2. 2 Outline  ESnet’s Role in DOE’s Office of Science  ESnet’s Continuing Evolutionary Dimensions  Capacity  Reach  Reliability  Guaranteed Services

3. 3 DOE Office of Science and ESnet “The Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, … providing more than 40 percent of total funding … for the Nation’s research programs in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, and fusion energy sciences.” (http://www.science.doe.gov) The large-scale science that is the mission of the Office of Science is dependent on networks for o Sharing of massive amounts of data o Supporting thousands of collaborators world-wide o Distributed data processing o Distributed simulation, visualization, and computational steering o Distributed data management ESnet’s mission is to enable those aspects of science that depend on networking and on certain types of large-scale collaboration

4. 4 The Office of Science U.S. Community Institutions supported by SC Major User Facilities DOE Multiprogram Laboratories DOE Program-Dedicated Laboratories DOE Specific-Mission Laboratories Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Ames Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory BrookhavenNationalLaboratory Oak Ridge National Laboratory Los Alamos National Laboratory Lawrence Livermore &Sandia National Laboratories Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory FermiNationalAcceleratorLaboratory PrincetonPlasmaPhysicsLaboratory Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility National Renewable Energy Laboratory StanfordLinearAcceleratorCenter Idaho National Laboratory SC Program sites General Atomics Sandia National Laboratory

5. 5 Footprint of SC Collaborators - Top 100 Traffic Generators Universities and research institutes that are the top 100 ESnet users The top 100 data flows generate 30% of all ESnet traffic (ESnet handles about 3x10 9 flows/mo.) 91 of the top 100 flows are from the Labs to other institutions (shown) (CY2005 data)

6. 6 Changing Science Environment  New Demands on Network Increased capacity o Needed to accommodate a large and steadily increasing amount of data that must traverse the network High-speed, highly reliable connectivity between Labs and US and international R&E institutions o To support the inherently collaborative, global nature of large-scale science High network reliability o For interconnecting components of distributed large- scale science New network services to provide bandwidth guarantees o For data transfer deadlines for remote data analysis, real-time interaction with instruments, coupled computational simulations, etc.

7. 7 Network Utilization ESnet Accepted Traffic (Bytes) Jan 1990 to Jun 2006 ESnet is Currently Transporting over 1.2 Petabytes/month and this volume is increasing exponentially TBytes/Month 1.04 Petabyte/mo April 2006 1.20 Petabyte/mo June 2006

8. ESnet traffic has increased by 10X every 47 months, on average, since 1990 Terabytes / month Log Plot of ESnet Monthly Accepted Traffic, January, 1990 – June, 2006 Oct., 1993 1 TBy/mo. Aug., 1990 100 MBy/mo. Jul., 1998 10 TBy/mo. 38 months 57 months 40 months Nov., 2001 100 TBy/mo. Apr., 2006 1 PBy/mo. 53 months

9. 9 High Volume Science Traffic Continues to Grow Top 100 flows are increasing as a percentage of total traffic volume 99% to 100% of top 100 flows are science data (100% starting mid-2005) A small number of large- scale science users account for a significant and growing fraction of total traffic volume 2 TB/month 1/05 6/05 1/06 2 TB/month 7/06

10. 10 Traffic coming into ESnet = Green Traffic leaving ESnet = Blue Traffic between ESnet sites % = of total ingress or egress traffic Traffic notes more than 90% of all traffic is Office of Science less that 10% is inter-Lab Who Generates ESnet Traffic? ESnet Inter-Sector Traffic Summary for June 2006 Peering Points Commercial R&E (mostly universities) 7% 30% 31% 5% 14% ESnet ~7% DOE collaborator traffic, inc. data 76% 31% DOE is a net supplier of data because DOE facilities are used by universities and commercial entities, as well as by DOE researchers DOE sites International (almost entirely R&E sites)

20. 20 Guaranteed Services Using Virtual Circuits Traffic isolation and traffic engineering – Provides for high-performance, non-standard transport mechanisms that cannot co-exist with commodity TCP-based transport – Enables the engineering of explicit paths to meet specific requirements e.g. bypass congested links, using lower bandwidth, lower latency paths Guaranteed bandwidth [Quality of Service (QoS)] – Addresses deadline scheduling Where fixed amounts of data have to reach sites on a fixed schedule, so that the processing does not fall far enough behind that it could never catch up – very important for experiment data analysis Reduces cost of handling high bandwidth data flows – Highly capable routers are not necessary when every packet goes to the same place – Use lower cost (factor of 5x) switches to relatively route the packets End-to-end connections are required between Labs and collaborator institutions
