  2. Logistical Networking • The use of storage resources as part of the network’s communicative infrastructure. • Examples: • mail, news, FTP, HTTP • file and database caches, replication • remote buffer managment • distributed shared state

  3. The “Logistical Computing & Internetworking” (LoCI) Hypothesis • If network resources (distributed storage, communication and computation) can be predictably allocated and flexibly coscheduled, • Then advanced applications can be implemented with higher performance and/or lower overall use of communication, computational, and storage resources.

  4. Management of State in the Network: Motivation • The design of distributed systems for performance and modularity requires management of state • The TCP/IP protocols implement data transmission in a stateless network. • State management functions are currently pushed up to the application layer using application-specific protocols.

  5. The Internet Backplane Protocol • The network is a “commons” used by a community to enable communication. • Data transmission is currently the only resource held in common. • IBP adds storage to the commons. • Substantial storage resources are owned by the network and allocated to endpoints.

  6. IBP Client API: Allocation • IBP_allocate(char *host, int size, IBP_attributes attr) • Open allocation is key to networking • Attributes key to avoiding denial-of-use • time limitation • volatile (server can revoke) • Circular, FIFO

  7. Dimensions in Communication • The Internet allows spatial flexibility through transmission and routing • no temporal flexibility: as quick as possible • Storage allows temporal flexibility through storage for retrieval at later time(s) • no spatial flexibility: the bits stay put • IBP allows flexibility in both dimensions

  8. Dimensions in Communication Networking (spatial) Storage (temporal) Logistical Networking

  9. Example: NetSolve State Management • The Problem: NetSolve calls are functional • Excessive data transfers Client A,B Server 1 F A Client A,B Server 2 F A For example: Client A = F(A, B); A = F(A, B);
