  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. The Internet2 Network Rick Summerhill

  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. Layer 1 Network Rick Summerhill

  15. Hybrid Network Rick Summerhill

  16. Multiservice Switching Infrastructure Rick Summerhill

  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
