competing network
standard for carrying
high-speed voice/data
 standards bodies:
– ATM Forum
– ITU
ATM principles:

small (48 byte payload, 5
byte header) fixed length
cells (like packets)
– fast switching
– small size good for voice


virtual-circuit network:
switches maintain state
for each “call”

Design Philosophy of Internet Protocols
1. Effective for multiplexed utilization of existing
interconnected networks
– Packet switching
– Gateways to interconnect networks: router
2. Second level goals
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Survivability in the face of failure: stateless, fate sharing
Support multiple types of communication services
Accommodate a variety of networks
Permit distributed management of its resources
Cost effective
Host attachment with a low level of effort
Be accountable
Prof. Younghee Lee
Less
important
25
25
Design Philosophy of Internet Protocols

Problems
– Inefficiency
– High cost of attaching a host to the Internet
– Poor implementation or malicious implementations may hurt the
network as well as host

Soft-state
–
–
–
–

Announce state
Refresh state
Timeout state
Penalty for timeout – poor performance
Flow concept
– Robust way to identify communication flows
» Possible mechanism to provide non-best effort service
Prof. Younghee Lee
26
26
End-to-End Argument
 Rationale:
Moving function upward in a layered
system, closer to the application that uses the
function
– Application requirements  the function
 Think
twice before implementing a functionality
that you believe that is useful to an application
at a lower layer
 If the application can implement a functionality
correctly, implement it a lower layer only as a
performance enhancement

Example: Reliable File Transfer
Host A
Host B
Appl.
OS

Appl.
OK
OS
Solution 1: make each step reliable, and then concatenate them
– Requires correct programs for systematic countering of threats
» Program for file transfer. What about other applications?
– Acceptably small probability of each of the individual threat
» Brute force countermeasures e.g.) doing 3 times => uneconomical

Solution 2: end-to-end check and retry
– Multiple e2e check & retry? => some part of the system is in need of repair
– Local error control vs e2e error control
Prof. Younghee Lee
29
29
Discussion

Solution 1 not complete
– What happens if the sender or/and receiver misbehave?





The receiver has to do the check anyway!
Thus, full functionality can be entirely implemented at
application layer; no need for reliability from lower
layers
Is there any need to implement reliability at lower
layers?
Yes, but only to improve performance
Example:
– assume a high error rate on communication network
– then, a reliable communication service at datalink layer might
help
Prof. Younghee Lee
30
30
Trade-offs


Application has more information about the data and the
semantic of the service it requires (e.g., can check only at
the end of each data unit)
A lower layer has more information about constraints in data
transmission (e.g., packet size, error rate)
– Note: these trade-offs are a direct result of layering!
 Rule
of Thumb
– Implementing a functionality at a lower level
should have minimum performance impact on the
application that do not use the functionality
Prof. Younghee Lee
31
31
Other Examples
 Secure
transmission of data
– CDMA eavesdropping case in Korea
 Duplicate
message suppression
 Transaction management
 RISC vs. CISC
Prof. Younghee Lee
32
32
Internet & End-to-End Argument


At network layer provides one simple service: best effort datagram
(packet) delivery
Only one higher level service implemented at transport layer: reliable
data delivery (TCP)
– performance enhancement; used by a large variety of applications (Telnet,
FTP, HTTP)
– does not impact other applications (can use UDP)


Everything else implemented at application level
Why ?
– 1. The complexity of the core network is reduced, which reduces costs and
facilitates future upgrades to the network.
– 2. Generality in the network increases the chances that a new application can
be added without having to change the core of the network.
– 3. Applications do not have to depend on the successful implementation and
operation of application-specific services in the network, which may increase
their reliability.
Prof. Younghee Lee
33
33
Internet & End-to-End Argument

Occam’s razor
– "Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily."
» "God's existence cannot be deduced by reason alone."
– "when you have two competing theories which make exactly the
same predictions, the one that is simpler is the better.“
» "If you have two theories which both explain the observed facts then you
should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"
» "The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be
accurate than more complicated explanations."
» "If you have two equally likely solutions to a problem, pick the simplest."
» "The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be
correct."
» Many scientific researches : Newton, Einstein, Heisenberg, Steven Hawking…..

Communication subsystem is frequently specified before
applications that use the subsystem are known: What I had done
during around 1987 ~ 1993.
» May be tempted to take on more function than necessary
» E2e to reduce such temptations
Prof. Younghee Lee
34
34
Key Advantages


The service can be implemented by a large variety of
network technologies
Does not require routers to maintain any fined grained
state about traffic. Thus, network architecture is
– Robust
– Scalable

What About Other Services?
– Multicast?
– Quality of Service (QoS)?
Prof. Younghee Lee
35
35
Problem of e2e arguments

Inefficiency
– End hosts do the network level functions such as retransmission,
congestion control


Difficulties to implement some functions which need network level
control information
Inappropriate implementation hurt the network as well as the hosts
– Greedy sources aren’t handled well



Weak accounting and pricing tools
Weak administration and management tools
Incremental deployment difficult at times
– Result of no centralized control: distributed control needed to be upgraded
» Too many systems at the same time to upgrade: No more “flag” days
– Are active networks the solution?
Prof. Younghee Lee
36
36
Summary: End-to-End Arguments

If the application can do it, don’t do it at a lower
layer -- anyway the application knows the best
what it needs
– add functionality in lower layers iff it is (1) used and
improves performances of a large number of
applications, and (2) does not hurt other applications

Success story: Internet
Prof. Younghee Lee
37
37
Tussle Design Principles

Design for variation in outcome
– Allow design to be flexible to different uses/results

Isolate tussles
– QoS designs isolate ToS bits from other parts of
packet : ToS : tussle space -> network IP level
– Separate QoS decisions from application design
» Port: tussle space -> service provider or applications

Provide choice
– Creates competition  fear between providers
– Helps shape the tussle
Prof. Younghee Lee
38
38
Tussle Design Principles

The future of e2e arguments
– Innovation
» Core of network modification for new application -> high hurdle, unproven
– Reliability and robustness
» If Bits of application are “in the network” => increase the number of points of failure
 Processing module for certain application services
» The more simple the core of the network, the more reliable it’s likely to be
–
–
–
–
Evolution and enhancement of existing, mature applications is inevitable
The most we can do to protect maturing applications is to bias the tussle
Keeping the net open and transparent for new applications is the most important goal
Failures of transparency will occur-fault reporting- for tussle management (not only for tool
of fault repair)
– Peeking is irresistible
– Separation of policy and mechanism: value-neutral

Lesson for designer
– Failure of QoS deployment:
» ISP to deploy QoS: Why risk investment in this case?; value-transfer mechanism possibility of being rewarded
» User need to be able to exercise choice to select the ISP: competitive fear: ToS routing-through another ISP?
– Analyze the tussle: surrounding context
– Powerful force is “Tussle of competition”
» Protocol design by creating opportunities for competition => direction of evolution
Prof. Younghee Lee
39
39
Rethinking the design of the Internet

Application level function can’t be built in the core of the
network
– Should be implemented with the knowledge and help of the applications
at the end host

But
– Operation in an untrustworthy world: attacks on end-point, spam email, ..
» need more mechanism in the center of the network to enforce “good” behavior.
Police in the network?
– More demanding applications: QoS?
» Installing stream servers close to the recipient?
– ISP service differentiation
– The rise of third party involvement: taxation to law enforcement, public
safety, blocking of certain content
– Less sophisticated users: ease of use, cell-phone, PDA,
Prof. Younghee Lee
40
40
Rethinking the design of the Internet
 Technical
responses
– The different forms of e2e arguments
» Two version: 1. best effort, 2. to the design of applications, some
intermediate server?
» Modify the e2e: placement of function at the edge of the network for deleting
spam, pornography, eavesdrop on suspected terrorists
» Adding functions to the core of the network
 (Firewalls, traffic filters, NAT)
 Stream of data must be routed through the device
– Control element into the path of communication
 The device must have ability to see what sort of information is in the
stream
– Revealing or hiding the content of messages
» Labels on information
» Trusted third parties: public-key certificates
Prof. Younghee Lee
41
41
A critical review of e2e arguments in
system design
 E2e
arguments
– Firewalls, caches and NATs, active networks, multicasting
and network QoS
 Ends?
– People
– File transfer applications?
– TCP?
» Applications should check integrity according to the e2e arguments.
» 1. application writers do not wish to be burdened with xxx
 What about banking?
» 2. error rate within the end system is negligible
» Can’t be justified on the basis of e2e arguments, => trust base
Prof. Younghee Lee
42
42
A critical review of e2e arguments in
system design
 Performance
– Performance benefits of localized implementation
» Error control: localized error recovery => good for latency, network load
» Multicasting: overlay multicast?
» QoS: ATM, DiffServ, IntServ, ..
– Performance benefits of e2e implementation
» Less processing required in the network
 Simple or stupid network: more scaleable
» Easier to design and change
– It’s not possible to generalize the performance implications
of e2e implementations
 Redundancy
of local implementation, network
transparency, ease of deployment, decentralism
Prof. Younghee Lee
43
43
A critical review of e2e arguments in
system design

Responsibility and Trust
– Ends?: Transport layer <= need trust

Mature operational commercial environment?
– E2e check is not weekly needed
– Military, R&D network case; unstable environment

Security
– “Commercial Off The Shelf(COTS) won’t divulge secret information? =>
link level encryption to use COTS e2e


Routing: Source routing?
Congestion control
–
–
–
–
–
Congestion? => network layer problem
End point : altruistic? Selfish?
Unnecessary performance penalty: slow start
Hard to detect congestion at end node
Network knows when and where adaptation is needed
Prof. Younghee Lee
44
44
The Traditional Internet

Best effort service.
– Network makes honest
effort to deliver data

Network is black box.
– Users have no information
about expected
performance

User
User
?
Works well for many
applications.
– Byte streaming (ftp, web)
– Interactive data (telnet)

But the network provides
no help for more advanced
applications.
– Reservations, proactive
feedback, QoS
optimization
Prof. Younghee Lee
45
45
Integrated Services Networks
The Rosy Picture

Network offers a choice of
network quality of service
(QoS).
– guaranteed bandwidth,
“gold” service, ..
– Negotiate expected
performance and service
– Can get predictable
network performance


Network QoS will enable a
rich set of value-added
electronic services.
– Use wide range of
resources
– Controllable quality/cost
– Services adapt to network
and system conditions
Prof. Younghee Lee
46
46
Why Is It Not Happening?

Network QoS model is too
primitive.
– Large gap between network and
application QOS
– Too low level; hard to use

Applications have insufficient
information about the network to
make informed decisions.
– Am I using a modem or a gigabit
Ethernet?
– Where can I get more bandwidth

