  1. GÉANT3 ServicesConnectivity and Monitoring Services by and for NRENs Ann Harding, SWITCH TNC 2010

  2. Positioning Services • GÉANT benefits multiple disciplines, from Big Science projects such as the Large Hadron Collider through telemedicine and earth observation to the arts and cultural projects • Goal: To enable R&E users through their Organizations with flexible and scalable production quality services via the constituent NRENs • GÉANT Service Area – a network of networks that spans the backbone and the national networks

  3. Services have a lifecycle • Old way to do services • Make it work, declare service, tidy up afterwards • Not expectations-proof • Operationally painful • Hard to scale • Collaboratively delivered services in NREN community • Protect innovative reputation but be useful • Design with operations in mind • Standards for technology, why not standards/agreements for service? • Service Architecture (2B) • Network Management Architecture (8A) • Improve or retire

  4. Service Activities and Service Users

  5. Services Interact with Services Multidomain Wavelengths Multidomain Bandwidth-on-Demand Multidomain Monitoring

  6. Multidomain Wavelengths • Use case • Transferred data volume is typically high • Between clearly defined locations and lasting for a long period of time • Traffic should be separated • 1Gbps, 2.5 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s • Implications on multiplexing • Footprint/cabability dependent • Ethernet and SDH data transport • Service parameters described for demarcation points • User access • Inter-domain

  7. Multidomain Wavelength Challenges • Long setup time • Procurement of infrastructure • Cost overhead • Adoption of tools and automation to ensure provisioning is competitive, despite complex operational environment • I-SHARe, AutoBAHN? • Service Levels • Technical challenges in measurement/calculation of transmission delay • Access and accounting • User oriented but operationally possible • Distributed Network Management • E2emon • Quality/reliability of information

  8. Multidomain Bandwidth on Demand • Goal: deliver dedicated, flexible capacity virtual network capabilities, through user-driven, easily and efficiently provisioned dynamic circuit services. • Initial target group: NREN NOCs • Co-design with Internet2, Esnet, CANARIE, USLHCnet • Point-to-point, bidirectional Ethernet Transport Service • Transport and service functions • Any technology providing requested functionality can be used • Service parameters described for demarcation points • User access • Inter-domain • IDC protocol -> supported by AutoBAHN

  9. Multidomain Bandwidth on Demand Challenges • Network resource • Dedicated resource vs. efficient use of available resource • Accounting • Service Levels • Respecting difference but not confusing the user • Supporting multiple approaches for a consistent service • Toolsets – AutoBAHN, ION, OpenDRAC, OSCARS • Vendor support • Operations • AAI • Evaluating user demand • And seeing it through

  10. Multidomain Monitoring • Building use-case focussed services with perfSONAR • Performance troubleshooting • Network characterisation • Circuit monitoring • Scale globally • Co-design with Internet2, Esnet, CANARIE, USLHCnet • Passive monitoring, in a perfSONAR framework • Services by & for NRENs • Services for Private Networks

  11. Monitoring Challenges • Identifying key components against use cases • Developing the right things • Narrower focus • Software development QA • Developing the right way • Unit, functional & usability testing • Deployment • NREN involvement • Federated approach • Support • Hardware • Software • Service

  12. Support Services • Supporting NRENS • Deployment • Management • Operations • Bringing together diverse GN2 support services • Application Service Desk • E2ECU • Tools support • Standards in service management • eTOM + ITIL • What + how Support Fulfilment Assurance Customer Relationship Management ServiceManagement & Ops SupplierManagement

  13. Supporting Services • AAI • NRENs & Project Activities • Use cases & infrastructure • Security • CERT Teams and Project coordination • Multidomain service incident response • Performance • eduPERT • Distributed teams • Shared expertise

  14. Next Steps • Community consultation • June 24/25 Amsterdam • Business case approval • Deployments • Target deployments for AutoBAHN/I-SHARe • linked with service • Target deployments for perfSONAR • Target deployments for participation without tools • Continuous service improvement • Research results (JRA2) on monitoring, management, BoD • User/operator feedback • Testing
