The EU DataTAG Project Presented at the 4th DataGrid Conference 8th March 2002, PARIS Olivier H. Martin CERN - IT Division
The project • European partners: INFN (IT), PPARC (UK), University of Amsterdam (NL) and CERN, as project coordinator. • INRIA (FR) expected to join during 1H2002. • ESA/ESRIN (IT) will provide Earth Observation demos together with NASA. • Budget: 3.98 MEUR • Start date: January, 1, 2002 • Duration: 2 years (aligned on DataGrid) • Funded manpower: ~ 15 persons/year The EU DataTAG Project
US Funding & collaborations • US NSF support through the existing collaborative agreement with CERN (Eurolink award). • US DoE support through the CERN-USA line consortium. • Significant contributions to the DataTAG workplan have been made by Jason Leigh (EVL@University of Illinois), Joel Mambretti (Northwestern University), Brian Tierney (LBNL). • Strong collaborations already in place with ANL, Caltech, FNAL, SLAC, University of Michigan, as well as Internet2 and ESnet. The EU DataTAG Project
In a nutshell • Two main focus: • Grid related network research (WP2, WP3) • Interoperability between European and US Grids (WP4) • 2.5 Gbps transatlantic lambda between CERN (Geneva) and StarLight (Chicago) around July 2002. • Dedicated to research (no production traffic) • In principle open to other EU Grid projects as well as ESA for demonstrations The EU DataTAG Project
Goals & outcomes • End to end Gigabit Ethernet performance using innovative high performance transport protocols. • Assess inter-domain QoS and bandwidth reservation techniques. • Interoperability between some major GRID projects in Europe and North America • DataGrid, possibly other EU funded Grid projects • PPDG, GriPhyN, Teragrid, iVDGL (USA) The EU DataTAG Project

Project positioning • Why yet another 2.5 Gbps transatlantic circuit? • Most existing or planned 2.5 Gbps transatlantic circuits are for production, which makes them basically not suitable for advanced networking experiments that require a great deal of operational flexibility in order to investigate new application driven network services, e.g.: • deploying new equipment (routers, G-MPLS capable multiplexers), • activating new functionality (QoS, MPLS, distributed VLAN) • The only known exception to date is the Surfnet circuit between Amsterdam & Chicago (Starlight) • Concerns: • How far beyond Starlight can DataTAG extend? • How fast will US research network infrastructure match that of Europe! The EU DataTAG Project
The STAR LIGHT • Next generation STAR TAP with the following main distinguishing features: • Neutral location (Northwestern University) • 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet based • Multiple local loop providers • Optical switches for advanced experiments • The STAR LIGHT will provide 2*622 Mbps ATM connection to the STAR TAP • Started in July 2001 • Also hosting other advanced networking projects in Chicago & State of Illinois N.B. Many European Internet Exchanges Points have already been deployed along the same lines. The EU DataTAG Project
Major Grid networking issues • QoS (Quality of Service) • still largely unresolved on a wide scale because of complexity of deployment • TCP/IP performance over high bandwidth, long distance networks • The loss of a single packet will affect a 10Gbps stream with 200ms RTT (round trip time) for 5 hours. During that time the average throughput will be 7.5 Gbps. • On the 2.5Gbps DataTAG circuit with 100ms RTT, this translates to 38 minutes recovery time, during that time the average throughput will be 1.875Gbps. • Line Error rates • A 2.5 Gbps circuit can absorb 0.2 Million packets/second • Bit error rates of 10E-9 means one packet loss every 250 mseconds • Bit error rates of 10E-11 means one packet loss every 25 seconds • End to end performance in the presence of firewalls • There is a lack of products, can we rely on products becoming available or should a new architecture be evolved? • Evolution of LAN infrastructure to 1Gbps/10Gbps • Uniform end to end bandwidth The EU DataTAG Project

Workplan (1) • WP1: Provisioning & Operations (P. Moroni/CERN) • Will be done in cooperation with DANTE & National Research & Education Networks (NREN) • Two main issues: • Procurement (largely done already for what concerns the circuit, equipment still to be decided). • Routing, how can the DataTAG partners access the DataTAG circuit across GEANT and their national network? • Funded participants: CERN(1FTE), INFN (0.5FTE) • WP5: Information dissemination and exploitation (CERN) • Funded participants: CERN(0.5FTE) • WP6: Project management (CERN) • Funded participants: CERN(2FTE) The EU DataTAG Project
Workplan (2) • WP2: High Performance Networking (Robin Tasker/PPARC) • High performance Transport • tcp/ip performance over large bandwidth*delay networks • Alternative transport solutions using: • Modified TCP/IP stack • UDP based transport conceptually similar to rate based TCP • End to end inter-domain QoS • Advance network resource reservation • Funded participants: PPARC (2FTE), INFN (2FTE), UvA (1FTE), CERN(1FTE) The EU DataTAG Project
