Dear Sándor,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As indicated from the EIT Digital Infrastructure
pre-call workshop, I would like to explore potential common
interests in deeply programmable networks. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The background is based on the FP7 UNIFY project
(coordinated by Ericsson Hungary) and our results produced at
SICS, oriented at using and aggregating data plane counters
locally as input to low-complexity but sophisticated predictor
models. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">One of the main challenges towards programmable
networks is related to scalable monitoring or network
observability. Current OF mechanisms and switches do not allow
for local deployment of observability points (or monitoring
processes) which severely limits the granularity and usefulness
of the monitoring information, among other things. Another
challenge regards effective deployment mechanisms and
implementation of observability capabilities in a switch with
low processing overhead to avoid bottlenecks caused by
monitoring.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So far we have developed the concept of
observability points in terms of a light-weight low-complexity
model for predicting persistent congestion episodes at buffer
fill time, using only two data plane counters. The offer and
interest in a potential collaboration is to take this concept
further into implementing relevant mechanisms needed for
enabling and supporting observability of programmable networks
by flexible deployment of monitoring mechanisms. Being able to
define and deploy observability points by the use of P4 and a
compiler without modifying the switch kernel could be an
interesting case and a step further.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If this sounds interesting and relevant to the
project you have in mind, let me know and we can setup a call
(or meet at the EIT PE in Brussels).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
<div class="">rebste</div>
