  5. OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC IP Network over OTN Conceptual view Data center Actual IP link = circuit

  6. Transport Network • Evolved from traditional telecommunications networks • Good at long distance transmission of digital signal • Technologies • Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) • Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) • Providing long-term circuits between end points • Separation from application networks • Network on network; “overlay network” • Business tiers: carriers vs ISPs

  7. Traffic Engineering (TE) • Mechanisms to allocate network resources according to traffic demand • ISP: Make better use of resources ($$$) • Static: Network planning/provisioning/optimization • Dynamic:Resources allocation adapts to traffic change

  8. Dynamic TE • Basic idea:Move traffic around to alleviate congestion • Why is it effective? • Data traffic can be bursty • Special events occur more frequently in data networks

  9. Observations • ISPs and carriers want to provide better service with less cost • Over-provisioning because of slow response to adding capacity and large variation in traffic demand • Utilization < 25% • Current dynamic TE is still limited • Only deal with congestion

  10. Large Daily Traffic Variation OC-48 link between Dallas and Washington DC

  11. More Observations • “Information Super Highway”? • Distribution channel of electronic information products • Electronic post office

  12. Technology Advances • Control Plane Technology • A separate network dedicated to resources control • Allows resources to be added or released quickly • Optical devices and equipments • Optical laser, receiver, filter etc • Wavelength conversion • Optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) • Optical cross connect (OXC)

  13. 2 3 2 4 2 4 3 Peak Hours Off-Peak Hours New TE Paradigm – Multi-Layer TE • For ISP, IP links can be leased or released on demand • IP network topology can be changed on demand • Let IP network topology adapt to actual traffic demand

  14. Value proposition • For ISP • OPEX reduction • Simplified network planning • For Carrier • New applications/customers for Carrier Increased (overall) revenues • Improved resource efficiency More revenue from the same resources

  15. OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC Network Model • Two-layer overlay • IP/MPLS network • Optical network • Assume that Optical TE is already available

  16. Input • -Traffic matrix • Physical topology • etc Initial provisioning Network monitoring congestion under-utilization MPLS-TEHybrid path routing Cost down? no yes Activate new IP links Remove idle IP links Our MLTE Framework

  17. Network Monitoring & MPLS-TE IP/MPLS Network 1 2 3 • Monitor outgoing IP links • Detect congestion (if utilization > TH_high) • Detect underutilization ( if utilization < TH_low) • Select target LSPs and notify ingress nodes • Ingress node attempts to re-route LSPs

  18. Hybrid Path Routing • Augmented topology information from optical layer: candidate links • Hybrid path consisting of • Existing IP links • Candidate links • Special cost functionfor both congestionand under-utilization IP/MPLS Network OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC OXC Optical fiber Optical Network

  19. Hybrid Path Routing • Define Network_Cost = sum( Link_Costi ) Link_Costi = F(Link_Utilizationi) x real_link_costi • Algorithm: • Triggered by congested or under-utilized links • Dijkstra’s shortest path • d(link_costi)= F(expected_link_utilizationi) – F(link_utilizationi) • Granting a new route only if it decreases the real network cost F link_utilization UH

  21. Experiment Results • Simulation tool: J-Sim (www.j-sim.org) • North America Model • 14 nodes, 24 links, 193 LSPs • Average # of IP links ~ 21 • # of IP links at peak demand = 33 • Cost saving ~ 36% v.s. over-provisioning • Tradeoff between cost and number of LSP reroutes

  22. Visualization Tool

  23. Research Topics • ML-TE framework • TE operations • MPLS-TE procedure and Optical-TE • Topology transformation algorithm • Hybrid path routing algorithm • Suitable for both congestion and under-utilization
