  1. IPv6 and IBPstorage network and content delivery system over an IPv6 Testbed Gabriella Paolini gabriella.paolini@garr.it

  2. 6net • 6NET is a three-year IST European project • to demonstrate that continued growth of the Internet can be met using new IPv6 technology. • to help European research and industry play a leading role in defining and developing the next generation of networking technologies. • A native IPv6-based network with both static and mobile components in order to gain experience of IPv6 deployment and migration from existing IPv4-based networks.

  3. GARR in 6NET • A complex participation: GARR coordinates 12 local partners • We are participating in many activities within the project • Users connected in native mode using dedicated ATM pvc, sometimes dual-stack in users side.

  4. Universities and research institutes involved in 6net with GARR • Ferrara • Università di Ferrara • Florence • Università di Firenze • Rome • Università di Roma III • INFN Roma1 • CASPUR • Naples • Università di Napoli • Bari • Università di Bari • Bologna • INFN CNAF • Università di Bologna • Milan • Università di Milano • Turin • Politecnico di Torino • Pisa • CNR IIT • Università di Pisa

  7. Dual Stack Pilot:Going towards an IPv4/IPv6 production network • We are upgrading our network to IPv6 • We are involved in the GEANT IPv6 Task Force, following the GEANT roadmap • Our Pilot plan is in 3 stages: • 1st stage: the Network • 2nd stage: the Routing • 3rd stage: the Users

  8. What we needed • Increasing traffic volume • Nearly-production traffic (not originated by traffic generators) • Involving users • No users continuous presence (ex.:Online games, videoconference need that)

  9. Looking for a 'killer application' • Network Storage environment should be it • We have started a collaboration with the University of Tennessee (Logistical Networking Project) • We are building an Ipv6 Logistical infrastructure on our current 6net topology.

  10. Internet Backplane Protocol middleware • It's Ipv6-ready • A storage network infrastructure • Total control of data movement and staging • Ready for Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD • http://loci.cs.utk.edu/ • I2-DSI an Internet2 initiative based on IBP

  11. What we can do • Generating IPv6 traffic, without users' continuous presence. • Building an IPv6 platform for content delivering: Open source, GNU, free software distributed with a web page interface (ex.:linux distributions...) • Possibility of involving IPv4 users with an underlying IPv6 infrastructure. (with a dual-stack web server) • An easy service with coherency and replica consistency.

  12. GARR implementation • 3 depots on the backbone • Other depots located in the users premises • 1st step: testing the system and building the storage network (now) • 2nd step: a software distribution system using a web interface (ready in May) and the P-2-P client tools.

  15. Future initiatives • Expanding this content delivery system to other 6NET European partners (ie: Surfnet) • Local depots installations • Client software implementation • Performance tests • Other related applications: video, mail, etc. • Evaluation and integration of IPv6 advanced features with IBP (Security, Mobile, Source Routing)
