Enhancing Network Visibility Based On Open Converged Network ApplianceOpen Networking Summit
Dr. Dongheon Lee' and Dr. Junho Suh's presentation from the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
As the mobile traffic carried by cellular networks has been growing rapidly and the networks gets bigger and more complex, network operators have been forced to search for solutions to substantially enhance network visibility. This talk introduces SKT integrated Network Analyzer (TiNA) and Converged Appliance Platform (T-CAP) which help us improving the efficiency of network operation, troubleshooting, and analyzing traffic. TiNA is composed of virtual network packet broker, flow analyzer, high speed packet dump system, connection performance analyzer, and 3D-based network management system. T-CAP is an open architecture of a server-switch type hardware. We will review how to implement those TiNA functions based on open source (e.g., DPDK, Spark Streaming) and T-CAP. Finally, we will also discuss about the use-cases of TiNA and T-CAP for the private cloud & telco network infrastructure.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Editor's Notes
The Internet is a Cat-o-Net
Cat Videos, Cat Pictures
October 1969, 10:30PM: First message on the ARPANET was sent from UCLA to Stanford
Dec. 5th 1969, ARPANET deployed
Sept. 1971 Connections across America
Sept. 1973 There are International nodes connected to ARPANET
Architecture: Fixed number of layers, each one with their own function -> doesn’t work at all, virtual layers, layers 2.5, etc..
Protocol design: TCP wrongly split from IP (they are not independent) -> IP fragmentation doesn’t work, TCP pseudo-header
Protocol design: No modular protocol design -> every minor difference requires the specification of a full new protocol (e.g. multiple versions of TCP, UDP, etc)
Naming and addressing: No application names, addresses exposed to applications, IP addresses name the same as MAC addresses (an interface), routing on the interface instead of the node, no in-network directories
Congestion control at TCP (worse place to put it since it maximizes time to notify and its variance), and implicit congestion detection -> predatory must cause congestion in order to detect it
Application support: No explicit flow allocation (application has to be aware of transport protocols and statically allocate ports), no support for end-to-end QoS
Security is a chaos, product of the complexity of the design: addresses exposed to applications, no structured approach towards security, so many protocols with so many unforeseen interactions that security is not workable at a reasonable cost
Spoon boy: Do not try and fix the Internet - that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no Internet.
The Internet architecture is proving to have
weak security
scalability issues with the routing system
explosion in the complexity of the overall system
no QoS
But it was built of a network layering idea, which originally come foperating system design
In operating systems, layers are a convenience, one design choice.
In networks, they are a necessity
Started off well, but then got a 7 layer model, 5 layer model and now we have MPLS, VxLAN, GRE Tunnels,
But is there a fixed number of layers ?
There doesn’t seem to be a fixed number of layers, it all depends on the scenarios and use cases. Therefore a fundamental architecture of computer networks is recursive.
A structure of recursive layers that provide IPC (Inter Process Communication) services to applications on top
There’s a single type of layer that repeats as many times as required by the network designer
Separation of mechanism from policy
All layers have the same functions, with different scope and range.
Not all instances of layers may need all functions, but don’t need more.
A Layer is a Distributed Application that performs and manages IPC
Distributed IPC Facility (DIF).
This yields a theory and an architecture that scales indefinitely,
The RINA Architecture
DAF Support Tasks:
The IPC Management (and other management: memory, storage, CPU) tasks are usually implemented as OS functionality.
IPC Resource Management: Creation/Deletion of IPC processes
Multiplexing (Usually inverse multiplexing, an application flow into multiple DIF flows, for example: 1 for video, 1 for audio, 1 for text, …)
SDU Protection (CRCs, encryption, TTL, …)
IDD (Inter DIF Directory, find out in what DIF the destination application process is executing)
There are the solutions to the current problems
Application names, hard to fix?
Solution: Name applications (independent namespace), the network maps application names to node names
This mapping is dynamic, and maintained in directories (what applications are available in each system – host, router - )
Application developers and users don’t care about node names
They just request communication to a remote application
Node names are internal to the network and managed by it (no need for central organizations allocating addresses manually)
Routing is a two step process:
Calculate the sequence of nodes (route) to generate the next hop
Select an appropriate path (Point of Attachment) to get to the next node
Name and address properties:
Application: Location independent (so that it can move)
Node addresses: Location dependent (to optimize routing)
PoA addresses: Unambiguous between adjacent nodes
Got a solid foundation to work from
PRISTINE will take a major step forward in the integration of networking and distributed computing, by focusing on an IPC approach
PRISTINE will use RINA to develop practical, demonstrable, and commercially exploitable solutions to address existing networking limitations. The project results will showcase the relevance of RINA as the architecture that can best support the distributed computing infrastructure of the coming years, providing theoretical and experimental evidence of its superiority compared to other alternatives and showing potential exploitation paths of the technology in different areas of the market: datacentre networking, distributed cloud overlays, and network service providers
Virtualization is a fundamental inherent attribute of the RINA architecture, and based on this aspect, the PRISTINE project shall:
Design and implement programmable functions for: supporting QoS & congestion control in aggregated levels, facilitating more efficient topological routing, security of content & application processes, providing protection and resilience and unified multi-layer RINA stack management framework for handling network layer configuration, performance and security
Demonstrate the applicability and benefits of this approach and its built-in functions in three use-cases in the environments of a Distributed cloud, Datacenter networking and Network service provider.
What’s the market ?
Much of 2014 was spent discussing software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), and other “new” networking technologies.
In short, 2014 was the year we strategically moved pieces around the board, but never reached the point of calling “checkmate.”
“2014 SDN Strategies: North American Enterprise” survey, which estimates that 87% of U.S. businesses intend to have SDN live in their data centers by 2016.
“Carrier SDN and NFV Hardware and Software Market Size and Forecast” report, which predicts that the NFV and SDN markets will reach $11 billion globally in 2018. Along with the major telcos announcing SDN deployments, we’ll also see initial NFV deployments in high-touch enterprises.
The 4K broadcasting standard has been around for some time now, and the TV sets to enable them have been available for a little over a year, but 2015 will see the standard become, well, standard.
As existing mobile networks are increasingly congested and real estate for deploying new macro towers is harder to come by, mobile operators will look to lighten the macro tower traffic load through the rollout of an increased number of small cells—which will also significantly improve overall network coverage,
mobile operators are planning to shift more than 20% of their mobile traffic from the macro network into small cells by 2018. We predict that 2015 will be the year when small cell deployments are widely adopted by mobile operators,
