Always on visibility for all your traffic: In-Band OAM for IPv6 (iOAM6) (Frank Brockners)

Speaker Bio

Session Abstract

Frank Brockners is Distinguished Engineer in the office of the CTO where he drives software and architecture development for software defined devices. Since his days as a researcher, his professional interests center on distributed-systems, the evolution of Ethernet, network policy and identity control, multicast and IPv6. More recently, Frank helped pioneer Cisco’s architectural approach to SDN. Frank holds a diploma degree in Electrical Engineering (Aachen University) and a PhD/Dr degree in Information Science (University of Cologne).

A trip-recorder in your traffic at line rate performance While troubleshooting or planning, did you ever wish to get full insight into which paths *all* your packets take in your network? A new technology “in-band OAM for IPv6 (iOAM6)” is now here to help. iOAM6 adds forwarding path information and other information/stats to every data packet - as opposed to relying on probe packets, which is the traditional method that tools like ping or traceroute use. In-band OAM information can either be accessed directly on the router or be available via Netflow.

Segment Routing in IPv6 Networks (Stefano Previdi)

Speaker Bio

Stefano Previdi is a Distinguished Engineer at Cisco Systems where he contributed to a variety of technologies in the Service Providers space including core technologies such as Routing, IP/MPLS Fast Convergence, IP Fast Reroute, MPLS-based architectures (MPLS-VPN, Traffic Engineering) and Segment Routing from both an architecture and implementation perspective. He’s also playing a major role in the definition and implementation of emerging technologies aiming to leverage network and infrastructure layers information so to introduce infrastructure/ network awareness into application layer components (Network Positioning System). This includes traffic optimization mechanisms (ALTO) used in CDNs, Clouds and peer-to-peer overlays. The emerging of Software Defined Networks brought Previdi into contributing to Cisco SDN architecture and implementation. His focus has been primarily to the definition of a SDN component integrating multi-layer and multi-services capabilities (optical, network and application layers) as well as new mechanisms allowing extraction and distribution of topology and infrastructure information (e.g.: BGP-LS extension). Currently, Previdi is contributing to the Segment Routing architecture and protocol extensions from an implementation and standardization (IETF) perspective. Previdi is an active member of IETF/IRTF and more precisely in IDR, ISIS, OSPF, CDNI, MPLS and Routing Area Working Groups.

Session Abstract

Segment Routing allows a node to steer a packet through a controlled set of instructions, called segments. The instruction associated to a segment can be derived from shortest path routing, explicit/source routing paradigms (with either centralized or distributed path computation), intra or inter domain, network or application layers, virtualization, multicast, Service Chains, etc.   The Segment Routing architecture is data-plane independent (MPLS or IPv6). When used in IPv6 networks, the IPv6 dataplane is leveraged through the use of a new routing header called the Segment Routing Header (SRH) that is currently documented in IETF.   The presentation covers the main aspects, functions and features of the Segment Routing architecture when applied to IPv6 dataplane. It also covers the details of the SR-IPv6 Extension Header that is proposed and finally, gives an overview of existing use cases and interoperable implementations.

SDN Enabled QoS  (Tim Szigeti)

Virtual Networking in IPv6 with Label Isolation   (Fred Baker)

Speaker Bio

Session Abstract

Tim Szigeti, CCIE#9794, is a senior technical marketing engineer in Enterprise Architecture team at Cisco Systems, where his role is to design enterprise QoS architectures and to drive related product and feature developments. He has specialized in Quality of Service technologies for the past fifteen years, during which he has authored technical papers, CVDs/SRND, as well as the Cisco Press Books: End-to-End QoS Network Design (versions 1 and 2) and Cisco TelePresence Fundamentals.

Enabling the right level of application priority on the network is complex and cumbersome– especially when considering multiple types of application behaviors, different types of devices, and multiple insertion points and interaction across Enterprise and Service provider networks. The SDN enabled QoS app takes reduces complexity by providing a simple, but powerful policy based abstraction of QoS management of all application types including voice and video. This session will also cover dynamic QoS management for media rich applications with real-time interaction between APIC-EM and UCM.

Cisco Fellow Fred Baker has been involved in data communications since 1978 and the development of the Internet since the 1980’s. He has been involved in standards development in the IETF, both contributing technically and managing processes. His current interests are in routing, the management of latency and data flow, the universal deployment of IPv6 (especialy in OpenStack data centers), and the public policy implications these issues bring with them.

Fred Baker, Cisco Fellow, will walk through the architectural underpinnings of virtual networking, proposing an approach that avoids over-the-top networks by embedding the virtual network identifier in the IPv6 IID and applying policy. The target is to facilitate two containers or virtual machines in the same chassis, or two such systems running in separate data centers under different administration, or hybrid networks, to express the needed policy simply and in the same way.

BIER - Bit Index Explicit Replication (IJsbrand Wijnands)

Speaker Bio

Session Abstract

IJsbrand Wijnands is a Principal Engineer in the Chief Technology & Architecture Office (CTAO) working on Multicast and MPLS. IJsbrand has been involved in Multicast for about 15 years working on many different aspects of multicast, like PIM, IGMP, MSDP and MVPN. IJsbrand has worked on the integration of Multicast and MPLS. He has implemented mLDP in IOS and IOS-XR and is (co)-author of many IETF drafts related to Multicast, MPLS and mVPN technologies. More recently IJsbrand has been working on a new multicast technology called Stateless Multicast using Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER). He is active on the architecture side, standardisation and implementation.

This session covers a new architecture for the forwarding of multicast data packets. It provides optimal forwarding of multicast packets through a “multicast domain”. However, it does not require any explicit tree-building protocol, nor does it require intermediate nodes to maintain any per-flow state. This architecture is known as “Bit Index Explicit Replication” (BIER). When a multicast data packet enters the domain, the ingress router determines the set of egress routers to which the packet needs to be sent. The ingress router then encapsulates the packet in a BIER header. The BIER header contains a bitstring in which each bit represents exactly one egress router in the domain; to forward the packet to a given set of egress routers, the bits corresponding to those routers are set in the BIER header. Elimination of the per-flow state and the explicit tree-building protocols results in a considerable simplification.

Session Abstract Cisco Network Secure Plug and Play: Reducing time to Deployment.   The Opex burden on network operations are ever increasing as the time to deploy a service decreases due to demand of consumer services. Which leads to large number of devices being provisioned, shipped, installed and maintained, which in turn increases cost. One of the largest gaps is Day 0 simplified provisioning service which remains to be an expensive and manual operation for many. The Cisco Plug and Play solution is primarily geared to close the gap by introducing various automation services, which are prescriptive and very easy to use. The world of Smart Lighting is chaotic with many proprietary standards, unclear protocols and interoperability is an afterthought.  Few people understand the insecurities of networking, and the need for careful Engineering.  All of this along with the Internet of Things, Big Data and the vision of what smart lighting will be in the world of IoT in the next 5 years will be addressed. Demo of LED powered lights capabilities, USB enabled PoE (Talem) for IoT devices and sensors.  Concepts such as pervasive PoE to support IoT enabled by PoE.  Light harvesting demo shows LEDs dimming when there is ambient light from a window taking less energy for customer cost savings.

Ramin L. Mokhtari:  CEO of ICE Gateway GmbH, Berlin Ramin brings more than 30 years of working experience in ICT, LED and renewable energy. He got his Master of Science in Engineering from university of Aachen (RWTH) and started his career as software developer for signal processing simulation tools.  The tool was used to develop digital telephones and got bought by Synopsys Inc., where he could experience working in silicon valley for the first time. Later he moved to IT development center of Deutsche Telekom (DT) and later started the Corporate Venture Capital office of DT in silicon valley, after multiple stations in IT Consulting, IT strategy for telecommunication networks and business development. In this time he invested in many companies such as Webex Inc. and helped them with their growth. Later he moved back to Germany to work at E.ON venture to invest in startups in energy sector, such as Comverge Inc., before he started his own companies to manufacture thin film solar (BiPV) and LED lights (indoor and outdoor). Since 2012 develops ICE Gateway, the new generation of LED drivers to merge the ICT and Energy efficiency in one  single component. The FOG computing based infrastructure as a service, enables multipurpose services such as LED light management, traffic services, marketing and more, via one installation of ICE Gateways in the light heads.

The technologies are evolving today very fast. The suppliers are highly focused on their own solutions. The system integrators merge various solutions in the cloud and offer a unified cloud service to customers. Next services require new management services and may partially overlap. The main intelligence is mostly in the network and the so called “big data” is primarily a mix of big useful and big useless data, which must be analyzed later via expensive data analytics. The result is a high cost of installations, undefined guarantees and maintenance, high useless occupancy of networks, huge lack of safety, latency and confusing management services for customers. This causes a long lead time in sales and since technologies are evolving, new solutions may be available before the last one is being installed.    We discuss an approach to solve these problems by distributing multiple intelligence layers, which will be shared by all services and components from different suppliers, to lower the costs and increase the quality and to shorten massively the time to market. Distributed local computing capabilities, combined with intelligent networks and a welldefined data fusion, offer the customers a complete and safe end-to-end solution. At the same time the suppliers can easily add or remove new sensors, LED components or other components at any time.  This approach enables real time outdoor IoE solutions (IoE: internet of everything: sensors, data, people and processes) in competitive and fast growing cities and for industrial customers, such as operators of parking areas, airports and rail stations.
