IP VPN Mgmt bklauser@cisco.com Cisco Public Demand Clearly there is a demand to address operational issues which are extremely hard to solve from outside the Network (hard = inaccurate, time- or resource-consuming, otherwise expensive) Often such issues arise when operating – managed services (ie CPE based services) – large managed infrastructures (ie MPLS VPN, Aggregation) – mobile networks (ie pWLAN aboard trains & buses) Research Significant amount of research work (ICAC, SelfMan itself are proof of that – Passion & Dedication) Toward Self-Managed networks? Great Progress – 1/2

Existing smart data sources available => (IOS BQA/Corvil, IPSLA, IPFIX/NetFlow, RMON, MIBs, etc...) Toward Self-Managed networks? Great Progress – 2/2 Relevant Events Link Capacity Example: BQA Banwidth Quality Analysis of micro-congestion External App – 5 Min Sampling t b/w Example: Diagnose MPLS Diagnose complex root-causes in MPLS networks LSP Example: IP SLA Large Scale Monitoring of Delay, Jitter, Packet Drop Source Targets Synthetic Traffic

Moving Forward – 1/2
