Background of the IPANA project

The wide and ever-growing usage of Internet and the birth of new Internet applications ( e.g. telephony and video conference ) requires a smooth transition to network components providing both the old and new services. This has caused development of new label swapping  protocols for Internet routing, to make it possible to use  broadband technologies like the ATM in the transmission level.

Several solutions to do this task have been suggested by different parties e.g. Classical IP over ATM, ATM Forum LAN Emulation and ATM Forum Multiprotocol Over ATM (MPOA).

IPSILON Inc. introduced in the spring of 1996 the concept of IP switching, where the functionality of internet routers and ATM switches was combined.

After Ipsilon Inc. have several other parties proposed  their own versions including CISCO's Tag Switching, IBM's Aggregate Route-Based IP Switching (ARIS), Juha Heinänen's Switching IP Through ATM (SITA), Toshiba's Cell Switch Router (CSR) and the MPLS-workgroup's Multiprotocol Label Swapping (MPLS).  As the latest one is there now coming Augmented IP Protocol (AIRP). All of those technologies are usually called the IP swapping, and their basic technical ideas are also compared.

The basic idea behind the IP switching is to reduce the workload of the router by switching long-lived data flows, containing relatively large amounts of data, to separate ATM-connections. This concept is rather simple, but  contains also several challenging issues to be solved, e.g. Quality of Service, CAC and resource allocation.  Especially in my topic, implementation and optimization  of a large IP switched network opens a huge problem area.

Research done in theIPANA project

A lot of preliminary studies, theses and articles have been made in the IPANA project before I come to it, and I may refer to the respective pages and articles of my colleagues.

We also have in our lab a non-working research network, which is implemented by using  IPSILON technology. There are also multimedia traffic sources and the measurement equipment's available in the research network.

I have been working unto now with my Master Thesis  "An Implementation of the Server Cache Synchronisation Protocol (SCSP)"

MASTER THESIS

My Master Thesis is titled "An Implementation of the Server Cache Synchronisation Protocol (SCSP) "

Initially, the SCSP algorithm establishes the data synchronisation among a set of server entities of a particular protocol which are bound to a Server Group (SG). After that it maintains an actively mirroring state of any change in every cache information that form the SG.

The program implemented is based on an object-oriented software environment. This leads to a modular implementation. Different processes take place between each "Local Server" (LS) and its "Direct Connected Server" (DCS). The protocol code (which is written in C++) facilitates an easy translation to new communication architectures and services in a rapidly changing scenario. In that way the platform-dependence was minimised using the software functions provided by Free Software Foundation, GNU". UNIX, is the operating system chosen for the software development. UNIX provides enough speed to the protocol performance in those situations where the data replication is important for the system which is using the SCSP.

The basic structures used by the program were developed following the Management Information Base (MIB) specifications. The purpose is to permit later interactions with an SNMP agent, which checks the correct functioning of the protocol.

The most important application of this software package is focused in the IP Telephony and the new emerging directory services. For those services it is necessary to manage large amounts of information that is stored in distributed databases that need to be efficiently updated and replicated.
