Folks, Xin Sun and I will present and lead a discussion on our work: "Modeling Complexity of Enterprise Routing Design": Xin Sun (Florida International University), Sanjay Rao (Purdue University) and Geoffrey Xie (Naval Postgraduate School). This presentation is based on a paper that will appear in the ACM CoNext conference in December this year. A pointer to the full paper is here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~sanjay/conext12-complexity.pdf Briefly, in this work we have looked at characterizing the complexity of routing designs in an enterprise network. There are many feasible design choices that operators face to meet the same goal (e.g., how many distinct groups of routers/router instances are needed, how to connect these groups.. e.g., redistribution/static routes/BGP etc.). Our goal is to present a systematic framework by which multiple routing designs could be analyzed with a view to identifying ones that are more/less complex. Our framework should allow for what-if explorations, e.g., if we were change certain aspects of the design, what would be the impact on complexity etc. We have also used our framework to study the Purdue University network, and have many interesting findings that might be of interest to practitioners. In addition, we have a tool that we have released publically for analyzing and visualizing the routing design of enterprise networks after parsing configuration files. That tool is here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~isl/rvtool/ We would love to get all of your feedback on this. We are actively pushing this work forward, and we think it could benefit tremendously with inputs from practitioners. Hope to see all of you in Atlanta. If you can't make it, we would still love your feedback by email. Thanks and Regards, Sanjay ----------------------- Sanjay G.
