What An Application Wants Glenn Ricart June 5, 2014

An Infrastructure That Meets Its Needs 2

3 Required / Desirable Properties Affordable Price

Network Properties An application might care about Bandwidth Latency Jitter Reliability –Packet loss –Standby / redundant diversity Isolation –Performance –Security In-net & edge processing / storage Location mobility 4 Average Maximum Minimum Cumulative Relative priority for Stability of Price of

Federation Properties An application might care about Lingua franca Resource descriptions Service descriptions Orchestrations Identity Authorization Platform capabilities Isolation Location mobility 5 Capabilities Service levels Performance Security Monitoring Measurement Pricing

Complexities Both requirements and providers can be Time-varying Differ by flow/stream within an application Differ by user Differ by circumstances (e.g. during a disaster) Might need to be coordinated / orchestrated among applications Determined by law or regulation 6

Balance Points Might be Determined by regulators Chosen by infrastructure providers Be the result of priority assignment or traffic engineering Chosen by applications from a fixed menu Negotiated by agents for the application and infrastructure Dynamically re-negotiated 7

US Ignite Apps Want At Low Cost End-user Bandwidth (gigabit) Highly-responsive apps (gigabit, latency, edge infrastructure (locavore infrastructure)) Real-time high-quality video (gigabit, latency, jitter, packet loss) Sensitive information apps (Isolation) Mission-critical apps (reliability plus the above) 8

SDXes Integral to inter-domain application infrastructure Either –Do not impact a property when inserted –Are considered as part of the balance 14 Transparent

Don’t forget Connecting heterogeneous networks (services) (those with different properties) may benefit from more than packet passing (e.g. transcoding or an application gateway). 15

A Proposal for Proceeding Do (just) enough to support / demonstrate a very small number of inter-domain applications Above x3 or x5 –See some different design points –So we can see similarities and differences Spiral with increased sophistication 16
