Enhancements to Network Security
Operating system
New network stack – New code
Impervious to existing attacks
New attack code is require
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security –
Protects hosts
11
Conclusion
New code in the network stack
=
Your Network is more secure
12
Windows history
Network stack used in XP and Server 2003 (and
prior) was written for Windows 95
Pentium I – 100MHz
10 Mb/sec network
Modems
Only minor enhancements and fixes since
Stack is inefficient – Lots of latency
Code (by today’s standards) is inefficient
13
Network Performance
Enhancements
TCP Chimney
TCP-A (I/OAT)
Receive Window Auto-Tuning
SMB2 Protocol
Receive side scaling (RSS)
Compound TCP – cTCP Congestion Control
Policy-based Quality of Service (QoS)
Black-Hole Router detection (BHRD)
Dead Gateway Detection
14
Network Performance
Enhancements
TCP Chimney
TCP-A (I/OAT) Intel
Ideal for iSCSI implementations
15
Network Performance Enhancements
Receive Window Auto-Tuning
Dynamic allocated packet receive buffer
More in flight data – up to 16MB
If too much data, use QoS.
Max 16MB window @ 100ms ~ 1.34Gbps
16
Win 7 Performance – Auto Tuning
Testing between Windows 2K3 server to Win 7
client
Average latency is 180 ms round trip
Applications tested - TTCP, FTP, Xcopy
TTCP - 3259 KB/sec (26.07 Mbps*) 869% increase
FTP - 633 KB/sec (5.06 Mbps) 85% increase
Xcopy - 604 KB/sec (4.83 Mbps) 109% increase
17
Network Performance Enhancements
Receive Window Auto-Tuning
Data
The application layer passes a block of data
down to the Transport Layer (TCP). The
transport layer then sends the data to the
client.
Server
Client
Transport layer breaks the data up into
blocks equal to the maximum segment size
(MSS) for the link.
For Ethernet this is 1460 bytes.
18
Network Performance Enhancements
Receive Window Auto-Tuning
Let’s assume the advertised Window Size of the Client is 8760
bytes and the MSS is 1460 bytes.
Outstanding Packets = Window Size / MSS
Outstanding Packets = 8760 / 1460
Outstanding Packets = 6
The sender (Server in this case) can only have 6 outstanding
packets on the network at one time. It must stop sending until
it receives an acknowledgement for some or all of the packets
before sending more.
19
Network Performance Enhancements
Receive Window Auto-Tuning
Once the transport layer has sent the 6th packet, it
must stop until it receives an acknowledgement for
one or more of the transmitted packets.

Acknowledge 1 and 2
The client receives packets 1 and 2. Once it
receives packet number 2 it sends an
Acknowledgement back to the server indicated
that it successfully received the packets.
21
Cost of the delays in XP and
Server 2003?
Only way to get Gig out of Gig is to maintain a
sending a gig sending rate. Which is a 1.21
microsecond gap between packets.
Any delays in sending decreases throughput or
“dead air”
22
The cost of a delay
195 microseconds 195/1.21 = 160 packets.
180 microseconds 180/1.21 = 150 packets.
160,000packets = 242,880,000 Bytes or 240 MB
23
What is the right Window Size?
Receive Window Auto-Tuning
TCP Window Size =
Bandwidth * Roundtrip Delay
In previous version of Windows the buffer size was fixed
24
Network Performance Enhancements

A Microsoft 2000, XP, Server 2000,

will transfer data at gigabit speed.

Conclusion

=
Dramatic improvements in network
performance

History of Internet Protocols
Network Control Protocol (NCP)
First protocol used on the Internet
IPv4
Second generation protocol
NCP and IPv4 were run concurrently
Flag day January, 1, 1983
IPv6
Interplanetary Protocol
38
IPv6 Myths
IPv6 is experimental
No one is using IPv6 in production
My network won’t run IPv6
Microsoft is making a big mistake with IPv6
IPv6 is less secure than IPv4
IPv6 causes Win 7 to run slower
39
FACTS
We are running out of IPv4 addresses
IPv6 is the preferred protocol in Win 7 and
Server2008R2 and can not be removed
You been assigned an IPv6 address (Publicly assigned)
It can be used today
Linux and Apple already support IPv6
Microsoft’s implementation of IPv6 is feature rich
(compared to Apple and Linux)
40
Available IPv4 address by year
Grey – available IP address
Orange – Allocated IPv4
41
IPv6 is 2 128 addresses
340,282,366,920,938,000,000,000,000,000,000
,000,000 addresses

IPv6 is 2 128 addresses
340,282,366,920,938,000,000,000,000,000,000
,000,000 addresses
43
How big is 2 128 or
340,282,366,920,938,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000?
If the IPv4 address space is size of one atomic
nucleus big, the IPv6 address space would
require a month of light-speed travel to reach.
Thanks to Sean Siler at Microsoft for this clever way of
to explain just how large the address space is.
44
Think Global…
Microsoft was brilliant for implementing IPv6
Thanks to Microsoft for doing this
IPv6 in Win 7 and Server 2008R2
Ipv6 addressing and routing is easier
No need for NAT
Most Application just work
Microsoft has made a commitment to IPv6
New MS software will support IPv6

Why IPv6?
Security
IPv4 security was an add-in
IPv6 has IPSEC integrated
Any IPv6 communication can automatically
do authentication, message integrity and
encryption or any combination of those
52
Saves time No network
IPv6 the following settings are optional
Subnet masks
No need for a subnet calculator
Default Gateways
DNS Servers
DHCP Servers

6to4
It is a standard: IETF RFC 3056
6to4 is a tunneling technology
Allows communication across the IPv4 Internet
by tunneling IPv6 inside IPv4 packets to get to
the IPv6 Internet through gateways
58

Teredo
Teredo provides IPv4 NAT traversal capabilities
by tunneling IPv6 inside of IPv4 using UDP
Teredo provides IPv6 connectivity when behind
an Internet IPv4 NAT device
Is designed to be a universal method for NAT
traversal for most types of NAT use
62
Something to think about….
With Teredo can boarder firewalls offer
protection needed for today’s networks?
Or do they offer a false sense of security?
What about IPv6 bot Nets?
63

Watching for IPv6 traffic on your network
Use a packet Analyzers – NetMon or Wireshark
66
Router Venders Support for IPv6
Native IPv6:
IPv6 native routing protocols
Cisco, Juniper
Most are providing software upgrades to
support native IPv6 deployments on existing
hardware
Cisco IOS 12.3+ mainline code has IPv6 support
67
If I can do it, so can Microsoft
IPv6 Infrastructure In Redmond
ISATAP available in all buildings
world-wide
Native v6 connectivity in all development
buildings world-wide
68
Impact on IT Professionals
IPv6 only hardware/software is on the way
Smart cell phones
PDAs
Web cameras
Law enforcement
Cars
MP3 players
Next generation operating systems
69
Impact on Customer Networks
Test firewalls, are they IPv6 aware?
Many allow IPv6 traffic to pass un-checked
Is this the end of boarder firewalls?
Teredo was designed to pass through NAT
