Applied Research Center for Computer Networking GENI, we be of one blood
12 November 2009 “We should complete the development of proposals to establish in Russia a powerful research and development center that would focus on the support of all areas.” “An attractive environment for the work of leading scientists, engineers, designers, programmers, managers and financiers would be formed there. In addition, new competitive technologies in the global market would be created there” Dmitry Medvedev President of Russia 2008-2012
Priorities ARCCN is a member of SKOLKOVO project (IT cluster) • ARCCN Mission: • to develop and distribute Software Defined Networking tools and technologies • to create SDN deployments in R&E networks for the benefit of the larger R&Ecommunity • to allow researchers to seamlessly transition SDN network control and management concepts from • prototype to emulation to deployments in local and even national test beds
Main activities Education Research Industry Cooperation University Consortium
University Consortium Main goals: • To promote the SDN segment deploying in the scientific and educational environment of Russia; • To form SDN research community at Russian universities in collaboration with branch ministries, enterprises and development institutions. Main tools: • To create SDN-network segments in the Russian Universities • To include SDN courses in the compulsory syllabuses in universities, project partners; • To lay down relevant topics for Ph.D studies; • To provide opportunity for Science Experiment with real equipment.
Current research projects for Industry • Development of pilot segment cloud platform for data centers based on SDN • Resource usage efficiency increasing methods for data centers based on the storage virtualization • Development of security technology for payment transactions via cellphones from unauthorized access • Research and development on OpenFlow switch architecture onIntel Platform using Intel Data Plane Development Kit
Main research and deployment activities • SDN networks: design, configuration, analysis, simulation, and configuration tools. • SDN networks management: tools for describing network resources, their abstraction and implementation, networking and distributed resources virtualization . • The use of SDN technology in various application areas: Data Center, Storage Area Network (SAN), corporate networks, network operators and service providers, wireless networks, home networks, informational security. • Demonstrate the capabilities and benefits of using SDN technology to manage modern computer networks.
Current Activities • Summer and Autumn SDN Schools for students, researchers & engineers in collaboration with ON Lab (Stanford, Berkley) >40 participants • Open Lectures about SDN/OpenFlow with Nick McKeown, Scott Shenker and Russian scientists and experts > 600 participants offline & > 2000 participants online
ARCCN Today • 20 engineers: 9 Ph.D., 9 Ph.D. students; • Cooperation with 11 Russian universities and research centers; • Develop first Russian SDN-network segment; • Develop special education program for engineers and researchers in collaboration with ON.Lab; • Contracts for industrial research
Connectivity 2012/2013 Initiative of NFS and Russian Ministry of Education and Science to support cooperation US Universities & Russian Universities within GENI
Cooperation with GENI: Proposals • Developing testbed and benchmarks for testing SDN controllers • Creating a pool of applications for controllers implementing interesting features. Including implementation of current network protocols on top of SDN. Open source. • General protocol to provide direct communication between the distributed application and the network it uses • Building of a distributed real-time simulation environment over SDN network • Controller as an Open System • Methodology for SDN simulator assessment and comparison • SDN network intersegment traffic research. Intersegment SDN network protocol development • Research collaboration proposal on network security with SDN • Research possible vulnerabilities in SDN and/or OF Software tools
