  1. Network Registration & Bandwidth Management Gary Holeman Ken Johnson Tim Medin

  2. LeTourneau Internet Bandwidth History • 1998 – 1.5 Megabit/sec shared with 5 institutions, very unreliable • 2000 – 1.5 Megabit/sec dedicated, commercial provider • 2002 – 3.0 Megabit/sec dedicated, commercial provider • August 2004 – 6.0 Megabit/sec dedicated, two commercial providers, Autonomous System Number (ASN) belongs to LeTourneau, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Routing to balance load between providers and provide fault tolerance • March 2005 – 9.0 Megabit/sec dedicated, two commercial providers • June 2005 – 21 Megabit/sec on a full SONET fiber ring both to the campus and on the campus, providing protection from fiber cuts, both on the campus and within Longview. 3 Megabit/sec with secondary provider for fault tolerance. • July 2006 – Expanding to 45 Megabit/sec on the SONET ring, with two different sources

  4. Assumption • It will not be possible to control the growth in bandwidth use without individual responsibility and accountability.

  5. Background • Background • Problems • Virus Containment • Outbreak in Fall 2004 • Difficult to Quarantine • No Direct Policy Notification

  6. Requirements • Quarantine • Trust Registered Computers • Track Usage • Force DNS Naming • Security Levels

  7. Registration Solutions • NetReg • Tested & Stable • Moderate Support • Security Only at Boot • No VLAN Support Decision: Not Secure Enough

  8. Registration Solutions • Commercial Software • Dedicated Support • Stable • Very Expensive Decision: Too Expensive

  9. Bandwidth Management Solutions • Commercial Software • Stable • Ramping • Expensive • Support Decision: Implementation Failed

  10. Registration Solutions • Custom Solution • Monetarily “Cheap” • Customizable • Development Time Citadel is Born
