  1. Hybrid Packet-Optical Infrastructure Tom DeFanti, Maxine Brown, Joe Mambretti & Linda Winkler

  2. The Hard Problems • New protocols needed: the Internet is not designed for single large-scale users • Circuits are not scalable, but neither are router$ • All intelligence has to be on the edge • Tuning compute, data, visualization, networking using clusters to get even a simple order of magnitude improvement is non-trivial • Security at 10Gb line speed

  3. A -> Need full Internet routing B -> Need VPN services on/and full Internet routing C -> Need very fat pipes, limited multiple Virtual Organizations A B C Knowing the User’s Bandwidth Requirements Bandwidth consumed Number of users DSL GigE LAN Source: Cees de Laat, UvA

  4. We Can Now Build Lambda Grids! • Importance for Applications • To create high-performance trials of new technologies that support application-dictatedsoftware toolkits, middleware, computing and networking • To provide known and knowable characteristics with deterministic and repeatable behavior on a persistent basis, while encouraging experimentation with innovative concepts • It isn’t science if you can’t repeat it!
