Review of HOPI Ideas
Current Status
Control Plane
New Internet2 Network
• Relationship to HOPI
• Connections
HOPI Project - Overview
• How does one effectively use a richer set of
capabilities available to network designers and end
users?
• Core IP packet switched networks
• A set of optically switched lightpaths available for dynamic provisioning
• Fundamental Question: How will the core Internet
architecture evolve?
• Examine a hybrid of shared IP packet switching and
dynamically provisioned circuits
• HOPI Project – Hybrid Optical and Packet
Infrastructure - how does one put it all together?
• Dynamic Provisioning - setup and teardown of optical paths
• Hybrid Question - how do end hosts use the combined packet and circuit
switched infrastructures?
HOPI General Problem
Lightpaths Across Domains
HOPI Status
• HOPI is currently mapped through Abilene, although the New Internet2
Network will soon support NYC - DC - Chicago
• Installed Node Locations (all support International connectivity)
•
•
•
•
Los Angeles Equinix facility - same location as CENIC node
Washington, DC MAX/Dragon facility - same location as the Internet2 node
StarLight in Chicago
The Pacific Northwest GigaPoP in Seattle - Westin Building, the Internet2
node
• New York City – NYSERNet area in 32 AoA - same location as Internet2
node (many thanks to NYSERNet for donating rack space and power to
support the HOPI project).
• Circuits to Europe
• Circuit from NYC to London - connection to GEANT2
• GEANT2 circuit from Paris to NYC - connection to GEANT2 for service trial
• Now have 4 circuits supporting P2P services and one for IP peering, all
through MAN LAN
HOPI Topology
HOPI Node
Control Plane
• Control Plane Activities - Uses DRAGON software
•
•
•
•
Uni for applications
VLSR - Virtual label switched router
NARB - Network access resource broker
ASTs - Application specific topologies. Successful demonstrations of
these at Internet2 member meeting
• Specific types of services
• Immediate reservation
• Advanced reservation
•

Monitoring and managing a dynamic layer1 network
Data collection similar to Abilene observatory
AAA development
Measurement activities
Strong Collaboration with ESnet and Geant2
HOPI Testbed Support Center (TSC)
• TSC is a collaboration between
• The IU NOC - focusing on advanced engineering
• NCREN (MCNC) - focusing on applications
• MAX - focusing on control plane development
• Expanded commitment to these partners for developing
capabilities on the new Internet2 Network
• New agreements
• With all TSC partners
• Leadership from Tom Lehman of ISI for inter-domain control plane
development
• Leadership from Jerry Sobieski of MAX for TSC program direction
• New Staff that are working on HOPI and the new Internet2
Network - Brian Cashman and John Vollbrecht
Example Project on HOPI and the
Internet2 Network
• Phoebus - TCP data flows
• File transfers over long distance segments
not requiring congestion control
The Internet2 Network
Rick Summerhill
DWDM Network
• Internet2 and ESnet have formed a partnership to build
their respective networks on this DWDM footprint
• ESnet hybrid network
• An IP network connecting the labs
• An lower layer network for deterministic services
• Internet2 hybrid network
• An IP network similar to the existing Abilene network
• A layer 1 dynamically provisioned network providing HOPI like
services
• Static and Dynamic services will be available to other
partners
Layer 1 Network

Multiservice Switching Infrastructure
Rick Summerhill
Node Architecture
•Infinera DWDM Gear Static at the start
•Ciena CoreDirector to
provide sub channels and
HOPI types of activities at
the start
•Simplified and
standardized interface to
connectors, exchange
points, and other global
research and education
networks - 2 x 10 Gbps
interfaces
•Measurement and control
servers will support the
node
Node Architecture
•Example of Optical only
Node for connected RON
or Peer Network
Relationship between HOPI and the
Internet2 Network
• HOPI will continue as a testbed - will retain national
footprint
• The Dynamic Capabilities on the Internet2 Network to
provide a persistent service for applications
• Documents: Connecting to the Internet2 Network
• Appendix: Service Definition on the HOPI testbed and the
Multiservice Switching Network
• Appendix: An Example of how to connect
• More on this now …
Connecting to HOPI and the Internet2
Network - An Example, Phase 1
• Campus connects through RON that could be
Static
• Ethernet based
• Connect to HOPI control plane
Phase 2
• Separate the control planes
Phase 3
• RON installs control plane
Phase 4
• Move to the Multiservice Switching
Infrastructure on the Internet2 Network
• There are many other possible alternatives
