Hello Justine,

I find it interesting, to say the least, that all of the communication that you have about a Berkeley research program while your email came from washington.edu?

Thanks,

Hello! My name is Justine and I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley (http://cs.berkeley.edu/~justine).

I'm doing a research project on middlebox appliances such as proxies, WAN optimizers, and firewalls. Middlebox appliances are any networking-related hardware other than routers and switches. I'd like to learn a little bit about how middleboxes are used in real world deployments in enterprises. Vendors often engage in surveys of this type - but the research community knows less than we'd like to about typical concerns in an enterprise network.

If you work on network management in an enterprise, I'd love to hear about your experiences through this survey: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dHo1NGZ3eU04SlBaSnNsSlBYZGNYSlE6MQ#gid=0

Some promises: (1) If you give me your email address, I will not give it to anyone else, nor will I add you to any annoying mailing lists. (2) If you mention the name of your organization, I will not share it with anyone else. (3) If I publish any data from this, statistics will be reported in aggregate. (4) I will not share the raw data from this survey with anyone other than my advisor, Professor Sylvia Ratnasamy (sylvia@eecs.berkeley.edu).

Feel free to skip questions and please provide approximate answers if you have them.

Finally, to thank you for your time, we'll enter you in to a lottery for a $100 Amazon gift card; we'll select two people to win and contact them on November 16. Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Justine

PS: The survey is here! Don't miss it! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dHo1NGZ3eU04SlBaSnNsSlBYZGNYSlE6MQ#gid=0

I used to be at the UW; I registered for this list using my UW email address. Rather than re-register in order to be able to post to the list, I just sent from my old email address.

The survey is linked from my homepage and the UW affiliation is mentioned: http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~justine/

I've met Justine and can vouch for her serious, laser-focused interest in middlebox research, and that if she's not really attending Cal then she's bamboozled a whole heap of CS profs over there. But seriously, if you can help her ascertain real middlebox use cases she wants to help improve that segment of networking via useful research, nothing more or less. -Scott

Would love to see the results, although it definitely is catered more to

enterprise than ISP (where many of these are probably used more than in enterprise).

Unfotunately ISPs are deploying many middle boxen, frequently in series, for various reasons...cough cough cgn. Given that these middle box infested ISPs are supposed to be providing "internet", that seems like more fertile research grounds, as the definition of internet is starting to shift ...at least imho. Cb

It's missing a small datapoint. What types of failures are most likely to occur?(Physical/electrical, Misconfiguration, Overload)

heh, Until IPv6 is a mainstream, I don't think wireless companies (and soon wireline) have much choice on CGN. I believe there are plenty of CGN products that handle as much or more pps than my Juniper MX960 does. My last DDOS killed the egress pps on 2 of my NSP transits. Neither could send 2Mpps of traffic to me (ie, neither was line rate at 43bytes). I'm confused as to the 6to4 gateway state. Last I checked, all my 6to4 is stateless. My load balancers are also stateless. IPS can be deployed sidelined with hardware packet mirroring and remote updates to router ACLs. I recognize that ISPs may not keep DDOS in mind and reduce state when possible, but there is current tech that can limit state and still deploy the same services. CGN is the exception to the rule, and I've yet to see a way around it in a depleted IPv4 Internet (but as stated, most CGN is designed to handle state to the same performance levels as current router tech).
