  1. AT&T AMT Multicast Update IETF 84 Vancouver, BC

  2. AT&T AMT Landscape • Production ready Relays deployed in 12 national sites • Based on v9 • Moving to v14 4Q12 (assuming it is finalized and approved) • Total of 150 to 200 Gbps capacity by EOY 2012 • Soliciting large Content Providers with popular multicastable content • Engaged with Octoshape to utilize AMT capabilities to distribute their customers’ content • Octoshape’s proprietary technology ensures reliable delivery with high quality (quality metrics from Octoshape GW client) • Primary used for high-scale broadcast-quality video distribution • 24x7 broadcast: Examples: CNN live video (cnn.com), TVEverywhere • Events: Examples: Eurovision Song Contest, French Open

  3. Eurovision Song Contest • Partnered with Octoshape • Up to 10’s of thousands of simultaneous clients viewing • Supported 10’s of Gbps at peak period • Approx Domestic = 70%, International = 30% • Single Anycast address • No failures and sampling showed excellent quality • Interesting issue discovered w/respect Anycast routing • As busy peering locations quiesced the AMT tunnels burrowed deeper into BB to non-peering located Relays • Possible solution = separate Anycast address for Peering and Non-peering located Relays

  4. Anycast Issue 3 PeerRelay AT&T Peering Router 2 1 Peer Router 4 4 5 Internal Relay Peer Router 6 AT&T Peering Router PeerRelay External Network AT&T Network • External network peering router initially sends requests to nearest AT&T Relay at peering location • And receives content back from nearest AT&T Relay at peering location • AT&T Relay exceeds capacity limits for tunnels and quiesces • Requests routed (by AT&T Peering Routers) to Internal Relay • Internal Relay sends content via nearest peering router • Wasted BW as it would be better to serve out of the Peer Relay at the egress location • Short term solution is Internal and External Anycast address for Relays • Longer term: Router Based Relays with “infinite” BW

  5. Next Steps • Continue to deploy capacity as demand warrants • Working to make this a Product Offering (managed service) • Will allow CPs to use with their own external MC source • Integration with caching services • Integrate with other ISPs to support interdomain CDN Multicast • Setup Interconnection • Includes AMT and Native • Completed ATIS specification • Working IETF draft BCP
