Reconnections: Managing Academic Networks With New Requirements

 

Agenda/Proceedings

Tuesday Oct 25th

Time Topic
7:30 - 8:30 Continental Breakfast
8:30 - 8:45 Intro, Workshop Logistics
--
Deke Kassabian, U. Penn (Program Committee Chair) [PPT] [HTML]
8:45 - 9:15 The Commingled Universe of R+E Networking...
--
Ken Klingenstein, Internet2 [PDF]
9:15 - 10:00 Clean slate talk/presentation
--
David Clark, MIT [PDF]
10:00-10:30 Discussion - Relating the concepts
10:30 - 10:45 Break
10:45 - 11:30 What’s broken - Opportunistic approaches to network construction, ad hoc responses to security, the advent of policy disjoint from technology, and other factors have led to major challenges in managing the advanced campus network.
--
Terry Gray, U. Washington [PPT] [HTML]
11:30 - 12:00 Panel Discussion - From the perspectives of backbone, enterprise and user, what are the current points of pain? Issues as big as diagnosability, lack of predicatability, global multicast and as small as global time zones for NOCs
12:00 - 1:00 Lunch
1:00 - 1:45

Drivers - What are the trends and requirements for R&E networking and for managing those networks?

From the backbone and scientist view - panel:
What are the real needs - reliability, predictability, bandwidth, latency, jitter, transparency. What are the trends that might affect these requirements? How do overseas and national efforts interact as drivers? Does scale really matter?

Panel:
1:45 - 2:45 Drivers - What are the trends and requirements for R&E networking and for managing those networks?

From the campus view - panel:

Are there changing regulatory requirements? What components take the most management? Is desktop control likely to happen and would it be a good thing? Is reliability really necessary?
What are the scheduling requirements? What can and can't coexist on a physical network?
2:45 - 3:15 Break
3:15 - 4:15 Other drivers and opportunities
What are the likely policy requirements? Are there economic trends that will affect opportunities? Will AUPs persist? Will trusted computing affect the manageability issues? Are the economics of provisioning, bandwidth, equipment, manageability shifting?

How might middleware be used? How might trust fabrics affect R&E computing? Will both P2P trust and federated trust be useful? At what level of the protocol stack might trust be used and how?

Presentations:
4:15 - 5:00 Open Discussion: Themes that emerged from the day

Facilitator: Michael Gettes, Duke [PDF]

Going Forward

  • What and how do we add to the soup of activities already underway in rethinking?
