> you would like to meet with Morley Mao while she is here.
> Speaker: Professor Morley Mao, U. Michigan
> Title: Effective Diagnosis of Routing Disruptions from End Systems
> Date/time: 1:30-2:30pm Friday December 5
> Room: 102 in the CS building
>
> Abstract:
> Internet routing events are known to introduce severe disruption to
> application performance. So far effective diagnosis of routing events
> has relied on proprietary ISP data feeds, resulting in limited
> ISP-centric views not easily accessible by customers or other ISPs.
> In this work, we propose a novel approach to diagnosing significant
> routing events associated with any large networks from the perspective
> of end systems. Our approach is based on scalable, collaborative probing
> launched from end systems and does not require proprietary data from 
> ISPs.
> Using a greedy scheme for event correlation and root cause inference,
> we can diagnose both interdomain and intradomain routing events.
> Unlike existing methods based on passive route monitoring, our approach
> is able to measure the impact of routing events on end-to-end network
> performance as well. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach
> by studying five large ISPs over more than three and half months. We
> validate the accuracy of our approach by comparing with the existing
> ISP-centric method and with events reported on NANOG mailing lists.
> Our work is the first to scalably and accurately diagnose routing events
> associated with large networks purely from end systems.
