Grand Challenge Network Problems • Network management and control in the presence of fast network dynamics • Reliable delivery with deadlines Vincent W. S. Chan Joan and Irwin Jacobs Professor, EECS, MIT SES DoD Chan@MIT.edu
Future network management and control challenges • Future network dynamics (fast) • Applications: • Resource allocation for per flow large transactions • High granularity wireless transactions with deadline • Network: • Highly fluid wireless topologies • Long reach lightpath transients in physical layer • Current network dynamics (slow) • Applications: • Network does not respond to per session dynamics • Little time deadline services • Network: • Slow provisioning in backbone • Static wireless infrastructure Chan@MIT.edu

Network management and control challenges • Before: Quasi-static provisioning, localized sensing and restoration (e.g. SONET, G709) • Future: Fast transients, fluid topologies, per session resource allocations, … • Problems: • Dynamics too fast and too many for full sensing • Even with full network states, how to do resource allocation computations? • How to collapse amount of network state sensed ∆, but retain reasonable efficiencies? • Network management designs must be done with considerations of amount of state information sensed and optimized with performance metrics • Reliability costs efficiency except at 1. 1 1 Cost of efficiency for added reliability Efficiency Reliability 0 ∆ 1 Network information sensed Chan@MIT.edu
