Dynamic Circuit ServiceHands-On GMPLS Engineering Workshop Jerry Sobieski Mid-Atlantic Crossroads Presented to Joint Techs Minneapolis, MN Feb 13, 2007
Dynamic Circuit Services Workshop • Purpose: • Disseminate technical expertise in the design and direct deployment of GMPLS based dynamic circuit networks. • Current state of the art Control Plane architecture concepts, issues, and ongoing efforts • Provide practical and hands-on experience building a functional DCS network • Intended Audience: • Network Engineering Personnel • Those responsible for defining regional and/or campus network services and architecture • Engineering teams responsible for implementation and support • Objective: • Enable regional and campus network engineering personnel to set up a GMPLS based DCS test and evaluation facility in their region in order to begin developing engineering and operational knowledge base in these capabilities.
Outline • Day 1 • Overview GMPLS • Lab #1 – Building a GMPLS Experimentation and Evaluation Facility • The DRAGON Software Suite: Software Overview, Installation and Configuration • Lab #2 - Intra-Domain Service Routing and Signaling • Day2 • Review • Inter-Domain Dynamic Services Routing • Lab#3: Inter-domain Engineering and Service Routing • Lab#4: End System access using UNI model. • Other Rlated Topics
Workshop Testbed “Pod” Virtual Label Switching Router- “VLSR” PC Ethernet Switch End System
Inter-Domain Logical Topology Intra-domain ctrl plane Inter-domain ctrl plane Data plane
Other Topics • Multi-layer service routing (Packet / Ethernet / SONET / Lambda / Fiber) • Application Specific Topolgies • Hardware adaptation • Web Services and interdomain topology distribution.
First Run: NyserNet • First workshop: New York in [early] March • Refine the content and gauge lab expertise • Follow on workshops as frequent as monthly • Schedule is wide open • We are looking for interested hosting orgs • Maximum attendees = 12 (four teams) • Need space for 4 days (1 day setup, 2 days workshop, 1 day tear down) • Contact: • Susan Evett at Internet2 • Rick Summerhill at Internet2 • Jerry Sobieski at MAX • http://events.internet2.edu/2007/DCS/ • A more advanced workshop may developed as the basics become more widely deployed • Advanced management, AAA, hardware adaptations, etc.
Experimental Technology • GMPLS protocols continue to evolve • The R&E community’s understanding and experience with DCS continues to evolve • Hardware capabilities are evolving rapidly • Software continues to develop • We are still in the early adopter stage of these technologies (!) We need to create a community of users to mature the core capabilities, operational management, reliability, robustness, etc.
