1. StarPlane Meeting II 22-03-2006 @UvA

2. Appetizer DAS-3 Part We will take care of SURFnet Part

3. The Real STAR – mgmt plane Features: –Accessible for any node –Separate from optical connection –Interfacing to both application side & control plane –Extendable

4. CPU’s NOC Management plane =/= NOC

5. Potential architecture

6. List of Interfaces Application side Supported operations: –Connection_setup(inputs parameters) –Reservation(inputs parameters) –Change_topology(inputs parameters) Input parameters: –Label of Node (VU, UvA, Delft …) –Label of Color (Red, Blue, Green…) –Bandwidth (1Gbps, 10Gbps, x0Gbps) –Topology (star, ring, mesh, tree, …) –Time (standard timestamp) –…(to be discussed)

7. Example Connection_setup(“nodeA”, “nodeB”, 1gbps, “piece_of_string”, “2006- 04-20T00:00:00”) Connection_setup(“siteA”, “siteB”, “1@A’, “1@B”, 1gbps, “piece_of_string”, “2006-04-20T00:00:00”)

8. List of Interfaces II Control Plane side –GLSR/GLER Not known yet from Nortel ?

9. Open questions Do we need an extra server for mgmt plane? Security policy for the mgmt plane connection? www.starplane.org Mailinglist: STARPLANE@NIC.SURFNET.NLSTARPLANE@NIC.SURFNET.NL
