  3. Our Work • Goal: gaining a deeper understanding of the causes & characteristics of link failures • How: • Using SONET alarm logs • Focusing on high failure links/periods Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  4. IS-IS Failures, Feb. 2003 Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  5. Number of Failures per Day Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  8. High Failure Periods • Periods with a large number of failures (HNP) • Periods in which a large percentage of links are down (HDP) Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  9. Number vs. Duration of Failures Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  10. High Failure Periods Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  11. Periods with High Number of Failures Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  12. High Failure Periods (Cont’d) • We can also classify high failure periods based on spatial distribution of the links failing in those periods. Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  17. Matching IS-IS Failures with SONET alarms (SLOS) Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  18. Preliminary Results • About 58% of all failures match with a SLOS alarm. • High Failure Links have a higher correlation with SLOS alarms (85%) • Router Related Failures show much less correlation than other classes (0-29%). • Periods with high number of failures show more correlation than periods with high duration of failures.

  19. Unmatched SLOS alarms Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  20. Matching SLOS alarms • Problem: A large percentage (45%) of SLOS alarms do not correspond to any IS-IS failures • Solution: Remove links which are not up or links which go down for ever • Result: Less than 2% of SLOS alarms do not correspond to any IS-IS failures Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  21. Matching IS-IS Failures & SONET alarms Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  22. Unmatched SLOS alarms(considering removed links) Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  23. Unmatched SLOS alarms • Spread over time • Almost half of them have a matching alarm (SLOS <-> SLOS cleared) • Minimum time between SLOS and SLOS cleared is 9 seconds. • More investigation??? Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look

  24. Research Direction • High Failure Periods: Study cascading effects, spatial distribution of failures • High Failure Links: Predicting future failures based on passed ones. • Network Availability: How do failures affect network availability? • ??? Link Failures in IP Networks: A Closer Look
