This document discusses technology trends to address ongoing growth in internet traffic. It begins with an overview of Global Crossing, a tier 1 internet backbone provider. It then discusses the exploding growth in internet traffic driven by user demand. Looking forward, new transport technologies like ultra long haul are needed to address this growth and reduce costs per megabit as traffic increases. Ultra long haul uses technologies like advanced modulation, coherent detection, and low loss Raman amplification to allow optical signals to travel longer distances at lower costs. This will help transport costs align with price erosion in the IP transit market and allow global internet backbones to scale efficiently.
PLNOG16: Data center interconnect dla opornych, Krzysztof MazepaPROIDEA
This document discusses data center interconnect (DCI) solutions for extending layer 2 domains across multiple sites. It introduces Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) as an IP-based solution that uses "MAC in IP" techniques to extend layer 2 connectivity over any transport network while containing failures and preserving resiliency. OTV uses control-plane learning and IS-IS routing to advertise MAC reachability between sites and elect a single edge device per VLAN to forward traffic. This allows OTV to provide layer 2 extensions across metro or global distances while isolating spanning tree domains and preventing unknown unicast flooding beyond site boundaries.

Abstract:
Much attention has been attracted to the research of cooperative automatic driving that focuses on safety and efficiency by sharing the data obtained from sensor information of a vehicle. In addition, dynamic maps, a common information and communication platform for the integrated management of shared sensor information, are under consideration. A vehicle always sends data to a server that manages the dynamic map, and the server runs applications for driving support and control on the basis of the data, so fast information processing is required. However, congestion is a concern when data is continuously sent from vehicles to the server at high transmission intervals and when many vehicles are managed by dynamic maps on the server. In addition, the data transmission interval from the vehicle required by the road characteristics differs in actual traffic environments. Therefore, congestion can be alleviated by adjusting the transmission interval of data from the vehicle in consideration of road characteristics. In this paper, a platform for a dynamic map consisting of a server and a vehicle is constructed. We have also implemented a priority processing function that sets the priority for each section of a lane, and adjusts the transmission interval on the basis of the characteristics of the road around the vehicle.
This document discusses resource allocation and quality of service (QoS) for cellular communications systems operating in congested environments. It proposes designing radio resource allocation (RRA) mechanisms that can optimize for meeting different traffic types' bit rate requirements while accounting for their elasticity behaviors. The author proves that relaxing real-time traffic utilities into a sigmoidal form leads to a convex optimization problem, allowing for efficient resource allocation. Large-scale simulations are performed to test the RRA mechanisms under realistic channel conditions and network deployments.
The San Francisco County Transportation Authority uses several apps and online tools to engage the public in transportation planning, including MyStreetSF.com, sfbudgetczar.com, and CycleTracks. These tools receive thousands of user submissions providing data on transportation issues and preferences. However, users tend to be overrepresented by ages 25-40, white, higher-income residents. The Authority analyzes user data along with other sources to inform planning of bicycle networks and facilities, transit funding priorities, and regional transportation modeling.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
