  1. DTunnels Year 1 Summary Nick Feamster

  2. Overview • Two pieces • DTunnels: Mechanism for creating appearance of layer 2 links between virtual nodes • BGP Mux: Mechanism for connecting downstream virtual network to upstream connectivity • Two students: Yogesh Mundada (DTunnels) and Valas Valancius (BGP Mux)

  3. Design Requirements • Session transparency: BGP updates should appear as they would with direct connection • Session stability: Upstreams should not see transient behavior • Isolation: Individual networks should be able to set their own policies, forward independently, etc. • Scalability: Mux should support many networks

  4. BGP Mux • Separate BGP view for each upstream ISP • Private AS numbersare removed beforepropagation • “local-as” function for client connections • Small advertisement interval • Unchanged BGP attributes BGP Mux

  5. Progress in Year 1 • DTunnels • Kernel patches to create “Ethernet GRE” tunnels • Interface for specifying topology in XML and instantiating topology in OpenVZ (ProtoGENI nodes will run) • BGP Mux • Design and implementation of control plane • Deployment in three locations: GT, Wisc, PSG

  6. Challenges in Year 1 • DTunnels • Implementation of kernel patch for EGRE tunnels (done) • BGP Mux • Mostly logistical problems • Acquisition of AS number, IP address space, mapping of the IP space to the AS number in shared whois and the IRR • Data plane integration

  7. Integration Progress (Spiral 1) • DTunnels • Instantiation of topology from an XML spec that resembles an RSpec • Some initial discussions about the commonalities between the ProtoGENI RSpec and our spec • BGP Mux • Installation of Mux nodes on same subnets as ProtoGENI nodes • No RSpec integration yet: need aggregate manager

  8. Internet2 Connection Progress • BGP Mux is deployed at three sites: Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, PSGNet • First two sites: directly connected to Internet2 • Route advertisements are being accepted on Internet2 connections • Advertisements filtered on commodity links due to the rwhois/IRR problems • DTunnels • Not really applicable, but we do have the option of provisioning between these sites

  9. Plans for Experiments • First experiment: “NameCast” (Jennifer Rexford) • DNS resolvers are replicated at multiple sites and advertised on a common IP prefix • Service advertises and withdraws BGP routes to control how traffic reaches the service • Deployment in progress at Georgia Tech • Next experiment: Something that requires virtual networks/tunneling behind the Mux

  10. Plans for Spiral 2 • Deployment of experiments on BGP Mux and DTunnels • Integration of aggregate manager with ProtoGENI (front end) • Automation of BGP Mux setup from RSpec • Integration with other control frameworks
