Advances on End-to-End Network Monitoring and Provisioning Services on Global Scale – GÉANT BoD Update Internet2 2012 Spring Member Meeting, 25 April 2012 Tangui Coulouarn, UNI-C/Forskningsnettet Radek Krzywania, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center
Key features of the BoD service • End-to-end circuits with deterministic characteristics (in particular bandwidth) • Automatically provisioned and user-controlled • Tool independent: NRENs can use the technology of their choice • For example for provisioning circuits: AutoBAHN (used by most NRENs), OSCARs, OpenDRAC • But also for other aspects: monitoring, AAI, etc. • Conceived as a service and not only as a technological solution: Agreements on cost sharing, support, PR & Marketing, etc. • About to be launched after a pilot phase by 9 European NRENs • For more info, have a look at the website: http://www.geant.net/service/BoD/pages/home.aspx
Challenges in the transition to service • Multi-domain services require multi-domain agreements • Deployment in very different environments: different technologies and different vendors • Outreach to end-users and use-cases not always mapping the deployment of the service • Some features difficult to implement: monitoring, AAI • Interoperabilityissues: IDCP not supported by all provisioning systems; hope for the NSI
