Rutger Coolen, TNC 2005 Collaborative network monitoring for NREN’s Use cases for LOBSTER

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 2 Agenda LOBSTER Viewpoints and Actors Use cases - Approach 2 example use cases for LOBSTER Your input Current Status

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 3 Viewpoints on LOBSTER Project viewpoint LOBSTER is a “Specific Support Action” project under EU FP6 Infrastructure viewpoint The LOBSTER project realises a pilot infrastructure for advanced network monitoring Community viewpoint The owners and users of the LOBSTER infrastructure co-operate in a community

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 4 Overview of the actors LOBSTER community LOBSTER primarily aims at NREN’s and secondarily at ISP’s Other potential users Customers of NREN’s and ISP’s, including researchers Government / policy-makers

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 5 LOBSTER Viewpoints and Actors Use cases - Approach 2 example use cases for LOBSTER Your input & Current Status

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 6 Use Cases What use-cases are: Applications of the LOBSTER infrastructure What use-cases are used for: To demonstrate the benefits of LOBSTER To derive requirements for the LOBSTER infrastructure What use-cases are not: The (business) case for joining LOBSTER

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 7 Use Cases Inclusion of LOBSTER characteristics Multiple domains Advanced monitoring High Speed Privacy Co-operation between NREN’s Interdomain problems Beyond state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities Distributed sensors Confidentiality reqs Privacy legislation Anonymisation Advanced Hardware Useful for advanced NREN & GN2 networks Benefits for users

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 11 Use Case 1a - Collaborative Worm Detection 2. LOBSTER measurement points collect worm sources Measurement Point Worm list SourceCustomer Univ R&D Univ.2… copy of traffic

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 12 Use Case 1a - Collaborative Worm Detection 3a. Incident Response Team takes actions Block sources, or route to special web-site … Access Router for Customers Worm Source IP’s Customer X Measurement Point to customers (1) (2)

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 13 Use Case 1b - Worm Impact Statistics 3b. Anonymous data is combined in an overall picture NREN 2 NREN 1 MP Anonymous worm counts NREN 1 Anonymous worm counts NREN 2

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 14 Use Case 2a – Advanced Services Monitoring 1. Inter- and intradomain call set-up and data-streams NREN x NREN 2 NREN 1 Interdomain Voice-over-IP Intradomain Voice-over-IP Interdomain Video Conferencing

TNC 2005Rutger Coolen 15 Use Case 2a – Advanced Services Monitoring 2. A user monitor’s the key parameters NREN 2 NREN 1 MP Intradomain MP Ingress/ egress (Partial) raw data from other NREN
