Dimitri Stiliadis, CTO and Co-founder of Nuage Networks, introduced the Nuage Networks Virtual Services Assurance Platform (VSAP) during the Tech Field Day Extra at ONUG Spring 2015. The platform is designed to enhance the operationalization of virtual networks and data center networks by addressing key aspects such as event correlation, error handling, and multi-vendor support. Stiliadis emphasized the importance of optimizing the IT delivery loop, which involves deploying, designing, and operating applications efficiently. The goal of Nuage Networks is to remove network-related obstacles from the IT service delivery process, thereby accelerating the overall IT delivery cycle.

The VSAP aims to provide comprehensive visibility and control over both virtual and physical network layers. Stiliadis explained that while Nuage Networks initially focused on creating abstractions and policy-based mechanisms for application developers, it became evident that operations teams were underrepresented. These teams needed tools to maintain applications and networks at peak performance. The VSAP addresses this by offering a route monitor that peers with physical networks to reconstruct a complete graph of the layer three topology. This includes using standard protocols like BGP and OSPF to gather data and correlate events across both the physical and virtual layers. The platform also utilizes SNMP to gather layer two information, ensuring a detailed understanding of the network’s physical infrastructure.

The platform’s correlation engine plays a crucial role in analyzing and correlating events from the network. It logs every event, such as route updates and interface changes, and correlates them to provide insights into network performance and issues. This allows operations teams to trace back and understand the root causes of network problems, even after the fact. The VSAP also offers proactive monitoring tools, such as continuity tests between virtual machines, to ensure network reliability. Additionally, the platform supports multi-vendor environments, demonstrating compatibility with various third-party switches and routers. This flexibility, combined with the ability to provide actionable insights and suggestions for network issues, makes the VSAP a valuable tool for maintaining robust and efficient network operations.


Tech Field Day Extra Roundtable – IPv4 and IPv6

Event: Tech Field Day Extra at Interop Las Vegas 2015

Appearance: Tech Field Day Extra Roundtables at Interop 2015

Personnel: Tom Hollingsworth

The Tech Field Day Extra delegates at Interop Las Vegas 2015 delved into the ongoing transition from IPv4 to IPv6, highlighting the complexities and market dynamics involved. The discussion began with the observation that companies are now engaging in the transfer and rental of IPv4 addresses due to the scarcity of available IPv4 space. This scarcity has led to the emergence of a marketplace where IPv4 addresses can be bought and sold, reflecting the high demand and limited supply. The delegates noted that while this aftermarket provides a temporary solution, it is not sustainable in the long term, as the remaining IPv4 addresses are rapidly depleting. The conversation also touched on the fact that many legacy IPv4 addresses are not managed by ARIN, further complicating the situation.

Despite the pressing need for IPv6 adoption, the delegates observed significant resistance from enterprises, particularly in regions like the UK and Europe, where there is a general lack of urgency. Many enterprises possess sufficient IPv4 address space and do not feel the immediate pressure to transition. The discussion highlighted that for most enterprises, IPv6 is not a priority compared to other pressing networking issues such as software-defined networking (SDN), application firewalls, and the shift from 1 gig to 10 gig networks. The delegates emphasized that while IPv6 has been on the radar for over a decade, it often takes a backseat to more immediate concerns. However, they acknowledged that certain sectors, such as mobile operators and large-scale enterprises, are more proactive in adopting IPv6 due to the limitations and costs associated with IPv4.

The roundtable also explored specific use cases where IPv6 adoption is more critical. For instance, the mobile market in the United States has seen significant IPv6 adoption, with major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile reporting over 50% native IPv6 traffic. This shift is driven by the need to reduce the costs and resource consumption associated with dual-stack connections. Additionally, the Internet of Things (IoT) and large-scale enterprises with extensive internal networks are identified as key drivers for IPv6 adoption. The delegates concluded that while IPv6 may not be an immediate concern for all enterprises, it is essential for network professionals to be educated about it and to implement appropriate policies and procedures to manage its integration effectively.
