  1. Open Issues and New Challengesfor End-to-End TransportE2E RG Meeting - July 28/29, MIT, Cambridge MA Michael Welzl http://www.welzl.at DPS NSG Team http://dps.uibk.ac.at/nsg Institute of Computer Science University of Innsbruck, Austria

  2. Outline • IRTF ICCRG: current state and my thoughts • Okay, only one open issue • the current socket interface should be changed • , and only one new challenge • machine-only-communication

  3. IRTF ICCRG • Car designers standing next to their cars • asking “which one is the best“ won‘t work • but “for building a new car, what can we learn from yours?“ might • Agreement to produce overview of 1) IETF CC efforts and2) research efforts (TCP++) • quite distinct topics! Thus, probably two documents • #1: what do I need to know when designing a mechanism likethe ones in #2 • currently working on #1 with Wesley Eddy • classification will be a key issue for #2

  4. A new Transport Layer Interface • Current TCP/IP transport layer from an app programmer‘s point of view: UDP or TCP • Tomorrow‘s transport layer interface: • UDP / TCP / UDP-Lite / SCTP / DCCP • each with various options (e.g. DCCP CCIDs) • and what happens when there‘s a new DCCP CCID? • Suggestion: maintain best-effort model, let app programmer state properties & requirements • Numerous potential benefits: better use of protocols,automatic deployment, perhaps also a catalyst for research

  5. Machine-only communication • Seems to be a trend • commercial web service based applications • sensor networks • autonomic computing vision • Grid • Semantic Web (Services): first big step for supporting machine-only communication at a high level • So far, no steps at a lower level • like RTP, RTCP, SIP, DCCP, ... for multimedia apps:not absolutely necessary, but advantageous

  6. Case study: the Grid • “The real and specific problem that underlies the Grid concept is coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi institutional virtual organizations“[Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman and Steven Tuecke,“The Anatomy of the Grid – Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations”,International Journal on Supercomputer Applications, 2001] • Grid history: parallel processing at a growing scale(parallel CPU architectures  multiprocessor systems  clusters  Grid) • Grid people = parallel processing people • Thus, high performance computing = reasonable focus

  7. Grid-net peculiarities • Special behavior • Grid scheduler may be able to specify future data transfers • Data transfers are usually pushed (via GridFTP), not pulled • Distributed System which is active for a while • overlay based network enhancements possible • Multicast • P2P paradigm: “do work for others for the sake of enhancing the whole system (in your own interest)“ can be applied - e.g. act as a PEP, ... • sophisticated network measurements possible • can exploit longevity and distributed infrastructure • Special requirements • file transfer delay predictions • note: useless without knowing about shared bottlenecks • QoS, but for file transfers only (“advance reservation“)

  8. Grid Web serviceapps Sensor nets Grid-net research • European project: EC-GIN(Europe-China Grid InterNetworking) • 2.2 MEuro, 11 partners (7 Europe + 4 China) • Networkers developing mechanisms for Grids • Intention: “snowball effect“ in research community (e.g., via GridNets) • Subset of Grid-net developments willbe useful for other machine-onlycommunication systems!
