The Proposal: Interconnection of existing European test-beds for experimental purposes based on UCLP Storage Center Canada Sensor facilities
Objectives I • User oriented/friendly. Adapt UCLP to particular users/scenarios • Deploy a system which abstracts the network resources as objects to the user (UCLP) • Provide a large scale experimental scenario, not for services, yes to experiment. Its target might be the research community • An experimental opened platform where user communities, manufacturers, and IST projects… may test and evaluate and improve their developments, equipment,… • Allow institutions, new communities to integrate wavelengths and fiber from different suppliers and integrate with institution's network management domain. Collaborate with NREN, GN2 and GLIF for connectivity. • Integration of different existent test-beds with different technologies under a common system. Interoperability
Objectives II • A new Concept - APN (Articulated Private Network): The logical view that the user has of the resources he owns and/or he has acquired from other providers • Provide a Grid interface to the experimental platform • Different administrative domains sharing network resources on a peer basis • Network resources can be partitioned in several management domains. • Deploy a system which abstracts the network resources as objects to the user (UCLP) • Customers (either human clients or grid applications) can self-provision bandwidth guaranteed connections over multiple optical/electrical equipment in a dynamic way. • Dynamic topology resource discovery
What’s UCLP? • As Bill St. Arnaud says in his “UCLP Roadmap”: • “UCLP can very simply be thought of as a configuration and partition manager that exposes each lightpath in a physical network and each network element associated with a lightpath as an “object” or “service” that can be put under the control of different network users to create their own logical IP network topologies”.
