Title: Innovation is back in the transport and network layers

9:30 - 10:30

Keynote Speaker: Olivier Bonaventure, Universite catholique de Louvain, Belgium.

Session chair: Stefano Secci (UPMC, France)

Abstract

Many researchers represent the TCP/IP protocol suite by using the hourglass model. There is a wide variety of application layer protocols that use a wide variety of link-layer technologies but only a few protocols in the network and transport layers. Although the key principles of IPv6 have been known for almost 20 years, it only started to be deployed at a large scale during the last few years. The transport layer is another example of convervatism since most applications continue to rely on the venerable TCP and UDP protocols. After years of slow evolution, the IETF has recently agreed to change several of the key transport and network protocols. In this talk, I'll explore the motivations and the basic principles of three of these recently proposed protocols : Multipath TCP, IPv6 Segment Routing and QUIC. These three protocols, alone or combined, can affect network researchers because they open a new dimension in the way endhosts can interact with the network. This opens new possibilities for failure recovery, congestion control, traffic engineering, ...

 

Biography: Olivier Bonaventure is Professor at UCL in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium where he leads the IP Networking Lab. Together with his students, he has contributed to the design and implementation of various Internet protocols (BGP, LISP, Multipath TCP, IPv6 Segment Routing, Multipath QUIC, ...). This research received various best paper awards. Olivier Bonaventure is the current Editor of SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review where he encourages the publication of reproducible research.
