Title: "Deploying Tight-SLA services on an Internet Backbone"
Speakers: Clarence Filsfils, and Joe Evans
This workshop describes technologies that enable IP Service Providers to
offer tighter Service Level Agreements, in order to create competitive
advantage and better serve their customers. The SLA parameters that need
to be tightened are defined and then the technologies that should be
considered are described, together with the decision criteria on where each
technology should be used.
This workshop is based upon practical deployment
experience and includes lab and deployment results. The specific
technologies discussed are Differentiated Services, fast IGP convergence,
and Traffic Engineering. Consideration is also given to how these
technologies should be deployed and operated.
-
SLA parameter definition
- what are the primary parameters: delay, jitter, loss, OOS
- how to define them
- how to measure them -
Designing DiffServ for tight delay/jitter/loss parameters
- EF: impact of various implementations on the jitter
- AF: bandwidth allocation between classes to control loss
and latency
- RED: minimizes persistent queueing and thus scheduling latency while optimizing the bandwidth utilization
- Why Out-of-Sequence rate should be as low as possible
- What should be monitored?
-
Optimizing IP convergence for tight availability SLA's
- impact of convergence on your SLA's
- what is achievable with a modern IGP
- what is achievable with new techniques such as MPLS Fast Reroute

Tutorial on DDoS: Undeniably a global Internet problem looking for a global solution
Speakers: Yehuda Afek and Hank Nussbacher
Summary: this tutorial will explore in depth the various hacker tools
and
methods used to create Distributed Denial of Service attacks and the
methods ISPs can use to combat and control these attacks.
We will review: -
What is it and why does it work so well?
-
Different DDoS tools, and the traffic they generate
-
Measuring the phenomena (statistics)
-
Standards efforts (traceback) to solve the problem
-
Different approaches to detecting the attacks
-
Various methods to defend and defeat these attacks will be reviewe
d,
among them Cisco and Juniper methodologies as well as the various new
tools
available from Internet startups
