Automating network management โฆ
Complexity of management models key metric to evaluate the
limitations/possibilities on network automation (and its cost)
3. Are โAll IP networksโ easy to automate?
โข Computer networking & telecom industry has been steadily
moving towards an โall IPโ world.
โ Is โall-IP convergenceโ a simple, scalable, robust, manageable,
performing and future-proof solution for all types of computer
networks?
โข Could be if
โ The โIP protocol suiteโ had been designed with generality in mind,
allowing its protocols to adapt to specific network environments
โ The โIP protocol suiteโ is well know for having no scalability,
performance or security issues

4. There is a better approach: RINA
โข Network architecture resulting from a fundamental theory of computer
networking
โข Networking is InterProcess Communication (IPC) and only IPC. Unifies
networking and distributed computing: the network is a distributed
application that provides IPC
โข There is a single type of layer with programmable functions, that repeats
as many times as needed by the network designers
โข All layers provide the same service: instances or communication (flows) to
two or more application instances, with certain characteristics (delay, loss,
in-order-delivery, etc)
โข There are only 3 types of systems: hosts, interior and border routers. No
middleboxes (firewalls, NATs, etc) are needed
โข Deploy it over, under and next to current networking technologies

6. โIP protocol suiteโ macro-structure
โข Functional layers organized for modularity, each layer provides
a different service to each other
โ As the RM is applied to the real world, it proofs to be incomplete.
As a consequence, new layers are patched into the reference
model as needed (layers 2.5, VLANs, VPNs, virtual network
overlays, tunnels, MAC-in-MAC, etc.)

7. Network management
Commonality is the key to effective network management
7
โข Commonality and consistency in RINA greatly simplifies management
models, opening the door to increased automation in multi-layer
networks
โ Reduce opex, network downtime, speed-up network service delivery, reduce
components that need to be standardised
From managing a set of layers, each with its
own protocols, concepts and definitions โฆ
โฆ to managing a common, repeating structure
of two protocols and different policies

โข All layers have the same mechanisms and 2 protocols (EFCP for data
transfer, CDAP for layer management), programmable via policies.
โ All data transfer and layer management functions are programmable!
โข Donโt specify/implement protocols, only policies
โ Re-use common layer structure, re-use policies across layers
โข This approach greatly simplifies the network structure, minimizing the
management overhead and the cost of supporting new requirements, new
physical media or new applications
9. Case study: Large-scale DC Network
โข Large-scale DCN connects around 100k servers, how to realize
and manage the DCN with RINA and IP?

control plane)
