Federating CRON with ProtoGENI Seung-Jong (Jay) Park Assistant Professor Computer Science and Center for Computation & Technology Louisiana State University July 22, 2010
Idea To Asia To Canada To Europe SEA POR BOI EnLIGHTened wave (Cisco/NLR) CAVE wave PIT OGD DEN CHI KAN CLE SVL WDC Cisco/UltraLight wave San Diego L.A. Chicago Baton Rouge Raleigh LONI wave TUL DAL HOU • Real network connections • Up to 10,000km of optical fibers • Up to 200ms of delay • Emulated network connections • Less than 100m of optical fibers • Up to 200ms of delay
Motivation • Demands • Many users at Physics, Bio, Chemistry, Medical and Mechanical eng. Areas want to use high speed networks • 15 NSF EPSCoR proposals from the LA state • Hundreds (??) of proposals from the States • Facts • Only a few optical fibers are available • They need to wait until networks are stable and ready to use after they requests to network administration staffs • It takes from a few days to weeks • It asks more than a few staffs at a few places
CRONCyber-infrastructure for Reconfigurable Optical Networks • Goal • Bridging the gap between physical networks and large scale scientific research • Objectives • Developing virtually shared 10Gbps networking and high-end computing resources • Enabling large scale scientific experiments to share CRON without mutual interference
CRONCyber-infrastructure for Reconfigurable Optical Networks
Components • Switches • Data plane: Cisco Nexus 5020 switch consisting 50 X 10GE ports • Control plane: Cisco 3560 switch • Emulators • Hardware Emulators: 4 X Anue 10GE emulators for upto 10Gbps bandwidth • Software Emulators: modified NistNet & Dummynet for less than 5Gbps bandwidth • Workstations • 20 X Sun X4250 servers (two quad cores with 10GE)
Connecting CRON with GENI • Connections • Between CRON and LONI • 10GE X 2 • Between LONI and Internet2 • Internet2 ION (Interoperable On-demand Network) (upto 7GE) • LONI 10G to Interent2 (Shared Resource: R&E, CPS/TR, ION)
FederationGENI grows by “gluing together” heterogeneous infrastructure My experiment runs acrossthe evolving GENI federation. Wireless#1 Corporate GENI suites Backbone #1 ComputeCluster#1 My GENI Slice Other-Nation Projects Access#1 Backbone #2 ComputeCluster#2 This approach looks remarkably familiar . . . Other-Nation Projects Wireless#2 NSF parts of GENI Goals: avoid technology “lock in,” add new technologies as they mature, and potentially grow quickly by incorporating existing infrastructure into the overall “GENI ecosystem”

How to Connect to LONI/CRON • CRON urn: • Short Name: cron.loni.org • Full urn: urn:ogf:network:domain=loni.org:node=lsu-dcn:port=0-2-3:link=* • The full urn will change by mid August • LONI Main urn: • Short Name: loni-e1.loni.org • urn:ogf:network:domain=loni.org:node=loni-dcn-e1:port=0-9-3:link=* • LONI Test urn: • Short Name: test1.btr.loni.org
ION/DCN Vlans • LONI supports Vlans 2000 – 4000 for DCN connections • Current defined Vlans • 2096, 2097, 3440, 3441 EAGER Project • CRON has a direct Layer-2 connection to ION • Once the project defines Vlans for Proto-GENI we plan to limit the Vlan range for CRON to a small subset
Bandwidth • LONI will change the bandwidth available for ION/DCN circuits. • The Internet2 connection is shared between R&E, CPS/TR, and ION. • R&E traffic needs will be given priority on LONI network during semesters. • ION and CPS/TR traffic will be determined by user needs. • Our current max reservation is 7G. • Only reserve what you need • DCN bandwidth is shared between multiple projects. • Users that cause problems will have OSCARS login suspended
