Discussion Topics and Notes

  • Perfsonar and SRX firewalls** Recommended placement: inside and outside network; AL2S network.
    • Bandwidth test: sets up blocks; shuffles bits on memory to NIC; there is no hard drive; almost line rate. Can overrun buffers on routers/firewall.
    • Check out perfclub.org. Group open to all.
    • New patches/upgrades coming for perfsonar.
    • Recommended boxes for using perfsonar: qbox, nerada, udroids, beagle.
    • Uses of perfsonar:
      • Before/after snapshots of performance
      • Data can be used by researchers
      • Jason and Ely working on workshop to help users understand perfsonar. Feel free to provide feedback. Contact Celeste.
    • Web10g coming. People need to comment.
    • Lots of Asia pacific members use perfsonar.
      • They do not know the community function and they have it closed. Celeste can hook you up.
      • They create tools that allow cool stuff. Example: create network map from perfsonar connections.
        **LSU using v6sonar used for a sensor network for testing ipv4/ipv6 performance.
  • Creating a telepresence friendly campus.
    • Use an SBC
      • Application based firewall for video and voice
      • It will help identify packet loss.
      • Only telepresence sent through it.
      • Recommend using SIP line from provider and a vlan on the internet as backup.
    • Check out bluejeans from NET+.
    • Examples from campuses:
      • Set QoS and do not place behind campus FW.
      • Allow 1723 in from anywhere so people can dial in/out.
      • Cisco VCS express: inside and outside firewall only applies to tanderg (only video not voice).
  • IPv6 measurement sharing
    • Deepfield project to replace portal.internet2.edu.
    • I2 issues with measurement:
      • v6 flows are behind - have to mirror traffic, juniper gear having issues (netflow v9 not available with certain hardware).
      • Atlas project may have some statistics that you can reference.
    • Farmer offers to community colleges the following option:
      • v6 free and v4 has a cost. Ipv6 adoption great!
      • Keeps costs down because he peer with HE for free.
      • Similar model Chinese colleges follow.
    • Security:
      • Tools not keeping up.
      • Traffic is there whether you deploy or not.
    • Issues:
      • Monitor both: v4 and v6 to find problems.
      • Recommend nagios/mrtg/cacti.
      • Monitor health of session for bgp.
      • Peering issues still exist.
  • Multicast: test sources, future of ipv4 multicast
    • Negative:
      • Pacific wave: multicast not allowed; only p2p; little requests for ipv6 multicast.
      • Most campuses do not worry about it.
    • Positive:
      • Replication of wireless config with ipv4 multicast; next version may work for ipv6. (Cisco controller)
      • People using it, NOC getting more complaints on ipv4 multicast more in one month than in the last 1.5 years.
      • Netcast for on campus only. They would like digital signage.
      • Voip phones have a paging service over multicast.
    • Issues:
      • iptv with multicast: leaves are an issue; continues streaming and consuming bandwidth.
      • Cisco 3750 with ttl 0 problems arise from flooding.
    • Private industry out pacing us. Example: multicast LTE; financial center. Education missing content to offer.
  • Engaging with researchers
      **
      **
      • Begin discussions with researchers. Invite them to technical meetings.
      • HPC tends to lead it. Hard part is people leave by the time the grant comes along. Always find a representative. People interested by what they will do is different.
      • Recommend nanog/geni/I2 provide research forum. Researchers need feedback. Allow publications.
      • Research issues topic of interest: interdomain routing for openflow.
    • Long Range Ethernet alternatives
      **
      **
      • phybridge: does poe and Ethernet. Cas provided an example: ip phones work just fine.
      • 2900 module for 4g celular: instead of using as a backup, use as main connection. Check for data plan; they may be cheaper than renting dark fiber.
      • Consider bidirectional transceivers: 10,20, 30 km flavors. 1gig only. (Allied Teleson makes them.)
    • Replacement of cacti graphs for a dynamic solution **
      **
    • Backbone upgrade plans (e.g. speeds, multi-vendor) **
      **
    • Data Center Interconnects (e.g. HA, L2 or L3)
      **
      **
    • Future venue for Netgurus
