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.

Applying a Distributed Security Sensor Network to GENI (HiveMind)

Abstract

Securing GENI is a challenging task. Its highly distributed and autonomous infrastructure and a requirement that security monitoring and response must notadversely affect networking experiments running on GENI slices both define the problem and limit solutions. Three primary challenges must be managed. First,because the GENI infrastructure is provided by many independent Aggregators,security policy can vary widely; each Aggregator is free to determine what activity is allowed and how violations will be handled. As a result, no standardsecurity policy can be enforced across an entire distributed GENI slice. Second,because of its distributed infrastructure, a centralized IDS is not feasible.Ultimately, monitoring must be done locally, in each Aggregator and on each node -- no central point for monitoring network traffic exists, and in addition to local policy issues, the bandwidth required to forward all collected network and host data to a central point would be excessive and affects the third issue, harming GENI experiments. Security monitoring solutions that use significantamounts of network or host resources may disrupt GENI networking experiments, particularly those with strict timing requirements. This is a problemwith both network and host based monitoring, particularly if the monitored devices are resource constrained such as cyber-physical devices or when highlyvirtualized. Traditional IDS methods relying on continuous full monitoring of all hosts and network activity are not suitable.Our project -- the Hive Mind -- investigates a biologically-inspired, scalable, lightweight, decentralized security event monitoring alternative to "running all sensors, at all times, on all nodes."Instead, using behavior of social insects such as ants, bees and wasps, and higher animals such as crows and wolves, we relyon emergent behavior to determine which sensors to run when and where. Virtual creatures move across the mesh of nodes initiating sensor functions andcommunicating between each other. This dynamically and without external direction, focuses monitoring to areas of immediate interest while minimizingresource overhead. Additionally, by providing directed, limited cross-node communication of security relevant events, we can achieve the equivalent ofcentralized monitoring, without the degradation of resources available to experiments. For example, detecting attacks launched from GENI experiments are a specificconcern of the GENI Project Office. Because these may be distributed attacks,not detectible from a single host or Aggregator, they pose a significant challenge. One such attack would be a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS)launched from a large GENI experiment against an Internet host. The activity ofindividual nodes, in isolation would not be suspicious. Only in aggregate, seenacross the nodes in the experiment, can the activity be considered an attack.Other attacks, such as those directed to a single node, are detected locally, butthe suspicious activity is communicated to neighboring nodes to quickly informothers of the problem so that they may determine if they also were targeted.This poster provides an overview of our research and implementation of thismodel for security event monitoring for GENI.

DCN Deployment on JGN-X and Collaboration with Network Virtualization Projects

Hideki Otsuki, NICT

Abstract

We introduce our Dynamic Circuit Network deployment on our new JGN-X testbed. Previously,we were deployed DCN-SS and EX4200 are used for DCN-switch. These switches are located at Ingress and Egress point. In JGN-X, MX-80 is introduced as core routers and DCN network will created on a virtual router on MX-80. DCN is possible to deploy more widely in Japan. And we will continue to collaborate with CoreLab project. PLC of CoreLab will make request VLAN path among slices to DCN via DCN-API.


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

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.

GENI Monitoring Slice: Enabling Network Visibility in the GENI OpenFlow Core Network (LAMP)

Ali Sydney, Raytheon BBN Technologies

Abstract

One fundamental requirement of any research or production network architecture is visibility: the ability to observe the performance of a network over time. This fact becomes even more evident when abnormalities in a network become prevalent. These can include classic broadcast storms from an operator's perspective or irresponsiveness of nodes within a slice from an experimenter's point of view. To date, a plethora of network tools including iperf, nuttcap, ping, Ganglia, and Nagios are available to provide much needed insights into a network's performance. However, these tools are tailored for "barebone" network components. In GENI, users are provided "slices" which will contain some subset of virtualized, programmable computing resources. For this reason, there exist an emerging class of "visibility" tools dedicated towards monitoring, within a slice context. Among other tools, we use LAMP, adapted from perfSONAR, to manage and visualize I&M services and data. In particular, we create a reference slice which spans the GENI OpenFlow backbone to provide experimenters a somewhat "ideal" view of the network's health. Among other uses, we envision that in such cases as network connectivity irregularities within a user's slice, they can quickly refer to the reference slice as a troubleshooting guide.

Abstract

We present KanseiGenie, a framework for federated, autonomous wireless sensor network experimental infrastructures. KanseiGenie infrastructures provide GENI-compliant interfaces and embodies various capabilities such as programmability, virtualization, and slice-based experimentation.

Currenly KanseiGenie consortium includes four spatially distributed infrastructures: Kansei and Peoplenet at The Ohio State University, NetEye at Wayne State Univeristy, OKGerms at Oklahoma State University. As a first step towards experiment predictability and repeatability, KanseiGenie develops LENS (Language for Embedded Networked Sensing) that defines the RSpec for wireless sensor networks. LENS has been integrated with the KanseiGenie/ORCA control framework, and it has been used for federated resource management. KanseiGenie implements the embedding service for resource scheduling among federated infrastructures (e.g. intelligent control on average wireless path loss). KanseiGenie also provides users with a unified experiment control web-portal. KanseiGenie Doctor provides real-time information about the health status of the infrastructures.

We will present a live demo of KanseiGenie via a laptop, assuming there is Internet connection at the poster site.

GridStat on GENI : Simulating a Smart Power Grid Infrastructure over GENI (PlanetLab)

Divya Giri, Washington State University
Ruma Rani Paul, Washington State University

Abstract

Developments in power grid measurement and monitoring technology have enabled precise and frequent measurement of the state of the power grid. Modern power grid control infrastructure are insufficient to the effective forwarding of this information to the necessary control facilities. The GridStat framework offers an efficient, low-latency data forwarding framework that can provide the necessary Quality of Service for control facilities to maintain sub-second status of monitored power grid substations. However, the current GridStat prototypes have not been tested outside local clusters. The GENI infrastructure provide the platform through which it is possible to test GridStat at scale and identify problems with the current framework.

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.

Abstract

The MAX project has constructed the "Mid-Atlantic Crossroads GENI (MAX GENI) Facility" which enables the MAX Regional Network resources to be made available for GENI experiments. This includes development of a MAX Aggregate Manager which integrates the dynamic provision of network and host based resources. The host based resources include PlanetLab node virtual slices. MAX Network Stitching capabilities allow the host resources to be stitched together with Ethernet VLANs. The MAX AM is also federated with PlanetLab Princeton and ProtoGENI. In addition, a separate instance of a MAX Aggregate Manager has been deployed to "cover" the Internet2 ION Network.This combination of these capabilities now allows us to provide multi-aggregate sliver creation and stitching operations in response to Experimenters requests.

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.

Network Virtualization Research In Japan

Aki Nakao, University of Tokyo / University of Utah / NICT

Abstract

We have been conducting research on network virtualization infrastructure and its applications. In our attempt to pursuing building the infrastructure that may slice the network, storage and computational resources and provides network designers with systematic interfaces to reserve a slice of resources and constructing arbitrary networks on top of it, we have developed three different types of testbeds, CoreLab, VNode and WiVi. CoreLab is a software-based testbed constructed on top of COTS x86 hardware only, while VNode involves designing a new hardware based on production routers. WiVi is a recently developed WiFi virtualized testbed that may be connected with CoreLab and enable wired-wireless converged network slices. we introduce our definition of network virtualization and its applications in the context of network testbeds as wells as network architectures. We especially elaborate the detail design and implementation of our network virtualized testbeds, CoreLab, VNode, and WiVi. We also demonstrate Cache Oriented Network Architecture and OpenFlow in A Slice (OFIAS) using these infrastructures.

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.

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.

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.

The Performance Evaluation of Bandwidth Allocation Algorithms in Multi-domain Networks

Jiten Patel, Rochester Institute of Technology
Kaiqi Xiong, Rochester Institute of Technology

Abstract

This project is concerned with dynamic bandwidth allocation in multi-domain networks. We have been designing and developing the algorithms to minimize the total cost of network bandwidth when satisfying the requirements of Quality of Service (QoS) predefined in the Service Level Agreement (SLA). An SLA is a contract negotiated between a network service provider and customers. The goal of this research is to evaluate the performance of these bandwidth allocation algorithms by a use of the GENI infrastructure. We have conducted experiments for the validation of percentile delay calculations as well as the evaluation of Additive Increase/Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD)-based bandwidth allocation algorithms. Furthermore, by using the research experiments of this project, we have designed GENI educational experiments that have been used in networking courses at RIT.

TUNIE: A Flexible and Programmable Virtualized Network Innovation Environment in China

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.

Wide-area programmable network: Operation And Management of a nation wide Openflow-Based Network in Japan

Shuji Ishii, NICT

Abstract

The focus of this study is on developing a management technology of global OpenFlow-based networks integrated into the existing VLAN-based networks. We deployed a nation-wide OpenFlow-based network on the NICT JGN-X testbed in Japan. And we demonstrated a trial high-quality realtime video streaming application to verify the performance and reliability of large-scale OpenFlow-based networks. We also describe the details of technical issues confronted in the trial operation.
