Infrastructure and Measurement

Measurements of Netmap-Based Data Plane Acceleration on xDPd

The poster will illustrate and report our current measurement results in characterizing the performance improvements achieved through netmap integration with xDPd. xDPd is an open source, modular software switch project: https://www.codebasin.net/redmine/projects/xdpd/wiki. We recently started to collaborate with the FIRE team in Berlin, BISDN, on data plane acceleration for xDPd through netmap integration. Our measurements are in progress as xDPd also evolves. We also would like to receive GENI community feedback on such measurement challenges. Poster is attached here.

Participants:

Integrating Dell SDP on GENI

The poster will present the state of the integration on GENI, our ideas and considerations on an aggregate manager for the Split Data Plane (SDP) switches on GENI. Dell has decided to donate ~10 SDP switches on GENI. UH is placing them on GENI rack locations, both ExoGENI and InstaGENI. The SDP switches should be considered GENI resources. However, there are challenges in sharing such a resource for simultaneous experimentation. We would like to present such considerations and receive discussions and feedback from GENI community.

Experiments and Education

Teaching & Tmix

Stop by this dual demo if you are: (a) an educator who teaches undergraduate networking courses, and are interested in using our education modules -- ready to use in your class, complete with slides! These consist of concept demonstration modules as well as student assignment modules, and/or (b) an experimenter who would like to generate realistic traffic in your experiments using our Tmix traffic generation system.

Participants:

Simulation, Detection, and Denial of ping Attack

The demo topology consist of 4 nodes which includes two hosts, Host1 and Host2, one OpenvSwitch (OVS) node and one Floodlight Controller. The hosts are connected to the OVS and OVS is connected to the Floodlight controller. Host1 will perform ping attack to Host2. Host2 will continuously measure the number of pings received from Host1 and detect the ping attack when the frequency and number of pings exceed a threshold. The detection will trigger re-programming of the network through OVS to deny the pinging connection. All ping attack detection should be monitored using LabWiki and the re-programming of the network is through the GIMI framework.

GENI MOOC

We will demo an experiment-based Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the subject of computer networks, with lab experiments that run on GENI resources. This course is aimed at beginners who want to learn about how the Internet works, students who want an introduction to some research topics in networking, and instructors who may use these browser-based experiments as in-class demonstrations or homework assignments. The course will be open to the public and is scheduled to run in early fall or late summer; interested participants should stop by to see the demo and learn how to register. We will also show a poster on our WiMAX-based lab experiments, which may be of interest to instructors.

Poster is attached here.

The MOOC is currently open for registration at http://hyperion.poly.edu

Participants:

Reliable Communications Protocol for Advanced Manufacturing

We will use Software Defined Networking (SDN) to deploy a protocol that can create and actively manage redundant paths between communicating devices and that will proactively build new paths before network congestion and faults degrade application performance. With replication of data packets and monitoring of multiple path performance, Internet communication will move beyond “best effort” packet forwarding of TCP/IP to reliable packet delivery. Thus, the Reliable Communication Protocol (RCP) project will create a fundamentally new Internet capability.

Combining redundant paths with gigabit broadband will create an ideal platform on which to build any number of time- and reliability-sensitive applications for which today’s Internet is insufficient or incapable. While our initial application focus is to support advanced manufacturing processes, there is clear potential to support applications in many other areas.

Application Aware Big Data

Demo description paragraph (three sentence minimum): We demonstrate an application aware big data experiment across multi-domain, optical-wireline-wireless heterogeneous network so that the nature of the Big Data applications should utilize the best resources. A broker-based multi-domain OpenFlow control framework is designed to intelligently control the heterogeneous network. Two 4K cameras and three 4K monitors are deployed to generate the big data applications (over 10Gb/s), which are flexibly routed by controlling the optical switches. Network providers and service providers that support OpenFlow should see this demonstration because it will let them manage multi-domain heterogeneous networks efficiently.

Participants:

GENI-VIRO

We will provide demo to illustrate the current progress of our GENI-VIRO implementation progress using the GENI testbed. We will be using the OVS and SDN platform running on virtual machines running GENI nodes in one or multiple sites to run our current GENI-VIRO code. We will show set up a simple topology with a few VIRO switches, and how packets are routed from a virtual host to a VIRO switch to another virtual host attached to another VIRO switch using the VIRO routing protocol based on Virtual Routing Id (implemented by re-using MAC addresses in layer 2).

Participants:

Chandelle

In this demo we present Chandelle system that shows the benefits of having WLAN networks on tops of SDN infrastructure: faster and seamless migration procedure and cost reduction of wireless access point. This demo also discusses the principles of interaction of the wireless controller and the SDN controller and methods to avoid excessive overhead for the user traffic.

Participants:

Network Prototype Simulator

Network Prototyping Simulator is a simulation system that expands Mininet network emulator to computer cluster. That allow us to reproduce the network with such an amount of nodes that hardly was possible before. The maximum size of network topology in NPS depends on number of cluster nodes with Mininet instances. One cluster node can emulate more than thousand hosts, and an modern server could execute at least 15 cluster nodes packed in virtual machines. As the result, we get about 15 thousands hosts per server. The scalability of NPS makes it possible to emulate really big networks.

By the architecture, NPS saves features of Mininet, so it does not become a clear simulation system, it remains a network prototyping system. Means one could trust the results of such simulation and there is no need to prove correctness and adequacy of the model built.

Participants:

ARCCN VERMONT

One of the aims of network engineering is to configure forwarding rules of the switches as to guarantee network compliance with the Packet Forwarding Policies (PFP). VERMONT is a software toolset that provides some automation to the solution of this task by checking consistency of OpenFlow rule tables with formally specified invariants of PFP.

VERMONT can be installed in line with the control plane to observe state changes of a network by intercepting messages sent by switches to the controller and commands sent by the controller to switches. It builds an adequate formal model of a whole network and checks every event, such as installation, deletion, or modification of rules, port and switch up and down events, against the requirements of PFP. Before a network update command is sent to a switch VERMONT checks in advance the result of its execution. If a new state of network satisfies all requirements of PFP then the command is delivered to the corresponding switch. Upon detecting a violation of PFP VERMONT blocks the update command, alerts a network administrator, and gives some additional information to discover a possible source of an error.

VERMONT has a wide area of applications. It can be attached to a SDN controller (or a bunch of controllers) to enforce basic safety properties (the absence of loops, blackholes, etc) of the subordinate flow-tables in data plane. VERMONT may be also used as a fully automatic safeguard (and, in a sense, a debugger) for any software application implementing certain PFP on a SDN controller. This properties make VERMONT a desired tool for network administrators and control application developers.

Demorpheus

In this presentation we propose an approach and hybrid shellcode detection method, aimed at early detection and filtering of unknown 0-days exploits at the network level. The proposed approach allows us to summarize capabilities of shellcode detection algorithms developed over the last ten years into an optimal classifier. The proposed approach allows us to reduce total false-positives rate to almost zero, provides full coverage of shellcode classes detected by individual classifiers, and significantly increases total throughput of detectors. Evaluation with shellcode datasets, including Metasploit Framework plain-text, encrypted and obfuscated shellcodes, benign Windows and Linux binaries, random (normal) data and multimedia shows that hybrid data-flow classifier significantly boosts analysis throughput for benign data - up to 45 times faster than linear combination of classifiers, and almost 1.5 times faster for shellcode datasets. We also give a tool demonstration.

Participants:

Simplifying Enterprise Network

We present a new SDN/OpenFlow-based network management system for Enterprise networks called EasyWay. It demonstrates novel approach where network administrators no longer need to manually congure all network devices, they can simple "draw" a path between network elements and the system will automatically program the network elements. The demonstration shows possibility to manage the complex network from nice graphical interface without manual accessing to network elements.

Participants:

NFV

The NFV platform is designed to deploy high-performance virtual network services (VNF) on commodity servers and automatic centralized VNFs orchestration.

The main parts of the NFV platform:

  • High performance data path inside commodity servers.
  • Centralized management system orchestrating virtual services (VNFs) across the servers.
  • The pool of VNFs.

Participants:

QoS Using SDN

We intend to demonstrate the power/necessity of QoS in our video streaming architecture. The required QoS can be enforced with the aid of SDN and openflow switches in a efficient manner. Our demonstration will consist of a video stream from a source such as a camera in a lecture room. This video stream will duplicated into two streams, both of which follow identical paths along the network along with the presence of various other traffic present. On one path, QoS will be deployed whereas on another path, the default service will be maintained and the difference will be observed!

Participants:

Video Streaming over ProtoRINA

We leverage ProtoRINA, a prototype of our recursive network architecture, to support a video streaming application. In this demonstration, all traffic between a video streaming server and a video player client, both running on legacy hosts, is redirected by RINA proxies to a RINA network, i.e., a Distributed IPC Facility (DIF). We show superior video quality due to dynamic path adaptation inside the DIF in response to node/link failure.

GENI Desktop

GENI Desktop provides a unified interface and environment for experimenters to create, control, manage, interact with and measure the performance of GENI slices. This demo will show the newly implemented functions in the GENI Desktop. We enhanced the GENI Desktop to use the Common Federation Service API V2 to provide stitcher support for slices using RSPECs that need layer-2 connections. We also developed a slice membership function that allows users to be added as a member of a slice after the slice/slivers have been created, enabling new users join and access slice resources. We also have new GENI Desktop functionality to provide a routing support function, and a module for handling netflow data. In addition, we will demo the function implemented in the Adopt-A-GENI project for providing support to user-defined SDN routes through the AAG controller. This demo is suitable to GENI experimenters (beginners and experienced) who want to learn how to manage/control their experiments and interact with GENI resources. It may be also interesting to GENI tool developers who want to see how GENI Desktop interacts with other tools such as the GENI portal and Flack.

Virtual Computer Networking Lab

In this demo we will highlight some of the classroom assignment we have created within the scope of our GENI Education Project "Virtual Computer Networking Lab (VCNL)". We will demonstrates two assignments that were used in the "Computer Networks and the Internet" course taught in the ECE department at UMass Amherst this spring. We will also present two additional assignments that will be made available for classes being taught this coming fall. VCNL makes use of the GIMI tools and LabWiki is used by the students to carry out the assignments. It is designed such that assignments can be carried out on both the ExoGENI and the InstaGENI testbed.

End-to-End Flow Manipulations

Demonstrate how end-to-end flow manipulations can be performed on programmable OpenFlow-based switches. The purpose is to create a framework for network engineers to utilize as a network troubleshooting/debugging tool. Network debugger uses flow separation at aggregation points to increase granularity in monitoring by using end point analysis tools as debugging points. We will create an environment on GENI to show the framework and its proof-of-concept viability as a network troubleshooting tool. Poster is attached here.

Measurements of Forwarding Performance of the LINCx Switch

This project mainly focuses on the performance measurement of the LINCx software switch ( https://github.com/FlowForwarding/lincx) as well as investigations for performance improvements in the forwarding systems. LINCx switch has its flow table hardcoded instead of using ETS table as seen in regular LINC switch. Its flow table code is automatically generated based on the flow instruction message from controller, and recompiled as a module to keep the switch operating without interrupting. This demo will measure the forwarding performance of LINCx after recompilation with different sets of flows. Poster is attached here.

Wireless Projects

WiMAX Connectivity and Monitoring

This demo is an ongoing project to GENI enable an ecological science community utilizing the GENI WiMAX facility. Recent additions consist of IP-Passthrough enabled client devices with an integrated Openflow switch and connections to the GENI rack at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Participants:

MobilityFirst

Mobilityfirst supports flexible extensibility of data-plane services through a pluggable compute-plane that can optionally and strategically be enabled at chosen points in the network. Service providers can use this to provide value-added services such as caching, security, and offloading options to enhance end-user experience. It can also enable an in-network platform (PaaS-like) for third-party web/consumer application providers to host their servers closer to the their clients. In this demo, we will show how a content delivery service can leverage this compute-layer function to introduce smart in-network modules that can either modify end-to-end streams or respond to requests locally reducing load on origin servers. The demo will utilize host and network resources on GENI (Rack nodes, I2 supported multi-site VLAN using AL2S, etc) as well as wireless edge deployments over WiMAX and WiFi. Participants:

Vehicular Sensing and Control

We will demonstrate Vehicular Sensing and Control (VSC) platform that we designed for researchers and experimenters to support idea/protocol experimentation and emulation in a real world. Specifically, by leveraging the GENI resources,(i.e. GENI WiMAX network, ExoGENI racks, VLAN connection as well as relevant experimenter tools), this platform enables the researchers and experimenters to use OpenXC sensing and camera-based sensing data such as vehicle location, vehicle speed, pedal position, traffic states surrounding the vehicle as input for the experimentation and emulation. It could be very helpful to reason about the protocol design. In this demo, we will highlight the latest mechanisms developed for VSC application-layer emulation and extensive experimental results that we collect using the VSC platform. The audience with the interests of vehicular network should stop by and see this demo given the capability of the VSC platform.

SciWiNet

The objective of SciWiNet is to help the academic research community deal with the wireless infrastructure requirements. SciWiNet is based on an Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) model. An MVNO is an entity that re-sells cellular services from a wireless network operator. Typically MVNOs cater to focused user communities. For example VirginMobile and Straight Talk cater to customers that require single devices with low service rates. Other MVNOs support vertical or focused markets such as Kajeet (education). This article provides further background on MVNOs. Currently, SciWiNet resells Sprint's 3G/4G data services. This includes Sprint's WiMAX and LTE services (including Sprint's current LTE brand referred to as Spark).
