Robert MacDavid will be presenting his MSE talk, "Enhanced Compression of Interdomain SDN Policies at Internet Exchange Points" on Thursday, May 5th, 2016 in CS 302. The members of his committee are Jennifer Rexford (adviser) and Nick Feamster. Title and abstract are below. All are invited to attend. Title: Enhanced Compression of Interdomain SDN Policies at Internet Exchange Points Abstract Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) capabilities are a promising way of shaping the future of interdomain traffic delivery on the Internet---allowing IXP participants to express flexible SDN policies on interdomain traffic. Unfortunately, it has proven difficult to compile interdomain traffic policies into forward table sizes reasonable for available commodity switches, and indeed this shows in state-of-the-art SDN-IXP implementations. To compile interdomain traffic SDN policies, available prefix routes must be factored in to ensure correctness, resulting in a forwarding table size explosion. To address the explosion problem, new compression techniques of forwarding table entries are required. In this talk, we discuss the design and analysis of such a compression technique, which allows near-optimal compilation size of SDN policies for IXPs with large numbers of participants

The MSE talk will take place in CS 302 on Thursday, May 5th, 2016 at 4pm.
