Lectures

During Autumn 2008, we will look at protocols and architectures related to mobility

management, session management, authentication, authorization and accounting

(AAA) services and quality of service (QoS). We will also consider how to develop

gigabit Internet routers.

The purpose is that the participants actively read the material beforehand and discuss

problem areas during the lectures. The course consists of the lectures and a final exam.

Networks II lectures start on Monday 22.9. 14.15-16 in T2. Registration happens on this

first lecture. Course material will be in English. Lectures will be in English if required.

Summary of CourseSummary of Course

•As discussed the course focuses on several important features of current networking systems

– Mobility, QoS, Security, Privacy

•We observe that these features were not important for the original Internet architecture

•They are important now– Mobility, QoS, Security are coming with IPv6 – IPv6 deployment does not look promising

•Hence, many proposals to solve issues in the current Internet

•Also many solutions to solve expected problems in the Future Internet

Layered ArchitectureLayered Architecture

•Internet has a layered architecture

•Four layers in TCP/IP– Application (L7)– Transport (L4)– Network (L3)– Link layer / physical (L2-L1)

•We will talk a lot about layering– Benefits, limitations, possibilities (cross-layer) – It is not always clear what is a good layering

•A lot of interesting networking developments are happening on application layer

The Internet has ChangedThe Internet has Changed

•A lot of the assumptions of the early Internet has changed

– Trusted end-points

– Stationary, publicly addressable addresses

– End-to-End

•We will have a look at these in the light of recent developments

•End-to-end broken by NATs and firewalls

Network has ValueNetwork has Value

•A network is about delivering data between endpoints

•Data delivery creates value

•Data is the basis for decision making

•We have requirements to the network– Timeliness– Scalability– Security– ...

Looking at the LayersLooking at the Layers

•Link Layer / Physical

•Network– We will look at mobility, security, and QoS on L3– Mobile IP, network mobility, HIP, NAT Traversal

•Transport– Basic properties of transport layer protocols

• TCP variants, DCCP, TLS, dTLS– Mobility and security on L4

•Application– Security, identity management

•Goal: have an understanding of the solutions and tradeoffs on each layer and discussion on the role of layering

Role of StandardsRole of Standards

•On this course, we will talk a lot about standards

– IETF is the main standards body for Internet technologies

– Instruments: RFCs, Internet drafts

– Working groups

– IRTF

•Other relevant standards bodies

– W3C, OMA, 3GPP, OMG

Transport IssuesTransport Issues

•Network layer (IP) provides basic unreliable packet delivery between end-points

•Transport layer needs to provide reliability, congestion control, flow control, etc. for applications

•TCP variants

•SCTP

•DCCP

•TLS

•dTLS

MobilityMobility

•What happens when network endpoints start to move?

•What happens when networks move?

•Problem for on-going conversations– X no longer associated with address– Solution: X informs new address

•Problem for future conversations– Where is X? what is the address?– Solution: X makes contact address available

•In practice not so easy. Security is needed!

Classifying Mobility ProtocolsClassifying Mobility Protocols

NAT TraversalNAT Traversal

•As mentioned, end-to-end is broken

•Firewalls block and drop traffic

•NATs do address and port translation– Hide subnetwork and private IPs

•How to work with NATs– Tricky: two NATs between communications– NAT and NAPT– One part is to detect NATs– Another is to get ports open

•IETF efforts– STUN– ICE– TURN– NSIS

QoSQoS

•By default, there is no QoS support on the Internet

•IP is unreliable, packet types are handled differently (TCP/UDP/ICMP)

•No guarantees on TCP flow priority (OS and NW stack issue)

•IETF work– DiffServ, IntServ, NSIS

Security FeaturesSecurity Features

•IPSec provides basic security (tunnel,transport) with IKE

•Solution for autentication, authorization, accounting is needed (AAA)

– Radius, Diameter

•Case: WLAN access network

HIPHIP

•HIP is a proposal to unify mobility, multi-homing, and security features that are needed by applications

•Identity-based addressing realizing locator-identity split

•Change in the networking stack that is not very visible to applications (no IP addresses though!)

•HIP architecture, HIP implementation for Linux

NetFPGANetFPGA

•The NetFPGA is a low-cost platform for teaching networking hardware and router design, and a tool for networking researchers.

•The NetFPGA offloads processing from a host processor.

•The host's CPU has access to main memory and can DMA to read and write registers and memories on the NetFPGA.

•A hardware-accelerated datapath.

•Four Gigabit ports and multiple banks of local memory installed on the card.

•Uses Verilog and a cross compilation environment.
