Roadmap to Next Generation Internet: Indian Initiatives Subbu Subbu@ncb.ernet.in Ramki@ncb.ernet.in C-DAC, India
Agenda • Driving Forces • Education and Research Network • National QoS Testbed • C-DAC’s National Grid Computing Initiative (GARUDA) • Roadmap
Driving Forces • India still in First generation Internet • International initiatives towards NGN • Revolutional technology and funding possibilities • International collaborations and Interesting Research opportunities in Application, Engineering and Middleware • Provide Dependable,Consistent, Pervasive, Secure and Inexpensive access to computational resources
Indian Initiatives towards NGN ERNET Upgradation Towards NGN National QoS Testbed C-DAC’s I-GRID
ERNET - History • Education and Research Network • Initiated in 1986 and funded by GoI and UNDP • Participation by Nation’s Premier Institutions like NCST, IITs and IISc • Objectives: State of the art Communication Infrastructure, R&D, Training, Consultancy and Content development
ERNET – Connectivity details • The ERNET backbone is a judicious mix of terrestrial and satellite-based wide area networks • International connectivity is achieved through gateways at New Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore and Calcutta, with a total capacity of 6.64 Mb • Daily traffic over ERNET exceeds 20 GB
National QoS Test bed • Collaborative effort from C-DAC, IITs & IISc • QoS Test bed for experimenting with research ideas • Outcomes expected would include • Providing QoS in the Internet • Interplay with non QoS networked applications • Control and Management of QoS in IP networks
Envisaged Connectivity • Creation of Local test beds connected to the QoS WAN Test bed • QoS WAN Test bed will overlay on existing ERNET backbone • QoS test bed traffic and regular ERNET traffic logically separated by running them over two separate VPNs
Research Areas in the QoS Testbed • Development and deployment of technologies and solutions for distance education • Experiment to provide application QoS by providing priority, RSVP and IntServ architecture • Non Co-operative and Co-operative Measurement and Characterization • IP Telephony applications • Protocol support for Mobile Wireless Endpoints
Applications • Robotic control applications • Distributed simulation and CAD conferencing • Applications end point API support for QoS on IPv6 • Telemedicine and Real Time guided clinical investigations • Deployment of IPTV, H.323 and SIP based telephony and Content Delivery Network
National Grid Computing Initiative: GARUDA • Research and Engineering of Technologies, Architectures, Standards and Applications in Grid Computing. • Platform for solving grand and challenging problems of national importance. • Framework to facilitate collaborative research and development. • Increase global competitiveness in HPC • Sharing of computing resources, geographically distributed data and applications
The Communication Fabric†(Proof of Concept phase) †100 Mbps Connectivity
Grid Applications • TeraScale Applications • Weather and Climate modeling • Seismic Data processing • Computational Fluid Dynamics • Structural Mechanics • Basic Sciences • Grid-enabled Applications • Bioinformatics • Disaster Management • Data Integration & Sharing • Other applications through G-UG collaborative efforts
Proof of Concept deliverables • Technology Development and Research • Design of 5 Gbps System Area Network • Reconfigurable Computing System for bio-informatics • Clustering software • Grid Middleware and Access Mechanism • Application Frameworks, Problem solving environment, Development and Collaborative environment • 100 Mbps communication fabric covering 17 cities • Aggregate existing resources at CTSF, Bangalore and NPSF, Pune • Terascale and Grid enabled applications in selected domains • Bioinformatics • Disaster Management • Data Integration and sharing
Garuda : A National Project of Strategic Importance • Will unleash a comprehensive computational, storage and bandwidth capability • Help maintain technological competitiveness globally • Enable address critical user requirements, cost effectively • Provide a collaborative framework for research in Cluster, Grid Computing and High Speed Networking
Roadmap… • Progressive upgradation in backbone starting from 10Gbps in 2004 to multiple Lambda networks • International high speed backbone connectivity • Co-operative Research in the areas of the Engineering aspects of the high speed networks • Progressive migration from research test beds to operational NGI to education and research community & other users • Public-Private partnership towards NGI
