DRAGON Team Members • University of Maryland (UMD) Mid-Atlantic CrossRoads (MAX) • University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (USC/ISI) • George Mason University (GMU) • Movaz Networks • MIT Haystack Observatory • NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) • US Naval Observatory • National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) Alliance Center for Collaboration, Education, Science, and Software (ACCESS)
DRAGON Objectives • Experiment with next generation regional optical network architectures, features, capabilities • Experiment with eScience applications • What network features and capabilities are needed to support eScience applications? • What features do eScience applications need to include, to best utilize next generation networks? • Build collaborations between network community and eScience communities • to utilize next generation networks to enable advanced science in those domains
DRAGON Activities • Instantiation of an Experimental Regional Optical Network in Washington D.C. region • “Hybrid” Packet Switched and Circuit Switched Infrastructure • All optical core • Protocol agnostic (HDTV, ethernet, sonet, fibreChannel, any optical signal) • Dynamic provisioning of end-to-end paths • Inter-Domain • Authentication, Authorization, Accounting • Scheduling • Integrate eScience applications • eVLBI • High Definition format collaboration and remote steering/display of visualization resources
DRAGON Architecture Components • Network Aware Resource Broker (NARB) • Inter-domain routing for GMPLS TE Capabilities • IGP/EGP Listener • Path Computation • AAA • Scheduling (and monitoring/enforcement) • Application Request Processing • Virtual Label Switched Router (VLSR) • Proxy for non-GMPLS capable network segments • Application Specific Topology Descriptions Language (ASTDL) • Language for application requests to network • All Optical End-to-End Routing
DRAGON NetworkOptical Transport layer - Year 3 All Optical Core Dynamic Provisioning of “Application Topologies”
Commercial PartnerMovaz Networks • MEMS-based switching fabric • 400 x 400 wavelength switching, scalable to 1000s x 1000s • 9.23"x7.47"x3.28" in size • Integrated multiplexing and demultiplexing, eliminating the cost and challenge of complex fiber management • Dynamic power equalization (<1 dB uniformity), eliminating the need for expensive external equalizers • Ingress and egress fiber channel monitoring outputs to provide sub-microsecond monitoring of channel performance using the OPM • Switch times < 5ms
eVLBI Experiment Configuration - Goals • electronic-Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI) • MIT Haystack • NASA GSFC (GGAO) • USNO • Radio Telescopes reachable via other Infrastructures • eVLBI Experiment Configuration
Low latency High Definition CollaborationDRAGON Enabled • End-to-end native SMPTE 292M transport • Media devices are directly integrated into the DRAGON environment via proxy hosts • Register the media device (camera, display, …) • Sink and source signaling protocols • Provide Authentication, authorization and accounting.
Low Latency Visual Area Networking • Directly share output of visualization systems across high performance networks. • DRAGON allows minimum latency paths.
