1. HOPI Update Rick Summerhill Director Network Research, Architecture, and Technologies Jerry Sobieski MAX GigaPoP and TSC Program Manager Mark Johnson MCNC and Applications TSC Director Internet2 Fall Member Meeting 5 December 2006 Chicago, IL

2. Agenda Review of HOPI Ideas Current Status Control Plane New Internet2 Network Relationship to HOPI Connections

3. HOPI Project - Overview How does one effectively use a richer set of capabilities available to network designers and end users? Core IP packet switched networks A set of optically switched lightpaths available for dynamic provisioning Fundamental Question: How will the core Internet architecture evolve? Examine a hybrid of shared IP packet switching and dynamically provisioned circuits HOPI Project – Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure - how does one put it all together? Dynamic Provisioning - setup and teardown of optical paths Hybrid Question - how do end hosts use the combined packet and circuit switched infrastructures?

4. HOPI General Problem

5. Lightpaths Across Domains

6. HOPI Status HOPI is currently mapped through Abilene, although the New Internet2 Network will soon support NYC - DC - Chicago Installed Node Locations (all support International connectivity) Los Angeles Equinix facility - same location as CENIC node Washington, DC MAX/Dragon facility - same location as the Internet2 node StarLight in Chicago The Pacific Northwest GigaPoP in Seattle - Westin Building, the Internet2 node New York City – NYSERNet area in 32 AoA - same location as Internet2 node (many thanks to NYSERNet for donating rack space and power to support the HOPI project). Circuits to Europe Circuit from NYC to London - connection to GEANT2 GEANT2 circuit from Paris to NYC - connection to GEANT2 for service trial Now have 4 circuits supporting P2P services and one for IP peering, all through MAN LAN

7. HOPI Topology

8. HOPI Node

9. Control Plane Control Plane Activities - Uses DRAGON software Uni for applications VLSR - Virtual label switched router NARB - Network access resource broker ASTs - Application specific topologies. Successful demonstrations of these at Internet2 member meeting Specific types of services Immediate reservation Advanced reservation Monitoring and managing a dynamic layer1 network Data collection similar to Abilene observatory AAA development Measurement activities Strong Collaboration with ESnet and Geant2

10. HOPI Testbed Support Center (TSC) TSC is a collaboration between The IU NOC - focusing on advanced engineering NCREN (MCNC) - focusing on applications MAX - focusing on control plane development Expanded commitment to these partners for developing capabilities on the new Internet2 Network New agreements With all TSC partners Leadership from Tom Lehman of ISI for inter-domain control plane development Leadership from Jerry Sobieski of MAX for TSC program direction New Staff that are working on HOPI and the new Internet2 Network - Brian Cashman and John Vollbrecht

11. Example Project on HOPI and the Internet2 Network Phoebus - TCP data flows File transfers over long distance segments not requiring congestion control

12. Rick Summerhill The Internet2 Network

13. DWDM Network Internet2 and ESnet have formed a partnership to build their respective networks on this DWDM footprint ESnet hybrid network An IP network connecting the labs An lower layer network for deterministic services Internet2 hybrid network An IP network similar to the existing Abilene network A layer 1 dynamically provisioned network providing HOPI like services Static and Dynamic services will be available to other partners

14. Rick Summerhill Layer 1 Network

15. Rick Summerhill Hybrid Network

16. Rick Summerhill Multiservice Switching Infrastructure

17. Node Architecture Infinera DWDM Gear - Static at the start Ciena CoreDirector to provide sub channels and HOPI types of activities at the start Simplified and standardized interface to connectors, exchange points, and other global research and education networks - 2 x 10 Gbps interfaces Measurement and control servers will support the node

18. Node Architecture Example of Optical only Node for connected RON or Peer Network

19. Relationship between HOPI and the Internet2 Network HOPI will continue as a testbed - will retain national footprint The Dynamic Capabilities on the Internet2 Network to provide a persistent service for applications Documents: Connecting to the Internet2 Network Appendix: Service Definition on the HOPI testbed and the Multiservice Switching Network Appendix: An Example of how to connect More on this now …

20. Connecting to HOPI and the Internet2 Network - An Example, Phase 1 Campus connects through RON that could be Static Ethernet based Connect to HOPI control plane

21. Phase 2 Separate the control planes

22. Phase 3 RON installs control plane

23. Phase 4 Move to the Multiservice Switching Infrastructure on the Internet2 Network There are many other possible alternatives
