USENIX Special Workshop on Intelligence at the Network EdgeFisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco March 20, 2000 Panel: "QoS Provisioning at the Network Edge" John Vicente Intel Corporation / Columbia University
“What level of intelligence at the edge will be sufficient to achieve QoS?” • Timing considerations • Consumer driven • Industry evolution • Network architectural considerations • Level of programmability • Degree of abstraction • Panel Q: Have we resolved IP-based QoS? • Is network programmability a solution for IP QoS?
Ubiquitous IP Infrastructure • Convergence, integration and efficiency • Multi-service aggregation devices • QoS, security, provisioning and network management • ToS, 802.1p, DiffServ, MPLS, RSVP, bandwidth broker(?) – or a hybrid • Policy-based management & COPS • Configured (management scale) policies to provision, service differentiate and perform bandwidth segmentation • Packet content-based metering & provisioning
Open Network Architectures • Open and horizontal …enabling interoperability, open markets, flexibility • Increasing network intelligence • Standard APIs & programmable building blocks • Flexible, dynamic QoS control and provisioning
Programmable Internet Platform • Network automation and customization ….enabling privacy, personalization and autonomy (i.e., programmability and QoS) • Network shares computation with the end systems • Advanced middleware & programmability models • Unified APIs and common network abstractions • Automate the networking design, deployment process • Ultimate network abstraction =>Programmable virtual networks • Transforming the “edge”
Updates OPENSIG’2000 will be hosted by Intel in October of this year. The Intel IX Architecture is a new approach to designing networking and telecommunications equipment based on reprogrammable silicon and open interfaces. …more information on how to join the Intel Internet Exchange Architecture Developers Forum, visit http://www.ixarchitectureforum.org.
