The Internet backplane protocol (IBP) • IBP is a common service for state management in a shared network • It is a basis for asynchronous communication • Scalability comes from weak assumptions: • Maximum size and duration of allocation • A highly generic, “best effort” service • “A weak network version of malloc” • Robust services are built on top in an end-to-end manner ! • The goal is scalability analogous to the Internet 2 Beck_LNES_0611

Three kinds of files • Files stored locally (1) • Attached disk (direct, LAN or storage network) • Files represented as exNodes • exNodes stored locally (2) • exNodes stored in LoDN directory (3) LoDN/L-Store Apphost
LN provides a “bits are bits” infrastructure • Standardize on what we have an adequate common model for: • Storage/buffer management • Coarse-grained data transfer • Leave everything else to higher layers • End-to-end services: checksums, encryption, error encoding, etc. • Enable autonomy in wide area service creation: security, resource allocation, QoS guarantees… • Gain the benefits of interoperability today One infrastructure serves all
