First cut at NSI arch strawman/call info
by John Vollbrecht 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

We will have a call next wed at 9 ET call info is Call: +1-734-615-7474 (PSTN CALL-OUT DOES NOT WORK) or +1-866-411-0013 (toll free US/Canada Only) Enter access code: 0155180 Attached is a first cut at a document that might be a strawman architecture doc for end of May. It has some initial sections and a set of proposed sections. I attempted to describe the architecture in some detail, and included a Glossary of terms (which might be better moved to a different location - any suggestions?). I would like to review the doc and especially the headings and glossary next Wed to see if we can come up with an agreed outline. If we agree then we need to have editors for each section. I propose the following from the group that has been participating - it is a starting place for discussion. Please suggest changes and also please comment on whether any seems unreasonable and/or would work for you. 1. Doc Overview [ Guy, Tomohiro, John] 2. NSI arc overview [ John, Tomohiro, Guy, Pascale, Chin, Joe, Jerry ] 3. Connections - Network and User View [ John, Joe,Tomohiro, Radek, Pascale, Aaron, Eduard] 4. NSI environments [ Radek, Joe, Guy, Joan, Jerry] 5. Reservations, resources and instantiation [Tomohiro, Chin, Evangelos, Andy Lake] 6. Negotiation [Jerry, Chin] 7. Naming [Jeroen, Aaron, Freek, John, Chin] 8. Policy, Authentication and Trust, Prioritzation, Job Control [tbd] 9. Interface description details [Radek, Andy, Joan, Chin, Evangelos, Fred] other?

Re: [Nsi-wg] Call for Participation: OFC/NFOEC Workshop on Grid vs Cloud/Utility Computing and Optical Networks
by Simeonidou, Dimitra 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Dear Colleagues, This is invite you to attend the upcoming workshop at OFC/NFOEC (see http://www.ofcnfoec.org/conference_program/Workshops_and_Panels.aspx) Here's the latest info on the workshop. Feel free to dsitribute to your colleagues and hope to see you there. ------------- Workshop Title: Grid vs Cloud Computing and Why This Should Concern the Optical Networking Community Time and Place: Monday March 23, 2009, 8 to 11am, Room 6E at the San Diego Convention Center Organizers: Chunming Qiao¹, Dimitra Simeonidou², Bill St. Arnaud³, Peter Tomsu4; ¹SUNY at Buffalo, USA, ²Univ. of Essex, UK, ³Canarie Inc., Canada, 4Cisco Systems Ltd., USA. Descriprtion: Recently, there has been a lot of interests in Cloud, Grid and Utility computing and their influence in shaping the future network infrastructure. While Grid Computing is geared mainly towards scientific users and Grids, both Cloud and Utility computing are for enterprises. The common point for both approaches is their reliance on high speed optical networks to provide advanced and flexibly reconfigurable infrastructure. Optical network researchers are facing big challenges in delivering the necessary technologies for supporting Cloud, Grid and Utility computing services. Such technologies and services will change the Internet in much the same way as distributed and parallel computing has changed the computation and cyber-infrastructure today. The workshop will discuss various Cloud, Grid and Utility Computing approaches and will present the challenges (research and implementation) for our community. Schedule: Welcome/Introduction Clouds and Optical Networks, Bill St. Arnaud, CANARIE Inc., Canada Challenges in Enabling Cloud Computing over Optical Networks, Piero Castoldi, Barbara, Martini, Fabio Baroncelli, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna Univ. Italy Challenges in Enabling Grid Computing over Optical Networks, Cees de Laat, Univ. of Amsterdam, Netherlands Virtualizing and scheduling network resource for emerging IT services: the CARRIOCAS approach, Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet (INRIA) & Dominique Verchère (Alcatel Lucent BellLabs) Energy / cost beneifts of cloud computing, Rodney Tucker, U. Melbourne, Australia Opportunities in Optical Grid and Clouding Computing, Chunming Qiao, SUNY Buffalo, USA Panel discussion and Q&A

call tomorrow 9 ET
by John Vollbrecht 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

We will have a call tomorrow for architecture subgroup at 9 ET (2 CET) [I think this is Daylight saving confusion time]. call info-- Call: +1-734-615-7474 (PSTN CALL-OUT DOES NOT WORK) or +1-866-411-0013 (toll free US/Canada Only) Enter access code: 0155180 tentative agenda 1) review OGF meeting ( I am not sure if we have minutes for the meetings) 2) plan next steps for creating doc For next steps, I suggest that we try to get a document in strawman form for OGF at end of May. We can discuss how to best do this. My current thinking is that it would be good split the document into sections and have small groups take responsibiliy for each section. Some possible sections - overview of NS and NSI, including terms and definitions - description of how NS might be provided and used - by small users - by infrastructure providers - by virtual organizations - requirements that are needed from other standards groups - scheduling - Trust and authentication - negotiation - connectivity (topology) sharing - pathfinding - joint standardization - naming and network modeling - Interface requirements for "support" information - seems to me that topology, pathfinding, scheduling might be done on either side of the interface. I am thinking it would be good to explore this. Others ? The above is to start discussion. John John Vollbrecht Senior Network Engineer, Internet2 office 734 352 4960 cell 734 395 7890
