  1. Resource Brokering and Modeling Jeroen van der Ham & Paola Grosso UvA - AIR group http://www.science.uva.nl/research/air/ Resource Brokering and Modeling

  2. Our motivation The questions from the user: - how can I reserve paths (lightpaths) and book resources to run my applications? The questions from the provider: - How can we provide consistent interfaces? - How can we keep a consistent reservation system for the resources we control? End goal: - Completely automate the reservation and brokering for scenarios such as SC2004. Web services is an interesting solution to allow the users to access information on resources, their properties and services. Resource Brokering and Modeling

  3. Which resources? Resource Brokering and Modeling

  4. UvA LightHouse The control and brokering of the UvA/SARA LightHouse is our first implementation. Reason for this choice: • equipment we control and manage (==> single domain) A layer2 switch (Force10) … soon another Layer2/3 switch A photonic switch (GlimmerGlass) Computing nodes (VanGogh and Rembrandt clusters) • connection to NetherLight World-wide access from researchers Need for resources coordination The interesting difference: The LightHouse is about more than just network equipment control (UCLP, DRAC): computing element need to be reserved too. Resource Brokering and Modeling

  5. Resource brokering Client goal is simple: two resources need to be “connected” to each other. Main goal of a broker: path determination How two resources are made to communicate with each other? resource management How resources are assigned to users in coherent fashion? resource monitoring How resource usage is monitored for planning purposes, for security assessment and error recovery? performance monitoring How the user request, service levels are guaranteed and monitored? Resource Brokering and Modeling

  6. Resources and reservations Starting point: The definition of the basic element, such resources, reservations, paths… Resource Brokering and Modeling

  7. Path determination Second step: Definition of the interfaces to the client… What should the client be able to know? The complete list of resources The list of types of resources The list of resources of a certain type The list of resources available at a certain time The possibility of creating a path between two resources Resource Brokering and Modeling

  8. Resource Management • The client can: • check for availability of a path • reserve a path • - cancel/confirm • The broker will: • maintain a list of resources • maintain the list of reservation Resource Brokering and Modeling

  9. Under the hood…. We need a model for the underlying network elements, so that we can control them… Resource Brokering and Modeling

  10. WEB portals 1. Network Element modeling: http://trafficlight.uva.netherlight.nl:8080/AIR/ For network element monitoring and simple configuration. This integrated with the AAA server from UvA (you need a username and a password to use it) 2. Resource Broker portal (under development): http://trafficlight.uva.netherlight.nl:8080/RB/ For reservation of resources. Resource Brokering and Modeling

  11. Conclusions This is work in progress… aiming for complete version for use in iGrid2005 and SC05 (Sep. and Nov. 2005).
