AGENDA (1) Introduction and status report Claudio Allocchio GRID Technology impact and Middleware Roberto Barbera, Ton Verschuren Reaching the Campus, what is changing? Claudio Allocchio Lower layer issues and projects Victor Reijs & Mauro Campanella TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
AGENDA (2) Mobility Issues James Sankar Content delivery (including TF-NETCAST) Dan Moenster Certificate Hosting at TERENA Licia Florio TTC Composition - New members Claudio Allocchio Confirmation of Technical Special Interest Areas for 2004 all TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
GRID Impacts TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
Tier1@CNAF GRID Impacts TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
Padova CNAF Grid topology fits? TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
MiddlewareThe AA Puzzle TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
Middleware Challenges • Interoperability GRID tools and campus software-> same functionality for VO and campus • AuthN locally, authZ assertion securely transferred • Schema definitions! • Building of trust (infra)structures • Supported by PKI? TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
Certificates Hosting at TERENA Proposed Solution • Defining a process to gather the root-CA-certificates of the NRENs (policy) • Verifying the European NREN root-CA-certificates (policy) • Allowing to publish them as a public, downloadable and importable trusted file (PKCS#7/12) • TERENA would host the file TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
AA - Do we have a problem? It seems we need to do something… (back later on Strategic Issues)…. TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
OpticalPossible activities (1) • Enhancement of IPv6 monitoring • IPv6 multicast • Multi domain: • resource reservation (like for GRID) • hooking into AAA (TF AACE, GARA?) • Wireless roaming (WiFi, TF Mobility?) • provisioning of layer 1&2 connectivity • performance measurement infrastructure • PERT roll out TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
OpticalPossible activities (2) • Simpler data link protocol (IETF?) • Changing network environment (reliable, QoS) • Sharing of NREN experience: • optical networking • router testing • last mile • measurement tools (Beacon) • high speed interfaces (>=40 Gbits/s) • service models TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
Special Interest Areas • Lower Layers (IPv6, MPLS, VPNs etc.) • Quality of Service (including DiffServ) • Videoconferencing and Streaming (Including IP Telephony) • Content Delivery, Indexing and Searching • Middleware (security, AAA) • Mobility Grid and Campus coordination, across all the SIAs TERENA GA - Zagreb May 22-23 2003
