IETF 97 - Thursday Tech Talk Speaker Series
Date: Thursday, November 17th
Time: 12:30 - 13:15
Room: Grand Ballroom 2
(Note: Lunch not provided)
Speaker: Andrew G. Malis, Huawei Distinguished Engineer
Topic: QUasi Assured Network Transport (QUANT)
Topic Description:
With more and more fixed and mobile services requiring ultra low latency and/or
assured bandwidth, such as Vehicles-To-Vehicles, interactive 4/8K video, and
augmented and virtual reality, a number of Standards Development Organizations
have already started related initiatives. Examples of these include Flex
Ethernet (OIF), Time Sensitive Networking (IEEE802.1TSN), DetNet (IETF),
Broadband Assured Services (BBF), and so on, which are mostly
link/port/node-based technologies and can be used to build local or
campus-scale and special-purposed networks. The burning question is if it is
feasible to provide low latency and/or assured bandwidth end-to-end services
over wide area packet networks, including the Internet, with mixed traffic and
technologies. What are the contributing factors that cause latency across
packet networks? What can we learn from how low-latency services are provided
across specific technologies?
This talk will take a look at the current state of the art, introduce the use
cases, and sow the seeds for some ideas about how to optimize WAN latency.
