IS A GIGABIT ENOUGH?

More than a Gigabit

• 1.493 Gbps uncompressed (HDTV)• 5.972 Gbps at 1080p and 120 Hz (medical

images using DICOM)• 10.19 Gbps Red One Camera

uncompressed• 23.89 Gbps 4K video

4K Video

• Supported by YouTube• 4K television sets big news at CES

Seeing a Gigabit

• Laptop screen = 3.98 Gbps• 15 inch retina display = 9.95 Gbps

Big Data• Spot public health outbreaks• Coordinate traffic flows based on multiple

video cameras and car-to-car communications

• Community sensorsharing

Aggregation

• 30 students in a classroom or lab• 2-10 videowalls in a home• 5 engineers in a small business

SO WE’LL NEED AT LEAST A GIGABIT.

WHAT WILL A GIGABIT STRESS?

WHAT WILL A GIGABIT STRESS?

Internet Routers

Transport to distant Clouds

Internet Routers

THEN 5 packets / second

NOW 75,000 packets / second

Because the max packet size hasn’t increased

Internet packet header

Solution: by Flow, not Packet

Software-Defined Networking

Separate control and data planes

Optimize end-to-end

Slice off IP overhead

Result: 80% cost reduction in switching

Transport to distant Clouds

Gigabits to distant clouds are expensive.

$1000-$5000 / gig / month

Solution: Move the cloud to your neighborhood

Keep your gigabits in your own network.

Neighborhood Cloud

Extra Benefits• Software Defined Networking

– Isolate sensitive flows (health, public safety)– Performance guarantee for sensitive flows– Simplifies multicast video, audio, etc.

• Neighborhood Cloud– Keep local interactions local– Local operations in case of emergencies
