| 2006 | TeraPaths: End-to-End Network Path QoS Configuration Using Cross-Domain Reservation NegotiationabstractTeraPaths is a DOE MICS/SciDAC-fundedproject conceived to address the needs of the high energy and nuclear physics scientific community for effectively protecting data flows of various levels of priority through modern high-speed networks. TeraPaths is rapidly evolving from a last-mile, LAN QoS provider to a distributed end-to-end network path QoS negotiator through multiple administrative domains. Developed as a web service-based software system, TeraPaths automates the establishment of network paths with QoS guarantees between end sites by configuring their corresponding LANs and requesting MPLS paths through WANs on behalf of end users. The primary mechanism for the creation of such paths is the negotiation and placement of advance reservations across all involved domains. This paper describes the status of the project, our experiences so far, as well as the directions of our continued work. Bruce Gibbard, Dimitrios Katramatos, Dantong Yu, Shawn McKee |

| 2006 | The Design and Demonstration of the Ultralight TestbedabstractIn this paper we present the motivation, the design, and a recent demonstration of the UltraLight testbed at SC|05. The goal of the Ultralight testbed is to help meet the data-intensive computing challenges of the next generation of particle physics experiments with a comprehensive, network- focused approach. UltraLight adopts a new approach to networking: instead of treating it traditionally, as a static, unchanging and unmanaged set of inter-computer links, we are developing and using it as a dynamic, configurable, and closely monitored resource that is managed from end-to-end. To achieve its goal we are constructing a next-generation global system that is able to meet the data processing, distribution, access and analysis needs of the particle physics community. In this paper we will first present early results in the various working areas of the project. We then describe our experiences of the network architecture, kernel setup, application tuning and configuration used during the bandwidth challenge event at SC|05. During this Challenge, we achieved a record-breaking aggregate data rate in excess of 150 Gbps while moving physics datasets between many Grid computing sites. Harvey B.

| 2006 | The Design and Implementation of the Transatlantic Mission-Oriented Production and Experimental NetworksabstractIn this paper we present the design and implementation of the mission-oriented USLHCNet for HEP research community and the UltraLight network testbed. The design philosophy for these networks is to help meet the data-intensive computing challenges of the next generation of particle physics experiments with a comprehensive, network-focused approach. Instead of treating the network as a static, unchanging and unmanaged set of intercomputer links, we are developing and using it as a dynamic, configurable, and closely monitored resource that is managed from end-to-end. In this paper we will present our work in the various areas of the project including infrastructure construction, protocol research and application development. Our goal is to construct a next-generation global system that is able to meet the data processing, distribution, access and analysis needs of the particle physics community. Harvey B.

| 2006 | Bandwidth challenge - High speed data gathering, distribution and analysis for physics discoveries at the large Hadron colliderabstractThe latest WAN infrastructure and Grid-based Web Services will be used to demonstrate movement and analysis of TeraByte-scale event datasets for particle physics. Optimized transfers of data over 10Gbit/sec networks linking servers and disk systems will be shown using the latest processors, PCI-Express NICs, RAID arrays and firmware. All available lambdas arriving at the SC06 show floor will be saturated, in full duplex mode. The WAN performance will be monitored using the MonALISA distributed agent-based system. A suite of Grid-enabled Analysis tools developed at Caltech, University of Florida and Michigan will be used, as will. EGEE, OSG, ATLAS and CMS data management software such as SRM, dCache, FTS, and PhEdEx. Prototypes of the latest version of parallel NFS will demonstrate excellent utilization of 10Gbit/sec connections during execution of the analysis tasks.We intend to exceed the aggregate rate of 150Gbits/sec we achieved in our SC2005 Bandwidth Challenge winning entry.
