Abstract - A New Approach to Network Functions=

Modern networks do = far more than  just deliver packets, and provide network functions -- = including  firewalls, caches, and WAN optimizers — that are cruc= ial for scaling networks, ensuring security and enabling new applications.  Network functions were traditionally implemented u= sing dedicated hardware middleboxes, but in recent years they are increasin= gly being deployed as VMs on commodity servers. While many herald this move= towards network function virtualization (NFV) as a great step forward, I argue that accepted virtualization techni= ques are ill-suited to network functions. In this talk I describe NetBricks= — a new approach to building and running virtualized network functio= ns that speeds development and increases performance.

 

Abstract - Building= a better network through disaggregation

To improve performance, security, and reliability, network practiti= oners have, over time, moved away from the principle of a stateless network= and added stateful processing to the network with devices such as firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion dete= ction systems. In doing so, networks have become increasingly complex and b= rittle, because the state held in these devices (such as the connection tra= cking information in a firewall) is needed to process the traffic. The conventional approach forces practit= ioners to configure or architect the network to get the right traffic to th= e right (physical or virtual) appliance (i.e., where the relevant state is)= , and introduce costly, and sometimes ineffective, mechanisms to back up state (e.g., to recover from failures).=   In a world where agility is increasingly important, a new approach i= s needed. 

 

In this talk, we present our a network architecture based on disagg= regated network functions. Our foundational work breaks the underlying assu= mption that state needs to be tightly coupled to a specific device, the state is maintained separately and the n= etwork functions can access that state from anywhere and at any time throug= h a well-defined interface – creating a highly flexible network. = ; After years of research, we proved this architecture viable (publishing the results at NSDI), and now we are commercializing at= Stateless, Inc.  In this talk we will present the background and tech= nical details of this disaggregated architecture, discuss the challenges we= are currently working on, and the use cases driving the commercial adoption.
