  1. Active Network Applications Tom Anderson University of Washington

  2. Large Scale Demonstrations • Active Naming • Name = mobile code to flexibly access service/data • Unifies URNs, replica load balancing, distillation, mobility, ... • Internet Measurement • Coordinated multipoint measurement to determine link latency, bandwidth, drop rate, queuing delay and policy, etc. • Detour • Intelligent border routers for aggregated congestion control and adaptive multipath routing • Potential order of magnitude improvement in latency, bandwidth, drop rate, predictability

  3. Approach • Rethink Internet naming, routing, and congestion control, assuming computation in the network • Build prototype demonstration systems; measure on real workloads • Use ABONE for deployment

  4. Application Area 1Active Naming

  5. Traditional Internet Naming DNS Server Host Binding IP Address URL Server Proxy Image (1024X768) • Traditional Model • Static name -> IP address binding. • Naming and transport separate. • Not flexible or extensible.

  6. Current Attempts to Add Flexibility to Name Binding • HTTP redirect • DNS round robin • Cisco Local Director/Distributed Director • URN’s with sed scripts to mangle names • Global object IDs (e.g., Globe, Legion) • Web caches/Active Caches • Mobile IP • ...

  7. Motivation • Consider Scenario: context-sensitive naming • User types cnn.com. • If client is behind a modem, it gets back a b/w image. • If client is a palm pilot, it gets a distilled image. • If the client is in Europe, it goes to the European replica. • Combine naming and transport in one framework. • Provide flexibility and extensibility in the way wide area resources are accessed.

  8. Data Name Programs Active Names: Basic Idea • Names resolved to mobile, secure programs Flexibility • Active Names organized into hierarchical namespaces. A program is associated with each namespace. • Namespace programs can be changed Extensibility. • Active Names are connection oriented: better end-to-end semantics and performance.

  9. Proxy Server Client Request Program1 Program2 Programming Model • Location independent programs • Programs may run on any AN node • Stream data model • Each program operates on a data stream which is the result of the previous program • Continuation passing style • Control does not have to return to the caller program

  10. Server Proxy Client Proxy Client Server Performance Gains • Application customized transport protocols. • Programs are location independent. Location can be chosen to optimally utilize resources (e.g., distillation). • Customization can be performed close to client instead of at the server (e.g., to cache dynamic content). • 3 way RPC

  11. Root-HTTP cnn yahoo ... Composing Services • Delegation • Active names organized in a hierarchy of namespaces • Namespace programs can delegate to subordinate namespaces • After methods • Continuation passing style programming • Namespace programs bundle remaining work into “after methods” before passing control • E.G. [Customizer|http|reply] --> [prefetch|http|distill|reply]

  12. Security • Protection between active name programs provided by Java’s type safety mechanism. • Caller passes a certificate to the callee granting it a subset of its rights. • Transitive closure of the certificates determines the rights of a principal. • For instance, each caller might grant its callee the right to respond to the client.

  14. Application 1: Replica Selection • DNS Round-Robin • Randomly choose replica • Avoid hot-spots • Distributed Director • Route to nearest replica • Geographic locality • Active Naming • Previous performance, distance • Adaptive Seattle Replica Berkeley Replica Berkeley Clients

  15. Replica Selection

  16. Application 2: Mobile Distillation Client-Specific Naming • Clients name a single object • Returned object based on client • Network connection, screen • Current approach [Fox97] • Proxy maintains client profile • Requests object, distills • Active naming • Transmit name + applet • Flexible distillation point • Tradeoff computation/bandwidth • Support mobile clients Variables: Network Screen

  17. Application 2: Mobile Distillation • Distillation at • Server: Saves bandwidth • Proxy: Saves server CPU cycles • Active: Cost estimate of both approaches

  18. Application 3: Customization • Client customization: distilling the image • Server customization: ad rotation, server-side includes. • Composing these customizations using Active Names leads to 2-fold improvement in performance: • Server customization can take place at proxy. • Distillation further improves performance.

  19. Application 4: Active Caches How to improve on 50% cache hit rates?

  20. Application Area 2Internet Measurement

  21. Application Area 3Detour: Intelligent Routing and Congestion Control

  22. Summary • Three large scale demonstrations • Active Names • Internet measurement • Detour routing and congestion control • White papers and software prototypes available: • http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/networking/detour • ABONE ports in progress
