IPv6 Test Bed
 Background : The Internet growth caused there is a need for
new
generation of IP (Internet Protocol)
 IPv6 Implementation using INRIA Rocquencourt’s IPv6
Implementation
which based on FreeBSD (2.2.2-RELEASE and 2.2.5RELEASE)
 The participants are : ITB, (Institut Teknologi Bandung),
UNPAR
(Universitas Parahyangan), and UNILA (Universitas
Lampung)
 Next step :
 Expand IPv6 Network in AI3-Indonesia Network
 Connect to 6Bone
 Develop IPv6 Applications

Joko Yuliantoro
Computer Network Research
Group ITB

Traditional Kernel Design
 Full Hardware Abstraction.
 Centralized Resource Management.
 Protection Mechanism / Multiplexing
Raw Hardware.

Hardware Abstraction
 Large coverage to make it useful to
all applications.
 Planned to accommodate all
interfaces from application to
hardware resources.
 Trapped in vast small details that
make the abstraction composed of
inefficient codes and routines.

Impact on Kernel






Large Kernel Size.
Complex Algorithm.
Unreliable.
Inflexible.
Hard global optimization since too
many codes and routines are
affected.

Impact on Applications
 Inefficient.
 Complex Algorithm.
 Can not grealty improve the
efficiency since many details have
been hidden away from application.

Exokernel Prototype Design
 Created and introduced by Dawson R.
Engler and M. Frans Kaashoek from
MIT in January 1995.
 Main principle is application should
manage all physical resources.
 Exokernel should only manage
resources to the extent required by
protection.

Exokernel Prototype Design
 Use distributed resource
management.
 Exokernel concentrate on
multiplexing raw hardware.

Exotick
 A single-user network operating
system based on Exokernel design.
 As a start, planned to be a simple
TCP/IP router.
 Focus on:
 Simple operation & programming.
 Smaller kernel size.
 Fast response (real time).

Exotick
 Use Assembler language for best
size and speed fulfillment.
 Use Netwide Assembler (NASM)
version 0.97 as the compiler and
linker.

Exotick’s Feature








32-bit OS on Intel’s architecture.
Preemptive multitasking.
Flat memory model.
Small kernel size.
Fast response (real time).
Plain text user interface.
TCP/IP support.

Exotick Project Status
 The project has been started since
August 1998.
 The project will be completed by the
end of 1998.

Cache





ITB has set several Parents cache.
Cache person is husni@itb.ac.id
We cache all of our Web traffic.
check out
http://www.lp.itb.ac.id/~cacher/

HTTP-Cache: What
 Use of Proxy Server
 Previously fetched WWW objects are
stored in Proxy Server
 Proxy Server gives cached WWW
object instead of fetches it from
WWW server
 Use of non-persistent caching

HTTP-Cache: Why
 Web is the most popular application
on The Net
 Web traffic in byte is about 40%
 WAN link get congested
 Most WWW objects are static

HTTP-Cache: Facts
 HTTP-Cache reduces WAN traffic
 More Effective than Server mirror

Cache Hierarchy
 Cache-Server mesh
 Collaborates using “parent-sibling”
relationship
 Sibling: fetches WWW-object only if it
is found in local cache
 Parent: always fetches requested
WWW-object
