Resumo

Communication networks increasingly operate under high expectations of performance, reliability, and availability. Quickly troubleshooting problems that may arise in the infrastructure and its traffic is an essential aspect of network operation. In this article, we investigate the division of tasks between control and data plane devices in programmable networks. We introduce Stratic, a new paradigm for designing network operation applications capable of responding to network problems at data-plane timescales. In the Stratic paradigm, control plane servers strategize ahead of time on how to deal with different operation scenarios while the data plane devices are equipped with mechanisms to autonomously detect and coordinate the response to events as they happen. We present example applications that evidence the timeliness benefits of the Stratic paradigm. We also examine the generality of the proposed paradigm by discussing its design space for solutions.
