Chairman 6 A complicated technology… Internet: different technologies are combined to offer a plethora of services We sorely miss the technology to understand what is happening in the network and thus to optimize its performance and utilization Specially when something goes wrong! 7 A complicated technology… …that no one controls and understands Why is not working? Which is the best ISP in my area? Where is traffic coming from? How to optimize my network for facebook? 8 Why we are here: mPlane motivation The Internet is a global interconnection of networks In case of “failure”, who can tell what’s going wrong? Each ISP may have a figure of what happens inside its network But what if the failure depends on other ISPs? Or on the content provider? Or on the CDN? Or on user equipment? Today, the web is a tangle No single organization operates, administers or governs it It is robust thanks to its diversity, but it is vulnerable and fragile Nobody really understands what happens today in the Internet How to predict what will happen tomorrow? We need an intelligent system that collects, analyzes, provides visibility to support better management: an oracle that provides answers 9 How can mPlane solve the problem(s)? The mPlane vision Goal: design and demonstration of a measurement plane for the Internet A distributed infrastructure for network measurement … which perform passive and active measurements, continuously or on-demand, at a wide variety of scales … with built-in support for iterative measurement and automated iteration. mPlane is about large scale network measurements, and intelligent big-data analysis for troubleshooting support embedding measurement into the Internet as an additional capability 11 mPlane in a slide Build a distributed, open, standard measurement infrastructure for the Internet Probes (WP2) – get the data Build on existing tools/methodologies Offer a flexible, programmable, open platform to run and collect Pietro Michiardi passive, active, hybrid measurement Repositories (WP3) – store and preprocess the data Tivadar Szemethy Collect measurement in a standard way Pre-process large amounts of data in efficient ways Grant access to interested parties (ISP, content providers, end-users, regulation agencies, etc.) subject to authorization rules Pedro Casas Intelligent reasoner (WP4) – dig into the data Mine automatically the data and extract useful information Help in drilling down to the root cause of a problem 12 mPlane WPs’organization WP8 - Project Management WP7 - Dissemination, Exploitation and Standardization WP4 - mPlane Supervisor: Iterative and Adaptive Analysis (supervision layer) WP3 - Large-scale Data Analysis (Repository and Analysis Layer) WP2 – Programmable Probes (Measurement Layer) WP1 Use Cases, Requirements and Architecture Ruediger Martin WP5 Integration, Deployment, Data Collection, Evaluation WP6 Demonstration 13 mPlane in a picture Coordination Intelligent Reasoner WP4 Module N Module 2 Module 1 Analysis Modules Repository and Analysis Layer Data collection & processing Supervisor legacyDB 1 legacyDB 2 legacyDB N mPlane Repository WP3 DBStream Blockmon Measurement Layer WP2 mInterface mInterface Raw data mInterface mProbe 1 mProbe 2 mProbe N mInterface mInterface legacyProbe 1 legacyProbe 2 mInterface e legacyProbe N 14 Some of the mPlane Use Cases Cloud services troubleshooting Mobile network performance issues troubleshooting Web browsing QoE troubleshooting Anomaly detection and diagnosis in large scale netoworks Multimedia content delivery troubleshooting Content and service popularity estimation & caching for network optimization SLA verification and certification 15 Who benefits from mPlane? mPlane benefits everyone: ISPs get a fine-grained picture of the network status, empowering effective management, operation, and troubleshooting. Content and Application providers gain powerful tools for handling performance issues of their delivery systems and applications. Regulators and end-users can verify adherence to SLAs, even when these involve many parties. Customers of all kinds can objectively compare network performance, improving competition in the market. The Research Community gets a system to accelerate the pace of research driven by Internet measurements 16 Collaborating Institutions mPlane promotes collaboration with external partners Official list of collaborating institutions To strengthen the standardization effort in mPlane To allow larger deployment of the mPlane system To enable external partners to get in touch with mPlane technology Univ.
