11:30 AM - 11:45 AM IPv6 Deployment Experiences

   Ron Broersma , Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN)  [htm]  [ppt]

DREN and its community of DoD research organizations have been deploying IPv6 in its testbed and production networks for a number of years. There have been many challenges and lessons learned from these efforts. Lack of parity with IPv4 along with scarcity of IPv6-enabled security components has hampered deployment. Recent events and upcoming deadlines are resulting in a resurgence of interest in IPv6 deployment, and we are about to see increased activity in this area. This presentation will provide an update on these activities, challenges, lessons, and trends.

2:00 PM - 2:20 PM The Gathering Storm: The Coming Internet Crisis

   Kevin Oberman , Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)  [htm]  [ppt]

A confluence of network events seems likely to require a major change in the Internet. The end of IPv4 address space has been announced. IPv6 uptake is "limited". Hardware is often pressed with the size of both the RIB and FIB. There is no clear path to IPv6 without a major increase in table size. Are we doomed?

Keoni 
2:20 PM - 2:40 PM Forcing the Issue: A Campus's (Ongoing) Experience in IPv6 Deployment

   Michael Sinatra , University of California, Berkeley  [pdf]

With the recent resolutions by ICANN, ARIN, and other RIRs regarding the need to migrate to IPv6, UC Berkeley decided to proceed more aggressively in rolling out IPv6 on campus. For the past few years, IPv6 at UCB had been an experimental project on a very small number of networks. The new project aims to slowly and methodically roll out IPv6 basically everywhere on campus. Part of the purpose of the project is not merely to have IPv6 functionality around campus, but to work through the process and see what breaks and what can and cannot support IPv6. This is where the notion of "forcing the issue" comes in. In the presentation I give an update on the early stages of this project and what we have learned so far. I'll discuss upcoming deployment tasks (and challenges) and give an overall impression of the process, which I hope will be "cautiously upbeat, as long as expectations are properly managed."

Keoni

8:25 AM - 8:45 AM Hybrid Network Architectures: A Forward-Looking Vision

   Tom Lehman , University of Southern California  [htm]  [ppt]

This talk presents the status of an effort to define a generic control plane architecture for Multi-Layer Hybrid Networks. This includes specification of the key properties of the topology definition and exchange, multi-domain path computation, and signaling. ESNet SDN (Science Data Network) and Internet2 DCN (Dynamic Circuit Network) are reviewed as two early instantiations of this architecture. Plans for advanced scheduling, incorporation of WDM layer into the dynamic provisioning, network "virtualization," and use of OPNET modeling and/or simulation to assist with detailed design and performance modeling are also presented. This work is part of the DOE Office of Science-funded "Hybrid Multi-Layer Network Control for Emerging Cyber-Infrastructure" project.

Keoni 
8:45 AM - 9:05 AM Cwave Overview

   Kevin McGrattan , Cisco Systems  [pdf]

Over the past several years multiple high-performance R&E networks have been funded and deployed. These include both facilities-based networks and networks built on leased provider services. These networks have presented opportunities to explore new areas of networking and applications research. One of the ongoing challenges, however, is how to connect researchers to these resources in a reasonable and flexible manner based on industry-researcher partnerships. This talk describes one such network that meets these requirements, Cwave.

Cwave is a set of network facilities including 10GE waves and GE layer-2 connections provided by Cisco to the sponsored R&E projects. Cisco's primary partner in this program is National LambdaRail, which provides the waves for the Cwave core. Our other partners, who provide access waves, colocation facilities, and technical assistance, currently include CENIC, PNWGP, CalIT2, iCAIR, EVL, and StarLight. We seek to extend such partnerships with other R&E facility operators as we expand this program.

The salient feature is a flexible overlay switched network. Cwave is informal, adaptable, agile, and opportunistic. The primary goal of this facility is to provide researchers with advanced network resources unencumbered by high cost and administrative overhead. The presentation describes this network, available services, operational limitations, usage policy, and the philosophy behind these decisions.

Keoni 
9:05 AM - 9:25 AM Flow-Based End-to-End QoS Paths through Modern Hybrid WANs

   Dimitrios Katramatos , Brookhaven National Laboratory  [htm]  [ppt]

Bringing QoS guarantees to the level of individual data flows through network routes spanning multiple, disparate administrative domains is a highly complex problem due to the diversity of administrative policies governing these domains, the heterogeneity of control and data plane technologies, scalability issues, etc. The TeraPaths project combines end-site LAN DiffServ QoS and Policy Based Routing with WAN-provided MPLS tunnels and dynamic circuits within a web services framework to stitch together QoS-aware virtual network paths between actual end hosts, and to selectively route and regulate authorized traffic through them.

Keoni 
9:25 AM - 9:45 AM Lambda Station Network Path Selection Service

   Andrey Bobyshev , Fermi National Accelerator Lab  [htm]  [ppt]
   Matt Crawford , Fermi National Accelerator Lab  [htm]  [ppt]
   Phil DeMar , Fermi National Accelerator Lab  [htm]  [ppt]

Lambda Station is a network path selection service developed by Fermilab and Caltech. It addresses the last-mile problem of making alternate wide-area network paths selectively available for designated local network resources. Over the course of the past several months, Lambda Station has demonstrated the capability to establish and utilize dynamic wide-area network circuit services, such as Internet2's DCN service and ESnet's OSCARS service. In this talk, we will discuss the current state of development for Lambda Station, our experiences with interfacing it to WAN dynamic circuit services, and future directions, issues, and concerns.

Keoni 
9:45 AM - 10:05 AM The VINCI Dynamic Circuit Services

   Artur Barczyk , California Institute of Technology  [htm]  [ppt]

The VINCI services developed in the MonALISA framework will be deployed on the USLHCNet, and will provide dynamic circuit services for high-performance data transfers in the HEP community. The system is built as a set of distributed agents and services, guaranteeing scalability in a natural way. Data transfers are scheduled based on their class and priority. Pre-emptible transfers will be adjusted in the allocated bandwidth using LCAS, to give high-priority ones the needed resources e.g. in case of a link failure. The system includes an End-Host Agent in order to configure and tune the end-system for high-performance transfer. Pervasive monitoring using the MonALISA system of distributed monitoring agents provides the means for easy problem finding and resolution. For full end-to-end circuit provisioning we are planing to interface to Internet2's DCN and ESnet's OSCARS systems, as well as Lambda Station and TeraPaths.

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Vendor Soup - Anti-Botnet Protection using FireEye Analysis & Control Technology

   Ashar Aziz , FireEye
   Stuart Staniford , FireEye

FireEye will give a demonstration of the FireEye Analysis & Control Technology (FACT) in the act of detecting and delineating botnets as the infections fly past on monitored networks. The FACT engine unifies virtualization and network security to very accurately identify botnet malware that does not belong in the network. The FACT engine identifies suspicious network activities at high speed for further analysis, and then confirms malicious impact. Potentially damaging network traffic is sent into the virtual victim machines to automatically confirm that it results in a real attack, known or unknown. Now, analysis of dynamic botnet malware can be reliably automated to extract C&C locations, capture botnet command structures, and confirm bot propagation attacks. In this presentation, the audience will see exactly how this technology can be put to work on their networks.

2:40 PM - 3:00 PM High Performance Bulk Data Transfers Using the SSH Protocol

   Ben Bennett , Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center  [htm]  [ppt]
   Chris Rapier , Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center  [htm]  [ppt]

SSH is a widely used multipurpose application used for both interactive shells and a transport layer mechanism. However, its usefulness as a bulk data transport tool is limited by two factors: an undersized applications layer receive window and an inability to make use of multicore processors. While the receive window issue has been addressed by HPN-SSH (August 2005 Joint Techs) the widespread adoption of multicore architectures has created a situation in which the application is limited to a fraction of the available compute resources available to it. This necessarily limits throughput and leads to inefficient utilization of network capacity. The authors will discuss the impact of these factors on performance, present a solution in the form of Threaded HPN-SSH, discuss its applicability for use in HPN environments, and outline future work on developing SSH as a high performance middleware transport mechanism.

3:50 PM - 4:10 PM Uncovering Botnets with Lit IP Space Analysis

   Ashar Aziz , FireEye
   Stuart Staniford , FireEye  [htm]  [ppt]

Keeping pace with today's sophisticated botnets is no easy task. The Storm worm P2P botnet did not aggressively scan for new bot victims and over 65% of bot malware is transmitted via the Web. Traditional techniques like darkspace honeypots, IPS signatures, and spam analysis are no longer effective to pinpoint bots, which evade these mechanisms such as by hiding in Web traffic. Security analysis of active IP traffic (as opposed to sitting on dark IP space) enables botnet detection and tracking in real-time.

This session will cover a new security analysis technique utilizing instrumented virtual machines that perform "lit IP space" analysis of Web and other network traffic for bots and targeted stealthy malware. For Internet2 organizations, the challenge will be balancing iron-clad security with a highly open and collaborative network. Using lit IP space network analysis and forensics, it is possible to detect the new generation of Web-based malware as well as preserve critical and contextual data surrounding a particular incident. In this presentation, Internet2 IT professionals will hear some experimental results on the scale of the threat to users on open networks, and learn how this new technology can protect against stealthy malware and botnet infiltration.

Internet2 members are involved in several exciting projects related to performance and measurement. This session will provide an update on the progress of:
- perfSONAR, a network monitoring infrastructure that makes it easier to solve end-to-end performance problems on paths crossing several networks; contributors to perfSONAR development include Internet2, GÉANT2, and ESnet members, among others. Demonstrations of perfSONAR included in the presentation illustrate the "service-oriented" aspects of perfSONAR by showing how disjoint services such as Measurement Points (MPs), Measurement Archives (MAs), and the Lookup Service (LS) can interact via two graphical displays (an interactive map of utilization data and a configurable display of network traffic).
- Performance tool development, including updates on OWAMP, Bandwidth Test Controller, Network Diagnostic Tool, and Thrulay, as well as the development of a Knoppix disk with downloads of these and other tools in an easy-to-use format.
- Network Performance Workshops, which have been offered in 19 locations and are scheduled for several more in upcoming months.
- Application-community-specific performance efforts, including a series of workshops with the HENP Large Hadron Collider community, NOAA, and state networks related to meeting measurement and performance needs.

More information on all of these topics can be found at http://e2epi.internet2.edu/.

5:00 PM - 5:20 PM A Look at the Unidentified Half of Netflow

   Joe St Sauver , Internet2 & University of Oregon  [pdf]

Internet2 routinely collects and summarizes netflow data for the Internet2 Network, publishing weekly summaries at http://netflow.internet2.edu/weekly/. While many of the observed flows are successfully identified and classified, roughly half of all traffic is currently unidentified. In this talk we look at that "unidentified half," and attempt to understand and characterize at least some of that traffic.

A Lightning Talk is a very short (no more than 5 minutes) talk on a topic of your choice - anything interesting or timely, or even a bit off the wall. Submissions will be solicited during the workshop. Please send proposals for Lightning Talks to jt-lightning-talks@internet2.edu.

Slides are optional. All slides must be pre-loaded on the podium laptop - you will not be permitted to use your own laptop, as there just won't be time for swapping. Slides must be received by the beginning of the afternoon break on Tuesday.

Remember, the 300-second limit will be strictly enforced! Some tips on how to do a successful Lightning Talk are at http://perl.plover.com/lt/osc2003/lightning-talks.html.
