100G Equipment Capabilities Eli Dart, Network Engineer Joe Metzger, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2015 Joint ESCC/NSF/Quilt meeting Austin, TX October 2015

Approximate Outline 100G equipment experiences Common bottleneck scenario inside equipment R&E vs. commodity Internet designs 9/17/2018

Experience With 100G Equipment ESnet experiences Advanced Networking Initiative ESnet5 production 100G network Helping other people debug their stuff Important takeaways R&E requirements are outside the design spec for most gear Results in platform limitations – sometimes can’t be fixed You need to be able to identify those limitations before you buy R&E requirements are outside the test scenarios for most vendors Bugs show up when R&E workload is applied You need to be able to troubleshoot those scenarios 9/17/2018

Platform Limitations We have seen significant limitations in 100G equipment from all vendors with a major presence in R&E 100G single flow not supported Channelized forwarding plane Unexplained limitations Sometimes the senior sales engineers don’t know! Non-determinism in the forwarding plane Performance depends on features used (i.e. config-dependent) Packet loss that doesn’t show up in counters anywhere If you can’t find it, nobody will tell you about it Vendors don’t know or won’t say Watch how you write your procurements Second-generation equipment has proven to be much better Vendors have been responsive in rolling new code to fix problems 9/17/2018

Potential performance bottlenecks in routers and switches In some cases, the connections between components inside routers and switches are slower than the speed of the front panel interfaces This typically does not cause problems for enterprise traffic It does cause problems for high speed science traffic Use a common design problem in networks to illustrate

100G Network

Same Network, but with 10x10G

We would like traffic to load-balance nicely

Often traffic does not balance nicely High-speed flows sometimes collide – we can’t reliably use all the available bandwidth This is a well-understood problem in network engineering

Simplified Line Card

Line Card Flow Assignment

Flow Collision Inside The Router

They Don’t Test For This Stuff Most sales engineers and support engineers don’t have access to 100G test equipment It’s expensive Setup of scenarios is time-consuming R&E traffic profile is different than their standard model IMIX (Internet Mix) traffic is normal test profile Aggregate web browsers, email, YouTube, Netflix, etc. Large flow count, low per-flow bandwidth This is to be expected – that’s where the market is R&E shops are the ones that get the testing done for R&E profile SCinet provides huge value But, in the end, it’s up to us 9/17/2018

New Technology, New Bugs Bugs happen. Data integrity (traffic forwarded, but with altered data payload) Packet loss Interface wedge Optics flaps Monitoring systems are indispensable Finding and fixing issues is sometimes hard Rough guess – difficulty exponent is degrees of freedom Vendors/platforms, administrative domains, time zones Takeaway – don’t skimp on test gear (at least maintain your perfSONAR boxes) 9/17/2018

Implications For Equipment Purchases Make sure you understand the internal architecture of the box Packet traversal diagrams are very helpful Understand the bottlenecks that may exist Look for fan-in without buffering, sub-rate paths Make sure your vendor understands what you need Make sure you have recourse if the box doesn’t perform 9/17/2018

Open Discussion Questions War stories Other stuff 9/17/2018
