future Internet is how to efficiently manage the network and computational resources shared by a variety of application services with different QoS requirements over multiple diverse infrastructural networks. Network virtualization is a promising approach but further studies to develop an effective and practical architecture are required. Our poster presents an outline of a proposed architecture aiming to efficiently accommodate heterogeneous and numerous virtual network application service providers assuming the use of OpenFlow-based technology. In particular, the architecture focuses on the following features: (1) OpenFlow network virtualization in a large-scale testbed environment, (2) management of resources by a meta-resource provider to accommodate diverse QoS requirements and dynamic resource status over infrastructural network domains, and (3) distributed information management of network and computational resources based on perfSONAR technology.

Infinity: In-Network Storage for Mobile Devices

Yudong Gao, University of Michigan

Abstract

Data accessed on the mobile devices is exploding, but current mobile applications do a poor job in conserving energy while ensuring good performance, to satisfy the rapid increase in the frequency and volume of data access. The cloud services accessed by these applications consider neither the role of mobile operator’s network nor the mobile device state, leading to poor application performance and wastage of network resources. Today’s mobile operator (MO)’s networks are no longer “dumb pipes” but are connected to data centers with large amount of resources. We argue that this disruptive change makes MO’s network increasingly resemble a cloud computing infrastructure. We propose a storage platform called Infinity that can be used by service providers to effectively exploit the mobile operator’s network, while saving energy on the mobile devices.

OpenFlow Campus Trial at Clemson: An OpenFlow Service for Seamless Enhancement of Data Transport Throughput (OFCLEM)

Aaron Rosen, Clemson University
Kuang-Ching Wang, Clemson University
Jim Pepin, Clemson University
Daniel Schmiedt, Clemson University

Abstract

In a software defined network, packet forwarding methods can be changed on the fly to suit the needs of different traffic types. Not only can such a network redirect traffic's path, but it can also inject software agents in the forwarding path to provide additional services. At Clemson, we developed a solution to seamlessly enhance end-to-end data transport throughput across wide area networks. By decoupling end user and the core network's choice of transport protocols, the network provider can seamlessly enhance end users' experienced performance without requiring them to upgrade to unfamiliar new transport protocols.

Socially Aware Single System Image

Prof. Chunming Qiao (PI), SUNY Buffalo
Lokesh Mandvekar, SUNY Buffalo

Abstract

A single system image (SSI) is the property of a system that hides the heterogeneous and distributed nature of the available resources and presents them to users and applications as a single unified computing resource. The current GENI infrastructure allows users to select and configure resources at geographically dispersed deployments and thus create their own “slice”. Our proposed experiment will allow a user to augment his resources into a single unified system by leasing/sharing resources with his friends/social contacts (along the lines of a social networking model). An SSI will thus be different from a GENI end-to-end slice in that the SSI effectively appears as a single system to the user and not as a heterogeneous end-to-end connected set of resources. An SSI cluster provides the following benefits:

  1. single entry point
  2. single user interface
  3. single process space
  4. single memory space
  5. single i/o space
  6. single file hierarchy
  7. single job management system
  8. single control point and management

The other most important benefit of using an SSI is security and data privacy. By forming an SSI with trusted resources an user can get the computing power needed to run his/her application without the fear of the application being compromised by using a third party service.
