IS-IS : Deployment in IP Networks Alvaro White, Retana, Russ

The all-IP LTE network architecture brings more security risks. As the use of IP networks are employed, IoT/M2M applications have already become a target for attacks that will continue to grow in both quantity and sophistication. An attacker can access the unencrypted user traffic or network control signaling. Its recent restructuring of the Universal Service Fund, for example, made deployment to unserved areas economically feasible by transferring existing federal subsidies from voice-only copper networks to the build-out of broadband IP-based networks. The growing deployment of IP video systems has added of complexity that the installer must master to be successful. Installers not only have to physically mount, setup, and connect the cameras to the recorder, but must also understand the configuration and load balancing of IP networks. Vendor that the organization had deployed in their data center—an unlikely scenario. Thus, every time a packet arrives at a router, the router has to “think through” where to send Another emerging spec is the ITU's transport-MPLS (T-MPLS), which is designed to simplify deployment of Ethernet services. In a traditional routed IP network, each router makes an independent forwarding decision for each packet based solely on the packet's network-layer header. Camera installation, wiring, setup and configuration must be completed for each deployed device in order for the system to recognize and connect to the camera's video stream. Is the Internet ready for re-invention? The release of BIG-IP AAM VE clears this hurdle. Your organization also needs to commit resources to managing the use of video conferencing over your internal IP network, and to interfacing with your end users. What happens to the decades of IP protocol development and deployment that make Internet communications tried and true? Legacy vendors undoubtedly feel defensive, while new, innovative vendors are excited. The government should continue to encourage investment in this transition. Shifting our nation's communications networks to all-IP is critical to ensuring consumer access to the most modern communications services. Many are advocating changing the classical IP model and moving to a network where a centralized controller makes all forwarding decisions by pushing forwarding states directly to switches. Both the scale and context of the IoT/M2M make it a compelling target for Security services at the network core and data center cloud must also be present, similar to solutions already in existence and deployed in conventional networks.
