Dynamic circuits for a hybrid network

• A requirement for international cooperation• Experimental evaluation underway:

I2-DCN x AutoBAHN x ARGIA• Collaboration provided by international partners:

Internet2, Canarie, GEANT, NORDUnet• Various research groups engaged: CPqD, UECE, UFES,

UFF, UFPA, UFRJ, UFRS, UFSC, UNIFACS, USP


Project GIGA testbed

• Since 2002 RNP, the local NREN, and CPqD, the leading R&D centre in telecom, have jointly coordinated a large-scale experimental R&D initiative in networks and applications, built around a wide area optical testbed network in southeast Brazil, with the active participation of research groups from over 50 research institutions and local industry.

• In 2009, a second phase of this initiative was begun to focus more clearly on the future of the Internet, with support for a “clean-slate” approach– proposed provision of GENI or FIRE-style testbed with virtualised

resources and programmable network devices– testbed to be extended using circuits from RNP’s future hybrid

Research Network


RNP involvement in testbeds: pertinent strategic objectives

• testbed as a “pre-deployment” laboratory for future versions of RNP networks, with planetary scale experiments (using our international connections) when appropriate

• FIRE / GENI class testbed for Future Internet architectures and applications

• Wide involvement of Brazilian R&D groups and open to collaboration (federation) with similar initiatives in other countries– Focus on research and prototype development– Maintain close links with academic community and local industry– Participation in planetary-scale experiments


Some FI research activities in Brazil

• GIGA Phase 2 will support a wide variety of concurrent FI research activities, both in networking technologies and user applications.

• “Horizon” (new Internet architectures) approved in 2008 by Funttel (Brazil) and ANR (France)– UFRJ, Unicamp, PUC-Rio, UMPC (FR), industrial partners

• “Web Science” (consortium led by UFRJ) approved in 2008 by CNPq (National Institutes for S&T (INCT): 3 to 5 years)– experimental research into “Future Internet Architectures”

(researchers from RNP, UFF, UFPA, UNIFACS, USP)• initial construction of optical+wireless testbed, with adoption of PlanetLab/VINI for

network virtualization, based on RNP network


International collaborations - 1

• RNP strongly supports CLARA and the ALICE2 project, partially financed by the EU, which will improve international links within Latin America and to GEANT– RNP is investing in cross-border fibre projects connecting

Brazil to Southern Cone countries: Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay

– RNP and ANSP provide redundant connectivity to RedCLARA by ceding bandwidth between US and Brazil

• RNP is a member of – GLIF (Global Lambda Interactive Facility)

• development of circuit technologies and their use– CineGrid

• technologies and network support for digital cinema


International collaborations - 2

• RNP has recently supported a number of projects seeking US funding (IRNC2 programme from NSF). – FENRIR, “Federated Experimental Network Resources for

International Research” – NORDUnet– “Supporting eScience applications using path-engineered

multi-layer hybrid networks and wide-area file systems” – U. Virginia

– “AmLight Teleconcordia: Collaboratory Without Walls For Computational Science” - FIU


Conclusion

• RNP – provides network connectivity within Brazil and with other

countries– is modernizing its infrastructure to provide high-quality IP

and end-to-end circuit connectivity for scientific collaboration, both at national and international levels

– provides experimental infrastructure for FI R&D– is “well-connected” to research communities in FI in Brazil


RNP role in Brazilian R&E networking 14

RNP – Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa

• RNP is the Brazilian NREN– maintained by the Brazilian government (since 1989) to enable network

access to the national research and education community

– provides national (inter-state) and international R&E connectivity for more than 300 public and private universities and research centers through the provision of advanced networking infrastructure

• also provides commodity access – one-stop shopping

– promotes the development of advanced networking and applications

• Since 2000, RNP is managed for the federal government by a non-profit private company, RNP-OS, legally recognised as an “Organização Social”, which allows the government to contract its services without competitive tender.

• Annual cost of RNP is around US$ 25M (70% telco contracts)


RNP’s service networks

RNP includes the following funded connectivity:

• National backbone network – Rede IPÊ– 1 PoP (Point of Presence) in each state – usually a federal university– Link capacity depends on the available telco infrastructure– Currently from 2 Mbps to 10 Gbps

• Direct intercity connections between state PoP and non-local federal instituions (education, science and technology)– Currently from 2 to 155 Mbps (depends on the institution)

• Community-based optical metro networks connected to PoPs – Currently being built out – 4 out of 27 already in operation

No service charges are made to end user institutions• Non-federal institutions are normally required to fund their own

access links


Rede IPÊ – national backbone networkLast big reform in 2005 (5th

phase)

Capacity reflects available telco infrastructure

Currently composed of:• Multigigabit core network

– 4 PoPs at 10 Gbps, and 6 PoPs at 2.5 Gbps

– IP over lambdas (12.000 km)

• Terrestrial SDH connections to 15 PoPs– Most links are 34 Mbps– Some at 2 Mbps– Some upgrades in 2007 to

102, 155 and 622 Mbps• 2 PoPs connected by

satellite at 2 Mbps


Connections to federal institutions located outside cities with PoPs

• These include:– Universities, Technical Colleges, Agrotechnical schools, belonging to the

Ministry of Education– Research Centres belonging to the Ministry of S&T

• One of the most interesting cases is INPE – National Institute for Space Studies– Activities in Meteorology, Earth Observation, Environment, Space technology,

…– Main campus in São José dos Campus, SP (155 Mbps to SP)– Satellite communications centre in Cuiabá, MT

(soon to be 1 Gbps – metro network)– Radiotelescope in Eusébio, CE

(soon to be 1 Gbps – metro network)– Large computing centre (CPTEC) in Cachoeira Paulista, SP (155 Mbps to Rio

de Janeiro)


New computing cluster at INPE/CPTEC (2007)

• Cluster of 1100 processors, with peak rate of 5.7 Tflops.

• 62 TB of formatted disc storage

• Cost of US$2.4M.

• Occupied 416th of the “Top 500”

• Inaugurated on 31/7/2007


Community-based optical metropolitan networks

• Since 2004, RNP has also concentrated its attention on metropolitan networks, to provide adequate access to the multigigabit IPÊ network – Funding provided by Science and Technology ministry, complemented

by contributions from state and city governments and by private R&E participants

• These metro networks are based on owned dark fiber networks, shared between the R&E institutions served– typically operate at 1 Gbps and permit:

• interconnection of the campi of the participating institutions• access to RNP´s IPÊ network PoP• reduction of current costs• easy to upgrade (e.g. to 10 Gbps) – just replace the terminal equipment

• Pilot project: o projeto MetroBel na cidade de Belém do Pará, whose metropolitan area has a population of 2.2 millions– network was inaugurated in May 2007


MetroBel

• 12 institutions with 32 campi

• each institution has its own pair of fibers (for internal connectivity)

• 30 km ring (48 fibres)• 10 km extension to

Ananindeua (36 fibres)• 12 km access links (6 fibres)

to IPÊ network

Community metro networks nationally

• By mid 2010, RNP expects to have deployed all 27 of these networks, reaching all the metropolitan campi of around 250 R&E institutions countrywide at 1 Gbps

• In most of these the local governments are participating for internal IT and for connecting schools and hospitals

• This digital empowerment is expected to have significant consequences for the use of the national and international networks for scientific collaboration

Adoption of hybrid (packet + circuit) architecture

• Since 2002, the more advanced R&E networks in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific have been developing new forms of administering networks.

• Led by the Netherlands and Canada, these networks have sought to provide massive bandwidth, using WDM optical infrastructure, providing simultaneously:– Packet-switched network, like the present Internet– Circuit-switched network, for high-bandwidth applications such

as grid computing and interactive HD video, which require dynamic provisioning

• Such initiatives provide support for international collaboration through the GLIF (Global Lambda Integrated Facility)

Hybrid networks in Brazil?

• The main argument for hybrid networks is cost – they are the cheapest way to deploy really high capacity networks

• RNP feels it cannot ignore this tendency, without restricting certain classes of scientific collaboration.

• The hybrid architecture will be probably not be adopted everywhere at the same time, but will be introduced together with higher bandwidth links

Brazilian e-Science Collaboration Network: major objectives

• Promote colaboration in e-Science and provision of Cyberinfrastructure amongst its members;

• Encourage the expansion of the Collaboration Network;

• Promote Collaboration Network participation in national and international e-Science projects;

• Contribute to the discussion and formulation of public policy for the development of e-Science and investment in Cyberinfrastructure.

General Considerations

• Multiple network domains must be taken into consideration for end to end quality services– Both nationally and internationally– Seamless coordinated inter-operation between academic networks still a

challenge– A lot of progress being made lately thanks to big pushers / early

adopters• Astronomy, High Energy Physics Community, Climate, Earth Observation

• Integration between network, data repositories, compute, storage resources, applications and users is key– Cross disciplinary engagement

• Need broad strategical planning for partnerships, collaborations and funding

• Looking forward to increasing collaboration with Colombia
