  10. Information Flow Content adaptation Service information level cell level 00101101… text... transport level Cell Parsers Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  11. A system of rules • If [setOfProperties] Then [...] Else […] Content properties Context (System state) Type Of Content Set of Rules Loaded Service Adapted Content Content Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  12. Rule design DTD Description <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!-- DTD: RULE STRUCTURE --><!ELEMENT rule (ruleID, instruction)> <!ELEMENT ruleID (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT instruction (condition, thenExpression, elseExpression)> <!ELEMENT condition (booleanExpression)> <!ELEMENT booleanExpression (operator, operandList)> <!ELEMENT operator (and|or|not)> <!ELEMENT and EMPTY> <!ELEMENT or EMPTY> <!ELEMENT not EMPTY> <!ELEMENT operandList (operand+)> <!ELEMENT operand (booleanExpression|property)> <!ELEMENT property EMPTY> <!ATTLIST propertyname CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT thenExpression (instruction|statement)> <!ELEMENT elseExpression (instruction|statement)> <!ELEMENT statement (serviceID)> <!ELEMENT serviceID (#PCDATA)> Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  14. Relay EntityA LAN WLAN EntityB Adaptation Module Where to find content adaptation? • Client-based integration PDA content Adaptation • HTML, images • Server-based integration Module implemented by server routines • VRML objects • Network based integration Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  16. EntityA EntityB Overlay nodes Definition • An overlay network is a network built on top of existing networks • replaces some of the functionality of underlying network • e.g. addressing, routing, service model • adds an additional layer of indirection • builds a virtual network • makes new services available to applications • Resource discovery • Enhanced features (multicast, security, reliability) • It is an alternative to • changing the global operational infrastructure Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  17. Pros: Reuse • Reuse of existing infrastructure (hardware, software, providers) • No modification of existing network layer software/protocols • But • Deploy new software on top of existing software • P2P software, ... • Possibly deploy new hardware • cache servers, ... • Support evolving network services • expensive to develop entirely new networking hardware/software • all networks after the telephone have begun as overlay networks Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  18. Pros: Reuse ! • Not every node needs/wants overlay network service all the time • e.g., QoS guarantees for best-effort traffic • Overlay network may be too heavyweight for some nodes • e.g., consumes too much memory, cycles, or bandwidth • Overlay network may have unclear security properties • e.g., may be used for service denial attack • Overlay network may scale poorly • e.g. may require n2 state or communication Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  19. Cons • Adds overhead • Adds a layer in networking stack • Additional packet headers, processing load at the nodes • Sometimes, additional work is redundant • E.g. addressing • Adds complexity • Layering does not eliminate complexity, it only manages it • Another layer ! more possible unintended interaction between layers • E.g., corruption drops on wireless interpreted as congestion drops by TCP Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  21. Proxy Client Filtering service eg. JPEG2000 Client QoS policy management Negotiated contract (SLA) Decision point QoS policy (SLS) JPEG2000 server Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  22. AR AR Router Router+ PEP Network Deployment • Two steps procedure: • - at call set up: opening a session and launching adaptation set up : PDP • - during the session: filtering of content : PEP JRM PS PDP Video server user Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  23. PDA client PC client Video broadcasting server proxy Lite PC client Video adaptation concept demonstrator • The system is composed of three distinct modules: • A broadcasting video server • acts as a source of JPEG images. • Its main role is to generate a video flow of images which are sent to a specific proxy. • A filter proxy • It receives the image flow from the source and transmits it to the client. The “video” flow is truncated according to the QoS parameters required by each client. • Input: flow of JPEG images issued by the source, client transmit/QoS requests • Output: personalized “Video” flow for each client • the client module • After sending to the proxy connection and QoS parameters, its role is to receive decompress and display the “video” flow. • Input: flow of JPEG images issued by the proxy, • Output: client/QoS requests for configuring the proxy. Flow of JPEG images Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004

  25. Conclusions • Overlay network built on top of the Internet for content adaptation • Middleware supports • processing of structured data • dynamic upload of new processing features • rules-based external supervision • On going work • Link with overlay management • Application to multicast video delivery Séminaire QoS, 25 juin 2004
