1. Introduction of An Engineering Project for KOREN/APII 2003. 8. 27 Seung-Joon Seok Korea University

2. Project Overview  Project Title is “A Study of Traffic Engineering in KOREN/APII Testbed”  Grant of NCA (National Computerization Agency)  Project Period is 1.5 year (from July 2003 to Dec. 2004)  Participants

3. Project Goal  Improvement of Network Engineering Capability for KOREN and APII  Activation of Cooperative Research Group (KESG) in KOREN  Activation of Cooperative Research Interchange between KOREN & QGPOP

4. Project’s Overall Research Area  This Project treats the issues of KOREN/APII Traffic Engineering Optimizing KOREN’s Network Performance Improving International Resource Utilization Preventing KOREN from anomalies

6. 1. Network Measurement Area  Measurement System is a Key Infrastructure for Network Management.  In this project, Measurement is needed as a base technology for the other areas: security, performance management in KOREN, and international performance management. Management Area Other Areas Collaboration Developing Traffic Engineering Mechanisms Collecting & Analyzing Traffic Information

7. 1.2 Our Research Topics  Developing & Deploying an Efficient Measurement Infrastructure. First, Deploying a Measurement System covering entire KOREN/APII Links and using current open tools to collect basic information about KOREN status. Next, Developing a KOREN Measurement System to support Traffic Engineering & Security efficiently.  How to Interchange Measurement Information between KOREN & other networks (QGPOP, APAN …)  Providing Other Research Areas with indispensable information about KOREN & other networks

8. 2. Performance Engineering in KOREN Area  Now Traffic Engineering for KOREN have to be considered because Over-Engineering is limited Simply Balancing Network Load Optimizing Network Resource Utilization  Supporting User Requirements for End-to-End Performance through Edge-to-Edge Traffic Control  Two Issues should be considered simultaneously for KOREN Traffic Engineering.

9. 2.1 Our Research Topics  Deploying Traffic Engineering System in KOREN NOC & Developing Traffic Engineering Mechanism To collect network information To control network traffic according to engineering policy  KOREN Edge-to-Edge Performance Information Service To show end users edge-to-edge performance information through Web Service To recommend a application a best path supporting user application requirements and not hurting traffic engineering goals simultaneously

10. 3. Int. Performance Management Area  Oversea links should be effectively managed because they have limited resources.  KOREN can’t exactly control BGP operations by itself. Received Information is up to neighbor domains (QGPOP). So KOREN needs to cooperate with neighbor for International Performance Management.  BGP Protocol’s imperfection considerably affects KOREN Interior Performance. So this area needs to be collaborated with Performance Engineering in KOREN area intimately.

11. 3.1 Our Research Topics  Routing Technology for Oversea Link (APII- GENKAI) Management Detecting & Correcting Asymmetric BGP Path Load Balancing Mechanisms for Oversea links (APII- GENKAI)  Developing BGP Error Detection & Report System  To make overall map to show users/NOC BGP path at a glance

12. 4. Network Security Area  Distributed Denial-of-Service (DOS) is to deny the victim(s) access to a particular resource/service consumption of scarce, limited, or non-renewable resources destruction or alteration of configuration information physical destruction or alteration of network components  Attacks are detected using their inherent statistical characteristics

13. 4.1 What Can ISPs Do for DOS?  Deploy source address anti-spoof filters (very important!).  Turn off directed broadcasts.  Develop security relationships with neighbor ISPs.  Set up mechanism for handling customer security complaints.  Develop traffic volume monitoring techniques.

14. 4.2 Our Research Topics  Algorithm for dynamic and adaptive attack detection  Traceback mechanism to find original attackers.  Implementation & Deployment of Network Security system A central network security system Monitoring & filtering elements
