29 Multicast as an Infrastructure Service Global multicast as an “infrastructure service”, not a core network primitive –Circumvents technical/operational/business barriers of no interdomain multicast routing, management, billing No coherent architecture for infrastructure services, because of end-to-end principle Needed: Service stack to complement the IP protocol stack –Open redirection –Content-level peering Steve McCanne

37 A New Kind of Internet Actively push services towards the edges: caches, content distribution points Manage redirection, not routes New applications-specific protocols –Push content to the edge –Invalidate remote content for freshness –Collate remote logs into a single log –Internet TV/Radio: streaming media that works Twilight of the end-to-end argument –Trusted service providers/network intermediaries –Service providers create own application-specific overlays, e.g., cache and streaming media content distribution

39 Presentation Outline Convergence, Divergence, Competition The Unexpected Evolution of the Internet Corporate Infotech “Blown to Bits” Content Delivery Networks Summary and Conclusions

40 The Post-PC Era Services spanning access networks, to achieve high performance and manage diversity of end devices Not about specific Information Appliances Builds on the New Internet: multiple application- specific “overlay” networks, with new kinds of service-level peering Pervasive support for services within “intelligent” networks –Automatic replication –Document routing to caches –Compression & mirroring –Data transformation

41 Edge Services vs. Core Services Potentially high local b/w over access networks Wide-area bandwidth efficiency Fast response time (and more predictable) Integrate localized content Associated with client (actually ISP), not server Examples: –Caching: exploits response time, b/w efficiency, high local b/w –Filtering: form of local content transformation –Internet TV: b/w efficiency, high local b/w, predictable response –Transformation: adapt content for end user/diverse access devices –Software Rental: sxploits high local b/w –Games, chat rooms, ….

42 The Post-PC Research Agenda New Definition of “Quality of Service” –Perceived quality depends on services in the network –Manage caches, redistributors, NOT bandwidth Bandwidth Issues –Tier 1 ISP backbones rapidly moving towards OC 192 (9.6 gbs!) –Better interconnection: hops across ASs decreasing over time –Emerging broadband access networks: cable, DSL,... –End-to-end latency/server load dominate performance Supporting Old Services in the New Internet –IP Multicast, DNS, … –Rethinking the End-to-End Principle –Service/content-level peering, just like routing-level peering –Secure end-to-end connection compatible with service model?
