    Internet traffic shaping for IP over WDM links with source output buffering or multiple parallel wavelengths
    (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001) Aracil Rico, Javier; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Morató Osés, Daniel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    Since the number of wavelengths per fiber is growing in an exponential fashion the over- flow traffic can be routed through overflow lightpaths, thus providing an ideal network with near-infinite capacity and almost no-buffering. Such unprecedented bandwidth growth in the network backbone is only limited by the processing speed of the electronic elements. Even though multiple parallel high-speed channels (lightpaths) are provided between IP routers the switching speed of the latter is an order of magnitude below the lightpath transmission speed. As a result, minimizing transfer delay is not only a matter of forwarding traffic as fast as possible but to shape traffic so that the input queues of the destination routers do not over-flow. Even though it is desirable to exploit the WDM capabilities to forward traffic in parallel channels in order to nearly eliminate the router output buffering, it turns out that the extreme burstiness of Internet traffic is even increased by routing part of the traffic through a backup channel. Instead, the use of source output buffering for traffic shaping purposes proves more beneficial. In this paper, we examine the typical scenario of a static WDM network with several wavelengths between IP routers. In a simple configuration of a primary and over flow lightpath the results show that if 3% of the traffic is routed through the over flow lightpath then the packet forwarding speed in the destination router should be increased in 20% in order to obtain the same transfer delay as with the single lightpath configuration with source output buffering.

    Predicción de tráfico de Internet and aplicaciones
    (2001) Bernal, I.; Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Díez Marca, L. A.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In this paper we focus on traffic prediction as a means to achieve dynamic bandwidth allocation in a generic Internet link. Our findings show that coarse prediction (bytes per interval) proves advantageous to perform dynamic link dimensioning, even if we consider a part of the top traffic producers in the traffic predictor.

    Use of CBR for IP over ATM
    (SPIE, 1997) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Donézar, C.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    Internet traffic burstiness allows for statistical multiplexing gain in the available bandwidth of an ATM link. However, a dynamic allocation bandwidth assignment (ABR) has to be performed. In this paper we evaluate the real advantages of ABR versus CBR for Internet service provisioning. We consider performance parameters such as connection setup delay and active waiting time due to flow control and show that CBR schemes can be a good alternative for Internet service provisioning over ATM networks.

    The ETOMIC active probing infrastructure: demo proposal
    (2006) Csabai, István; Hága, Péter; Simon, Gábor; Stéger, József; Vattay, Gábor; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    ETOMIC (www.etomic.org) is a European Union sponsored effort, that aims at providing a Paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure. This infrastructure contains 15 PC based active probing nodes equipped with high-precision, sending capable DAG cards and GPS receivers to achieve time synchronization. Such cards are specifically designed to transmit packet trains with strict timing, in the range of nanoseconds. Every kind of active probing techniques can be applied on the nodes, from the quite simple ping application to the complex network tomography methods which are based on the synchronized sending capability of the DAG cards. The measurement nodes are centrally managed via a web platform, where the new arbitrary measurement jobs can be uploaded to and handled. The management system schedules the jobs and does the maintenance tasks. Now, the infrastructure is opened to the networking community. This paper describes the node architectures, the management system, and the proposed conference demonstration.

    Monitorización activa de altas prestaciones mediante la plataforma paneuropa ETOMIC
    (2005) Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardos; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Aracil Rico, Javier; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Aracil Rico, Javier; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In this paper we present the first set of active measurements that we have made using the ETOMIC system. ETOMIC is a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. Specific hardware is used in order to provide high-precision transmission and reception capabilities. Besides, the system is open and any experiment can be executed. Internet measurements with high infrastructure requirements are now possible like one-way delay, routes and topology changing, congestion detection and virtual path aggregation detection. We will explain the results and how easy is to implement these measurements using the tools provided by ETOMIC, specially the API for using the specific sending and receiving capabilities.
