Phosphorus Project

European and Global alliance of partners to develop advanced solution of application-level middleware and underlying management and control plane technologiesProject Vision and Mission• The project will address some of the key technical challenges in

enabling on-demand end-to-end network services across multiple heterogenous domains

• In the Phosphorus' implementation the underlying network will betreated as first class Grid resource

• Phosphorus will demonstrate solutions and functionalities across a test-bed involving European NRENs, GÈANT2, Cross Border Dark Fibre and GLIF


Project key features (I/II)Develop integration between application middleware and transportnetworks, based on three planes:

• Service plane:

– Middleware extensions and APIs to expose Network and Grid resources and make reservations of those resources

• Network Resource Provisioning plane:

– Adaptation of existing Network Resource Provisioning Systems (NRPS) to support the framework of the project

– Interworking of NRPS-based domains with GMPLS-controlled network domains, i.e. interoperability between G[2]MPLS and UCLPv2, DRAC, ARGON and JRA3(GN2).

• Control plane:

– Enhancements of the GMPLS Control Plane (G²MPLS) to provide optical network resources as first-class Grid resource


Project key features (II/II)Studies to investigate and evaluate further the project outcomes :• Study resource management and job scheduling algorithms

incorporating network-awareness, constraint based routing and advance reservation techniques

• Develop a simulation environment, supporting the Phosphorus network scenario

Disseminate the project experience and outcomes, toolkits and middleware to NRENs and their users, such as Supercomputing centres

PHOSPHORUS NETWORK SCENARIO


PHOSPHORUS ARCHITECTURE

The different domains of the Phosphorus' test-bed will have:

Two “flavours” of GMPLSstandard (Ph. 1)Grid-enabled (Ph. 2)

Three types of NRPS:UCLPDRACARGON

Grid middlewareUNICORE as

a reference pointAAA policies


Initial ApplicationsWISDOM - Wide In Silica Docking On Malaria (FHG, PSNC):

• Large scale molecular docking on malaria to compute million of compounds with different software and parameter settings (in silico experimentation)

KoDaVis – Distributed visualisation (FZJ, PSNC, UESSEX)

• Compute capacity on the data server and the visualisation clients

• Allocate network bandwidth and QoS between server and clients

TOPS – Technology for Optical Pixel Streaming (FHG, SARA)

• Streaming of Ultra High Resolution Data Sets over Lambda Networks

• Use lossy protocols for long distance connectivity: High performance TCP hard to achieve, UDP performance trivial

• Light weight application – scalable bandwidth usage

DDSS - Distributed Data Storage System (PSNC, HEL, FZJ, FHG, UESSEX)• Possible scenarios of usage:

– Data gathering or data distributing– Backups of large medical data volumes (bandwidth demanding) from one or many clients

Grid-GMPLS (G2MPLS) main tracks:• seamless coexistence with NRPS & Grid MW

• Grid-aware network reference points (G.O-UNI, G.E-NNI, G.I-NNI)

• CBR algorithms for recovery and TE

• Integration with AAA system

Planned delivery of G2MPLS CP prototypes• R1.0 by M12: sw. rel. of G.I-NNI + G.O-UNI

• R2.0 by M24: sys. rel. of full-fledged G2MPLS

WP3: Middleware and Applications

Integration of network reservation services into existing Grid middleware• services for user-driven or application-driven set-up of execution environments

WP4: Authentication, Authorization & Accounting

Service Plane - AAA will focus on implementing and integrating AAA solutions for the Phosphorus test-bed. The objectives of WP4 in the first 18 month are:

• To study the applicability of current and emerging AAA related technologies in order to select a suitable set with enough flexibility to create and test the interoperability of optical network domains. Collaborations with GEANT2 (JRA5), DRAGON and EGEE will be established which and will be used as a base.

• Collaborate with WP1, 2 and 3 to establish their specific needs towards AAA and describe their needs in a uniform way that allowing a more generalized implementation

• To create prototypes, running in a test-bed which demonstrates authorization sequences applied in multiple functional layers of the network. The AAI work within GEANT2 and VOMS work within EGEE will be used as starting point and expanded.

UCLPv2: Applying the Web 2.0 UCLPv2: Applying the Web 2.0 philphilosophy to the osophy to the networking networking

revolutionrevolution

Web 2.0:• Provides tools and applications to empower user

participation, content creation and sharing over the web.

UCLP v2 (I)

• Provides tools to allow users to participate in the process of creating and setting up their own virtual/logical networking infrastructure

• Virtual networking infrastructure made up of physical resources (partitions of physical nodes, physical links, sensors, instruments, …) provided by different physical administrators

• Users can use this virtual infrastructure for their own needs and/or exchange/acquire/sell part of this infrastructure to other users

• Provides a network virtualization framework upon which communities of users can build their own services or applications

Physical network administrator creates logical resources by

partitioning its network

UCLP v2 (II)

User get resources from the administrator and

configures his own network setup

Web 2.0, SOA and UCLPv2

• Web 2.0 tools are a collection of software services (service “mashups”) whose API is usually publicly accessible trough open standards (XML, REST web services, SOAP web services)

• SOA is about creating modular, secure and reusable services that can be used to build other services and applications

• UCLPv2 is not an application software but a suite of different application modules based on SOA. By having these different modules interacting together users can create network behaviors specific to their needs

– Web 2.0 = The Web as a Platform – UCLPv2 = The Network as a Platform

A new Media A new Media eInfrastructureeInfrastructure

• Internet is increasingly a media network, but limitations of current network media technology

• The need for a Media eInfrastructure for Future Research on Visualization and Media

Networking:3/4G, Lambda Networking, GN2..

Digital repositories

Media:HD/3D/Visualization

Computing: SuperComputing/GRIDS, DEISA

A new Media and Visualization layer to offer experimental media services, that integrates the new digital interfaces

European eInfrastructures (2013)

• An environment to enable users to set up the media-network infrastructure under requests when needed

• Collaboration between:– Network engineering research community– Media content research community

• These Media eInfrastructure should provide:– capacity detection: in order to distinguish between users (network and resources)– Transcodification: depending on the capacities the content should dynamically adapt, by

means of different codifications schemes– Security, integrity and confidentiality– Balancing/distribution/ load clustering– Content Storage capacity– Detection, publish and new contents service
