OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH OASIS’ position Goal : To scale ( extend via subnetting, in terms of the amout of networks and users connected, with the least loss of performance ) an existing Open Access Network. Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

The existing system design Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

Why does it need to be expanded ? Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A Open.Net in It-university is expanding, Open.Net concept will cover Kista gallerian, Kista etc. More WLAN:s More ISP connections More different user types OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH

How to expand ? Expand the access network by routers No(need MAC) Expand the access network by Ethernet expansion? No(local broadcast flooding) Replace the current access control with access control applications? No(extra client-end software) OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

How to solve the problem ? Multiple options could be used Packet marking, tokens IPv6 PPP over Ethernet VPN OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

Two possible solutions Ethernet over IP Make a tunnel between routers, directly send Ethernet frames to the backbone. Authentication in subnet The router in the subnet acts as a firewall. Trust relationship with the ISP’s firewall. OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

Our choice Ethernet over IP There will be problems with all solutions, this solution should have the least problems. Advantages : Easy network system configuration Controlled broadcasting flooding by our “magic” OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

The design MAC Data Introduction Background Existing system Solution Management Conclusions Q & A

Limitations of the design Users can not actively open a connection to backbone or non Ethernet over IP subnets. Broadcast messages in the backbone may flood the subnets.

Tech Notes for Q&A

OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Notes: System Component Definition Registration(Configure) server: Provide service for registration end- user ISP preference DHCP relay: Provide dynamic end-user IP address configuration according to the user’s ISP configuration. Dynamic Filtering Firewall: Control the traffic flow from the open access network to ISPs according to the combination of end user’s MAC and IP Access Server: According to the user’s registration, send control request to filtering firewall and detect the online status of end users MAC-ISP DB server: store the user ’ s ISP preference and related mapping information Question & Answer (Tech)

OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Notes: System Function View Qusetion & Answer (Tech)

Notes: Solution Design Outline Use Ethernet over IP to connect the access subnet and the backbone. Prevent broadcasting from subnet to backbone. Allow broadcasting from backcone to subnet. Each access subnet has an address server that responds to ARP requests for IP addresses of well known services (public services and ISP firewall). Each access subnet has a DHCP relay OASIS – Open Access Server In Subnet Communication Systems Design 2002 KTH Question & Answer (Tech)
