This document provides an overview of quality of service (QoS) concepts, including:
- Different types of network traffic such as voice, video, and data have different characteristics and requirements for latency, jitter, bandwidth etc.
- Network devices use queuing algorithms like FIFO, WFQ, CBWFQ, and LLQ to classify and prioritize traffic during periods of congestion.
- QoS models including best effort, Integrated Services (IntServ), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ) provide different levels of guarantees for delivering traffic according to requirements. IntServ provides the highest guarantee but has poor scalability while DiffServ is more scalable.

SDN in the Management Plane: OpenConfig and Streaming TelemetryAnees Shaikh
The networking industry has made good progress in the last few years on developing programmable interfaces and protocols for the control plane to enable a more dynamic and efficient infrastructure. Despite this progress, some parts of networking risk being left behind, most notably network management and configuration. The state-of-the-art in network management remains relegated to proprietary device interfaces (e.g., CLIs), imperative, incremental configuration, and lack of meaningful abstractions.
We propose a framework for network configuration guided by software-defined networking principles, with a focus on developing common models of network devices, and common languages to describe network structure and policies. We also propose a publish/subscribe framework for next generation network telemetry, focused on streaming structured data from network elements themselves.
10 ways to shoot yourself in the foot with kubernetes, #9 will surprise you! ...Laurent Bernaille
Kubernetes is a very powerful and complicated system, and many users don’t understand the underlying systems. Come learn how your users can abuse container runtimes, overwhelm your control plane, and cause outages - it’s actually quite easy!
In the last year, we have containerized hundreds of applications and deployed them in large scale clusters (more than 1000 nodes). The journey was eventful and we learned a lot along the way. We’ll share stories of our ten favorite Kubernetes foot guns, including the dangers of cargo culting, rolling updates gone wrong, the pitfalls of initContainers, and nightmarish daemonset upgrades. The talk will present solutions we adopted to avoid or work around some these problems and will finally show several improvements we plan deploy in the future.

This session will provide a quick review of the methodology of early dispatch systems connected to radio, telephone and other resources via circuit switched interfaces such as 4WE&M, 2W analogue etc., and their restricted backhaul capabilities, leading on to the 'stand-alone' RoIP boxes that allowed 4W E&M to be converted to IP and recovered at the other end allowing backhaul via more flexible IP networks.
The next technology is dispatch systems with native IP connectivity allowing the most flexible and functional interfaces between the dispatch system and its connected resources. While some manufacturers equipment uses proprietary IP messaging, most prefer and use open standards such as P25 CSSI (console sub system interface), DFSI (digital fixed system interface) and ISSI (inter sub system interface) or the emerging DMR AIS which ensures that different vendors equipment can interoperate with each other via these interfaces. Open standards provide end users with greatly improved competitive choice and functional capability on these systems.
The session will explore examples of IP interfaces for voice dispatch systems and the functions supported, plus give a background on how these apply to many different technologies and can even be adapted for conventional radio applications:
The workshop will cover on the following issues:
- The difference between RoIP and VoIP - how radio systems differ from phone systems
- Implementing one-to-one connections
- Implementing many-to-many connection
- Risk management: Identifying network issues affecting RoIP/VoIP quality; maintenance; and redundancy
- Design elements :- building blocks; calculating network bandwidth requirements
The implications of RoIP for dispatch consoles will be also be discussed: how dispatch console to radio connections can be implemented with RoIP and how RoIP can be used to provide fault tolerant dispatch architectures.
Finally the workshop will look at the impact of new technologies such as IPv6, Wireless Broadband and the switch to Digital Radio on the RoIP landscape.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
