This AusNOG presentation touches upon the topic:

http://www.ausnog.net/images/ausnog-05/presentations/7-2-stateofdanger.pdf


heh, Until IPv6 is a mainstream, I don't think wireless companies (and 
soon wireline) have much choice on CGN. I believe there are plenty of 
CGN products that handle as much or more pps than my Juniper MX960 does. 
My last DDOS killed the egress pps on 2 of my NSP transits. Neither 
could send 2Mpps of traffic to me (ie, neither was line rate at 43bytes).


I'm confused as to the 6to4 gateway state. Last I checked, all my 6to4 
is stateless.


My load balancers are also stateless.

IPS can be deployed sidelined with hardware packet mirroring and remote 
updates to router ACLs.


I recognize that ISPs may not keep DDOS in mind and reduce state when 
possible, but there is current tech that can limit state and still 
deploy the same services. CGN is the exception to the rule, and I've yet 
to see a way around it in a depleted IPv4 Internet (but as stated, most 
CGN is designed to handle state to the same performance levels as 
current router tech).

Depends upon the technology being used.  I probably should've used a different 
term.

 My load balancers are also stateless.

Most are not, or aren't configured to be so (i.e., most seem to be set up to 
handle the outbound server-to-client comms, too).  I see them go down like 
tenpins in trivial DDoS attacks all the time.

Hello! My name is Justine and I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley
(http://cs.berkeley.edu/~justine).

I'm doing a research project on middlebox appliances such as proxies,
WAN optimizers, and firewalls. Middlebox appliances are any
networking-related hardware other than routers and switches. I'd like
to learn a little bit about how middleboxes are used in real world
deployments in enterprises. Vendors often engage in surveys of this
type - but the research community knows less than we'd like to about
typical concerns in an enterprise network.

If you work on network management in an enterprise, I'd love to hear
about your experiences through this survey:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_USformkey=dHo1NGZ3eU04SlBaSnNsSlBYZGNYSlE6MQ#gid=0

Some promises:
(1) If you give me your email address, I will not give it to anyone
else, nor will I add you to any annoying mailing lists.
(2) If you mention the name of your organization, I will not share it
with anyone else.
(3) If I publish any data from this, statistics will be reported in aggregate.
(4) I will not share the raw data from this survey with anyone other
than my advisor, Professor Sylvia Ratnasamy
(syl...@eecs.berkeley.edu).

Feel free to skip questions and please provide approximate answers if
you have them.

Finally, to thank you for your time, we'll enter you in to a lottery
for a $100 Amazon gift card; we'll select two people to win and
contact them on November 16. Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

I've met Justine and can vouch for her serious, laser-focused interest 
in middlebox research, and that if she's not really attending Cal then 
she's bamboozled a whole heap of CS profs over there.


But seriously, if you can help her ascertain real middlebox use cases 
she wants to help improve that segment of networking via useful 
research, nothing more or less.

Unfotunately ISPs are deploying many middle boxen, frequently in series,
for various reasons...cough cough cgn.

Given that these middle box infested ISPs are supposed to be providing
internet, that seems like more fertile research grounds, as the
definition of internet is starting to shift ...at least imho.
