3. More Applications 4. Conclusion Acknowledgement 2
The Goal of i-Path project Accessible Information between the hosts Observing the information disclosure policy of all stakeholders along the path

Introduction
Background
Growing demand for backbone bandwidth
Network performance fluctuation (e.g. throughput) Routers keep rich information
•Routing table, Link utilization •Temperature, Location, Contact point, Supply voltage etc.
Not easy to collect right information and to utilize information along the path • Because of … – Observe the information disclosure policy – Status of network depends on variety of factors 4
Introduction
Motivation • Disclosing information leads to improved End-to-End visibility • End-to-End visibility provides benefit to end hosts and network operators – Monitoring network status – Reporting events and troubleshooting – Reduction in operational cost
• Providing transparency of underlying networks 5
Introduction
Applications Enhanced Congestion Control
Best peer selection in P2P communication applications Adjust optimal bit rate in VoD Dynamic network configuration (e.g. according to Time zones) Selection of the appropriate path (e.g. Not violating policies related to content management) 6
Overview
Data Collection
• Explicit Network Information Collection Along a Path • SIRENS *(Simple Internet Resource Notification Scheme) – Based on the cross layer approach
Bottleneck bandwidth Interface queue capacity Corruption losses etc.
– Scalable network information measurement * K. Nakauchi and K. Kobayashi. An explicit router feedback framework for high bandwidth-delay product networks. Computer Networks, 51(7):1833–1846, 2007.

Overview
Information Disclosure • Prohibit to access some Information on routers • Unwilling to disclose inside network status – Security – Cost
• Each ISP has a disclosure policy • End hosts have their disclosure policy Negotiation: requests and responses OK to Disclose?
OK to Disclose?
OK to Disclose?

Observing Information Disclosure Policies Selective requests and responses Policy: Alice & Bob allow to disclose beyond 3rd hop router.
Implementation: • Alice does not send req. for her neighbor & the next neighbor routers, i.e.,1st & 2nd hops. • Bob does not send back res. same as Alice, i.e., 6th & 7th hops.
Results: • Alice obtains 3-5 hops data. • Bob obtains 3-7 hops data 10
New Software Tools (a) Send a SIRENS request packet

Snapshot of the Visualization Tool
• Dark colored (Blue) routers – Data Collection: Enabled
• Gray colored routers – Data Collection: Not enabled or Not Exist 12

More applications
NAT traversal
Different kind of NATs: full cone, restricted cone, port restricted cone, symmetric K.Tobe, A.Shimoda and S.Goto, NAT traversal with transparent routers, (in Japanese, to appear) 72nd National Convention of IPSJ, Mar. 2010

Current Status and Future Plans • i-Path project wiki http://i-path.goto.info.waseda.ac.jp/trac/i-Path/ • Dai Mochinaga, Katsushi Kobayashi, Shigeki Goto, Akihiro Shimoda, and Ichiro Murase, Collecting Information to Visualize Network Status, 28th APAN Network Research Workshop, pp.1—4, 2009. • Network application utilizing collected information • Demonstration on R&D testbed: JGN in Japan • Demonstration at SC09, Portland, OR, Nov. 2009 15
Conclusion • We proposed new method disclosing network information • i-Path – Offering end-to-end visibility, transparency – Observing privacy protection – Respecting disclosure policy
