Enterprise WAN - What’s Going on?

•  WAN bandwidth needs are growing! –  Cloud, BYOD/IOE and Video making it worse

•  IT budgets flat or declining –  Transport/bandwidth costs are majority of WAN budget

•  These factors are driving WAN modernization –  Lower cost transports – Internet, LTE, Carrier Ethernet, –  Cloud application performance monitoring and optimization –  Security – strong encryption and threat protection

Cisco IWAN addressing this market demand!

Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) •  Branch spoke sites establish an IPsec tunnel to and

register with the hub site

•  IP routing exchanges prefix information for each site

•  BGP or EIGRP are typically used for scalability

•  Only the WAN IP addresses need to be known by the WAN transport

•  WAN interface IP address can be used for the tunnel source address

•  Data traffic flows over the DMVPN tunnels

•  When traffic flows between spoke sites, dynamic site-to-site tunnels are established

•  Per-tunnel QOS is applied to prevent hub site oversubscription to spoke sites

IWAN Transport Best Practices •  Private peering with Internet providers

Use same Internet provider for hub and spoke sites Avoids Internet Exchange bottlenecks between providers Reduces round trip latency

•  DMVPN Phase 3 Scalable dynamic site-to-site tunnels Separate DMVPN per transport for path diversity Per tunnel QOS NG Encryption – IKEv2 + AES-GCM-256 encryption

•  Transport settings Use the same MTU size on all WAN paths Bandwidth settings should match offered rate

•  Routing Overlay iBGP or EIGRP for high scale (1000+ sites) Single routing process, simplified operations Front-side VRF to isolate external interfaces Branch

•  PfR monitors network performance and routes applications based on application performance policies

•  PfR load balances traffic based upon link utilization levels to efficiently utilize all available WAN bandwidth

Other traffic is load balanced to maximize bandwidth Voice/Video will be

rerouted if the current path degrades below policy thresholds

Voice/Video take the best delay, jitter, and/or loss path

Load Balancing Maximizing Link Utilization to Increase Available Bandwidth

•  External link Load Balancing by default

•  PfR Distributes traffic across a set of links to maintain efficient utilization levels with a defined percentage range. Default utilization range is +/- 20%

•  External links can have different available bandwidth, e.g., Int 1/0 = 1.5Mbps, Int 1/1 = 15Mbps

•  Load Balancing defaults can be modified by CLI –  Utilization Range –  Max Utilization 90%

The Forwarding Path: Border Router (BR) •  Gain network visibility in forwarding path (Learn, measure) •  Enforce MC’s decision (path enforcement) •  Does all packet forwarding

The Policy Controller: Domain Controller (DC) •  Discover site peers, prefixes and connected networks •  Advertise policy and services •  One per domain, collocated with MC

PfRv3 Multiple Next Hop Limitation •  Issues:

–  PfRv3 manages traffic between Tunnel Interfaces, not multiple tunnels within a single Tunnel Interface

–  Spokes have multiple next hops on the same DMVPN tunnel Interface

–  Channel definition: •  local site id + remote site id + DSCP + color(SP)

•  No differentiation for multiple channels within a color(SP)

•  Solution: PfRv3 DMVPN Multiple Next Hop support –  Need to add sub-color to differentiate channels –  New channel definition

•  local site id + remote site id + DSCP + color(SP) + SP tag

Bandwidth Management Challenges

•  Available Link BW Can Change (Internet) ­  Static Bandwidth Provisioning (QoS) not accurate ­  Shapers become inaccurate due to BW fluctuation ­  Cannot predict BW changes at configuration

•  Application & User Impact ­  Applications tune based on static shape rate ­  Indiscriminate traffic drops - SAP instead of YouTube!! ­  New calls/flows admitted can degrade performance of

existing ones

Plug-n-Play Application Workflow Overview

0 Pre-Provisioning In Prime Infrastructure

•  Administrator creates a Plug and Play device profile in Prime Infrastructure

•  Administrator specifies device names, desired configuration, SW image, and optionally the device serial numbers

•  A deployment PIN number is generated for each device and can be emailed to the installer

1 Installation at the End Location

•  Installer receives the device, mounts the device and connects the cables

•  Installer launches Plug-and-Play application and enters the PIN

•  Plug-and-Play application registers the device serial number with Prime and then downloads bootstrap configuration to the device

•  Device downloads the SW image and full configuration from Prime, Plug-and-Play application displays status

IWAN 2.0 Considerations

IWAN 2.0 Considerations •  Intelligent Path Control

–  Horizontal scaling with multiple BRs at a site connected to a single DMVPN network –  Common/same prefixes being reachable over multiple hub/pop locations –  Enhancements coming in Spring 2015

•  Application Optimization –  AVC requires flow symmetry across the same border router to classify stateful

applications •  Problematic at sites with dual routers; e.g. hub/pop locations •  Enhancement coming in the Summer or Fall 2015 release

•  Secure Connectivity –  CWS connector not currently supported on the ISR-4000 series routers

•  Support coming in the Summer 2015 release

1st 3rd Savings & Loan (13S&L) Scenario Current Network Design •  East and West Data Centers (DC) for

redundancy and business continuance

•  Internet DMZs at each DC –  13S&L.com Internet presence –  Employee Internet access –  7200 series routers and PIX firewalls

•  WAN –  513 branches with 2 Hub/DC sites –  MPLS VPN provided by AsTheBellTolls (ATBT)

•  3 Classes of service – Real Time, Data and Default •  99.95% circuit availability •  T3 and ½ T1 access to VPN

–  7200 and 2800 series routers Branch-1 Branch-513

Internet

Intelligent WAN Summary •  Transport Independent Design

–  Hybrid MPLS + Internet transports Increased bandwidth with higher availability

•  Intelligent Path Control –  Performance Routing (PfR) to protect critical applications

and load balance traffic to maximize expensive WAN bandwidth

•  Application Optimization –  Application Visibility and Control (AVC) to monitor application

performance at the branch –  WAAS + Akamai to reduce bandwidth consumption and improved

application experience

•  Secure Connectivity –  Cloud Web Security (CWS) for improved performance of Public

Cloud and Internet applications while reducing bandwidth over the WAN, without compromising security or control

•  IWAN Management –  Prime, LiveAction, or GlueWare with SDN evolution with APIC-EM
