11. Middleboxes & Network Evolution New Devices New Apps Evolving Threats Policy Constraints Performance, Security
12. Middleboxes Type of appliance Number Firewalls 166 NIDS 127 Media gateways 110 Load balancers 67 Proxies 66 VPN gateways 45 WAN Optimizers 44 Voice gateways 11 Total Middleboxes 636 Total routers ~900 (Sherry et al, SIGCOMM’ 12) via Erranli • Data from a large enterprise: >80K users across tens of sites • Just network security $10 billion
13. Many Boxes Survey across 57 enterprise networks (Sherry et al, SIGCOMM’ 12) via Erranli
14. Things to Keep in Mind • A middlebox is any traffic processing device except for routers and switches. • Why do we need them? – Security – Performance • They can break end-to-end semantics (e.g., load balancing) Deployments of middlebox functionalities: • Embedded in switches and routers (e.g., packet filtering) • Specialized devices with hardware support of SSL acceleration, DPI, etc. • Virtual vs. Physical Appliances • Local (i.e., in-site) vs. Remote (i.e., in-the-cloud) deployments
15. HW Middleboxes – Drawbacks • Expensive equipment/power costs • Difficult to add new features (vendor lock-in) • Difficult to manage • Cannot be scaled on demand (peak planning)
16. Network Function Virtualization
17. Middlebox Virtualization - NFV & VNF Virtual NF (VNF): • Software implementation of a network function capable of running over NFV infrastructure Advantage of NFV • Use standard COTS hardware (e.g., high volume servers, storage) – reduces CAPEX and OPEX • Fully implement functionality in software – reducing development and deployment cycle times, opening up the R&D market • Consolidate equipment types – reducing power consumption • Optionally concentrate network functions in datacenters – obtaining further economies of scale and enabling rapid scale-up and scale-down
18. Potential VNFs Potential Virtual NF • Switching elements: – Ethernet switch, Broadband Network Gateway, CG-NAT, router • Mobile network nodes: – HLR/HSS, MME, SGSN, GGSN/PDN-GW, RNC, NodeB, eNodeB • Residential nodes: home router and set-top box functions • Tunnelling gateway elements: IPSec/SSL VPN gateways • Traffic analysis: DPI, QoE measurement • QoS: service assurance, SLA monitoring, test and diagnostics • NGN signaling: SBCs, IMS • Converged and network-wide functions: – AAA servers, policy control, charging platforms • Application-level optimization: – CDN, cache server, load balancer, application accelerator • Security functions: firewall, virus scanner, IDS/IPS, spam protection
19. Potential VNFs
20. NFV Use Cases • NFV Infrastructure as a Service • VNF as a Service • Virtual Network Platform as a Service • Virtualization of CDN • Virtualization of Mobile Core Networks and IMS • Virtualization of Mobile Base Station • Fixed Access Network Function Virtualization • Virtualization of Home Environment
21. NFV Use Case – Example Virtualization of Evolved Packet Core (cellular core networks)
