Zen and the Art of Network Architecture
Larry Peterson (Princeton University)
Abstract: Network architectures are a unique artifact of computer science. They are shaped by both technical and non-technical forces. When well-crafted, they define fixed points that catalyze innovation. And they ultimately suffer from entropy and need to be reinvented. Drawing on my experiences building and operating network research testbeds, designing and deploying experimental network services, transferring research prototypes to the commercial sector, and witnessing fundamental shifts in the networking industry, this talk explores the nature of network architectures. It also attempts to extract a set of general lessons, and apply them to the emerging cloud.
Short Bio: Larry Peterson is the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Princeton-hosted PlanetLab Consortium. He served as Chair of the CS Department from 2003-2009. In 2007 Peterson co-founded CoBlitz LLC to commercialize CDN technology developed on PlanetLab. CoBlitz was acquired by Veriue Inc. in 2010, and subsequently by Akamai in 2012. Peterson is co-author of the best selling networking textbook Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (5e), and chaired the initial planning efforts that led to NSF’s GENI Initiative. His research focuses on the design and implementation of networked systems.
Prof. Peterson is a former Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems, was on the Editorial Board for the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking and the IEEE Journal on Select Areas in Communication, and served as program chair for SOSP, NSDI, and HotNets. Peterson is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, and the 2010 recipient of the IEEE Kobayahi Computer and Communication Award. He received his Ph.D. degree from Purdue University in 1985.B4: Experience with a Globally-Deployed Software Defined WAN
