Building Dynamic Lightpaths in GÉANT Tangui Coulouarn, DeIC E-Infrastructure Autumn Workshop, Chiinău 8 September 2014

2 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate Agenda GÉANT connectivity services Multi-domain services What is Bandwidth-on-Demand? Some technical aspects of the service: AutoBAHN, NSI, etc. Work in Progress: Monitoring and AAI

3 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate Different uses of the networks “Big Science” may need to send very large amounts of data Other international projects need dedicated/overlay networks Network technologists need test beds Yet some people still ship hard drives…

4 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate GÉANT connectivity services GÉANT IP GÉANT L3VPN GÉANT Plus GÉANT Lambda GÉANT Open GÉANT MDVPN GÉANT Bandwidth-on- Demand (BoD)

5 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate Backbone services and multi-domain services Backbone services are delivered and operated by DANTE One operator Usually one technology E.g. GÉANT Plus, GÉANT Lambda Other services are multi-domain Multiple operators Multiple technologies E.g. MDVPN, BoD

6 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate What is Bandwidth-on-Demand? Ability to deliver point-to-point L2 circuits with guaranteed parameters Circuits provisioned on-demand or scheduled in advance Software controlled Initiated by end-users through GUI or application AutoBAHN apps for Android and iOS

7 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate BoD is a service co-provided by European NRENs and GÉANT Agreements on the properties of the service Common AUP Common procedures One multi-domain service desk Etc.

8 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate A technology agnostic service GÉANT BoD is a tool-agnostic service, it is: multi-domain multi-vendor multi-technology

9 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate AutoBAHN as an option to run BoD GÉANT offers technological support for deployment and implementation of the service AutoBAHN is the provisioning software used by the majority of European NRENs It has three main components - the Inter-Domain Manager - the Domain Manager - the Technology Proxy

10 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate AutoBAHN can run on multiple technologies

11 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate BoD Client Portal (1)

12 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate BoD Client Portal (2)

13 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate DeIC NORDUnetGÉANT MANLAN ESnet DTU SLAC AutoBAHN OpenNSAOSCARS Still, need for provisioning systems to interoperate: concrete example

14 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate NSI: Global Standard Emerging for Interoperability NSI CS: Network Service Interface Connection Services protocol Developed by the community in the OGF Agreement by multiple networks to deploy the current version (NSI CS v2.0)

15 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate GÉANT BoD is NSI compliant In GN3: BoD used the IDCP developed within DICE collaboration Peering mostly with North America In the final reporting period NSI v1.0 compatibility During GN3plus: Native compliance to NSI v2.0 Involved a total rewrite of the IDM module Global reach In production since April 2014 Tests going on with global partners

16 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate Work in Progress for Monitoring Control-plane solution recycling existing technologies (NAGIOS plugins, Icinga) CMon-D co-developed with SA4 for data- plane monitoring as a PerfSONAR extension

17 Connect | Communicate | Collaborate Work in Progress for AAI GUI eduGAIN-enabled Agreement with non- AutoBAHN domains regarding the European AAI approach: Extending the approach already adopted by an NREN Token based to exert control where it matters Standardisation effort within the NSI working group for a global solution
