Projects

BGP Implementation & Optimization in i2cinc Pakistan,Washington and Fremont Data Centers

i2cinc Pakistan

Goal:

o

To configure the BGP in i2cinc Pakistan branches of Karachi and Lahore of

communication with each other on i2cinc public IP Pool and eliminate any impact if one

side goes down.

APNIC has assigned only one IP Block against BGP Number 58602 which was further

divided into two Blocks using subnetting, one for Lahore network and other for Karachi

Network.

Achievement:

o

Completed goal successfully through optimize BGP parameters such as MED, Local

preference and weight.

i2cinc Washington and Fremont Data Centers

Goal:

o

To configure and optimize BGP in i2cinc Washington and Fremont Data Centers.

Inbound traffic comes from ISP (A) and ISP (B) as desired but outbound traffic used

only ISP (A) while ISP (B) remained unused for outgoing traffic due to design flaw.

Achievement:

o

Introduced Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) to detect ISP (B)

disconnectivity and take decision automatically for proper bandwidth utilization of

outgoing traffic.

Performance Routing (PfR) in i2cinc Network for better utilization of the Internet Bandwidth

Goal:

o

To utilize proper bandwidth in i2cinc Lahore Network to avoid voice traffic degradation

for call center.

The practice of using Policy based Routing technique (PBR) with probing mechanism

(tracking the ISP) to detect ISP failure that was not efficient for diagnosing problems

such as delay, loss, reachability, jitter and throughput.

Achievement:

o

Introduce Performance Routing (PfR) for avoiding voice traffic degradation for call

center of i2cinc if one of i2cinc service provider faced BGP Convergence, Delay, Loss,

Reachability, Throughput and Jitter.

Make Intellectual Mechanism to change traffic from one ISP (A) and ISP (B) without

disturbing the production traffic specially voice traffic.

Implement and Configure CISCO IPS in all i2cinc Data Centers

Goal & Achievement:

o

To configure CISCO IPS in inline mode with help of CISCO IME

To make and tune the signature for offending traffic.

To make and tune Meta signature to avoid False Positive alarming.

Make customized signature with help of regex for detecting offending traffic.

Make customized signature to Block social websites (facebook) for http and https.

Implement and configure Netflow in all i2cinc Data Centers

Goals

o

To Implement and Design NetFlow for i2c Data Centers for

Analyze new applications and their network impact

Reduction in peak WAN traffic

Troubleshooting and understanding network pain points

Detection of unauthorized WAN traffic

Security and anomaly detection

Validation of QoS parameters

Monitoring Tools:

Cacti, Nagios, OpenNMS, Xymon and observium.

Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore Pakistan

Research Associate May 2011 –August 2011

Developed “A Unified Model for Automated Troubleshooting In Service Provider Networks”. The

increase number and complexity of technologies in today computer network brings more difficulties for

diagnosis network problems. The “problem management” is one of the key function areas of network

management. Today’s, we are using many manual methods for problem diagnosis and recovery. Purposed a

framework for automated network troubleshooting (ANT) which will provide a flexible and scalable

infrastructure for Network Troubleshooting.

The developed system finds out the path between source and destination network, the faulty devices in

that path and isolates the fault in each device.

The planned should be further ANT model into several directions so it can achieve level 3 of IBM

Autonomics computing behavior level. Topology and rules description languages, network fault

taxonomy, integrating the existing network management tool and case based analyzing technique will be

developed
