HOPI is a TESTBED - Lets try some
new stuff
• What are the unique aspects of
HOPI?
– Hybrid
– Optical
– Packet
– Infrastructure
• The “New Internet2 Network” offers a
path from crazy ideas to production
What are the unique opportunities for
HOPI?
• Hybrid
– At what point do we introduce hybridness?
– What do we mean by hybrid?
• Optical
– Lots o’ 10G waves
– True TDM circuits
• Packet
– IP service
• Infrastructure
– Reach
– Flexibility and dynamic provisioning
Candidate applications categories
• E-science
– Techniques for improving network performance for science
– Must scale to very rigorous performance parameters
(throughput, delay, jitter, loss)
– Scheduled vs on-demand
• Gaming
– Ad hoc sessions or persistent worlds?
– Potentially need to scale to large numbers of users
– Network performance is important for reducing period of
world inconsistency
– Serious games
• Traffic engineering
• Disaster recovery
Next step(s)
• HOPI call for participation
• Additional workshops
