For data analytics, what network functions are needed, where do you placethem? • (aka: Will Cisco survive?) • (aka: “OpenFlow makes Hadoop faster”) • * Resource allocation/ Flow prioritization/ Network Planning/ virtual middle-boxes
What’s beyond a full bisection bandwidth core? * how big of a full bisection core network would you build or need? * the “edge” * failures
Failures, as a first class citizen? • * No one failure should break the system • * Avoid obfuscating/ amplifying factors • - cascading failures • - load shedding • - TCP
Will ultra-low latency networks change the game? • * One “computer” across many servers • ~ microseconds per hop • e.g., Bing, high frequency trading. Will a new class of apps benefit from ultra low latency? • In network, 2 level priority queues will solve the problem for low latency but not ultra low • Packet-level latency problem: mostly in host stacks? • Network control (e.g., TE) latency more of an issue
Testing Production Applications • A “failure monkey” to “flight” applications end-to-end • * for configuration checking • * for grey failures? • * built-in support for audit
