Network Development and
Deployment Initiative (NDDI)
Partnership that includes Internet2, Indiana University, &
the Clean Slate Program at Stanford as contributing
partners. Many global collaborators interested in
interconnection and extension
Builds on NSF's support for GENI and Internet2's BTOPfunded backbone upgrade
Seeks to create a software defined advanced-servicescapable network substrate to support network and
domain research [note, this is a work in progress]
Components of the NDDI Substrate

the community and allowing SDN innovations
Eventual goal to fully virtualize control plane to
enable substrate slices for community control,
research and service development

“Open”
• Although it may be disruptive to existing business models, we
are committed to extending a policy-free approach
• Each individual node should function like an “exchange point”
in terms of policy, cost, capabilities
• Fully distributed exchange will operate as close to exchange
point as possible given constraints: i.e. transport has
additional associated costs
– Inter-node transport scalability and funding needs discussion
– Initially, an open, best effort service
– Potential to add a dedicated priority queuing feature
• Internet2 would like to position this service on the forefront
of pushing “open” approaches in distributed networks.

OS3E Costs and Fees
• We understand the costs.
• There will likely be graduated fees:
– A fee for connectors only wishing to peer with other
connectors on the same switch.
– A greater fee for connectors wishing to utilize the
network interconnecting these exchange facilities.
• It is hard at this point to suggest exact fees, they
could be adapted depending on the adoption
levels.
• This discussion is more about gathering
information from the community.

ION
• ION
– Shared VLAN service across the Internet2 backbone
– Implemented as combination dedicated / scavenger service atop the
Layer 3 infrastructure
– Implements IDC protocol
– Implemented with OSCARS and perfSONAR-PS
• What’s new (October, 2011)
– Modified ION to be a persistent VLAN service
– Integrated with ESnet SDN, GÉANT AUTObahn, and USLHCnet as part
of DICE-Dynamic Service
• What’s planned (late 2011)
– As DYNES service rolls out, ION is the backbone linking the various
regional deployments
– Peer ION with OS3E in a few locations, run both services in parallel
– Campus / Regional IDCs can also peer with OS3E
27 – 4/2/2016, © 2011 Internet2
DYNES

LHCONE Status
• LHCONE is a response to the changing dynamic of
data movement in the LHC environment.
• It is composed of multiple parts:
– North America, Transatlantic Links, Europe
– Others?
• It is expected to be composed of multiple
services
– Multipoint service
– Point-to-point service
– Monitoring service
LHCONE Multipoint Service
• Initially created as a shared Layer 2 domain.
• Uses 2 VLANs (2000 and 3000) on separate
transatlantic routes in order to avoid loops.
• Enables up to 25G on the Trans-Atlantic routes for
LHC traffic.
• Use of dual paths provides redundancy.

DYNES/ION and LHCONE
• Simple to integrate DYNES/ION and LHCONE point-topoint service
• Possible to integrate DYNES/ION and LHCONE
multipoint service?
– DYNES / LHCONE Architecture team discussing ways to
integrate DYNES functionality with LHCONE
– It is expected that point to point connections through
DYNES would work …
– Possible to position DYNES as an ‘onramp’ or ‘gateway’ to
the multipoint service?
• Glue a dynamic connection from a campus (through a regional)
into the VLAN 2000/3000
• Requires some adjustments to the DYNES end-site addressing and
routing configurations to integrate into LHCONE multipoint layer2
environment
• Would allow smaller T3 sites in the US instant access as soon as
they get their DYNES gear.

Brocade switch.
– 40 Gbps could be available by 2012.
• Map dedicated VLANs through for Layer2 connectivity
beyond the ethernet switch.
• With the Brocade the possibility of higher layer
services should there be a need.
– This would include OpenFlow being enabled on the

Exploring what makes sense from a dynamic circuit network perspective. Given proximity to

Discussed current DYGIR and IRIS activities
Currently have ability to create VLANs on infrastructure. Looking to integrate with dynamic
circuit networks over next couple of years.
Exploring current GLORIAD peerings and heavy users to determine what use cases could
benefit from dynamic circuits.
Exploring best way to capitalize on perfSONAR – specifically looking at ways to publish passive
