Managing future networks : a case study with Fibbing and Segment Routing

Future networks will have to cope with the ever growing mega trend toward Social medias (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc), online video streaming services (e.g. Netflix), or even Voice over IP (e.g. Skype, Facetime). However, these trends reveal different traffic patterns that network administrators would want to support in order to provide better services to their customers. Besides that, the emergence of more and more lucrative businesses on the Web coincides with an increase of massive DDoS attacks carried over the network. As a network administrator, you would want to quickly react to such attacks by deviating the suspicious traffic toward a Deep Pack Inspection tool. For all those reasons, we developed a management solution that works with Fibbing and Segment Routing for next generation networks, that network administrators can use to enforce network requirements. Our solution enables to specify requirements, on a per destination basis, that can be triggered by predefined conditions. This allows the management solution to automatically react to certain traffic patterns.Master [120] : ingénieur civil en informatique, Université catholique de Louvain, 201
