  4. IQ-ECho: Middleware Principles for Network-aware Collaboration • Adaptive Peer-to-Peer Data Exchange: • IQ-ECho: High performance events: • Event-based peer-to-peer streaming data communications -binary data exchanges (PBIO) for interactive apps (steering, real-time collaboration, …) • Source-based filtering: IQ-services deployed to meet required application QoS, i.e., by disposition of application-specific code into remote sites and underlying platform • Dynamic quality attributes: coordinated adaptation of platform (e.g., communication protocols)and of interactive applications • Network-awareness: adaptive communications (with Nagi Rao/ORNL, Constantinos Dovrolis/GT): • Runtime detection of congestion • Runtime response: adaptation: re-routing, concurrent paths, coordinated protocol/application response (IQ-RUDP)

  5. Real-time Collaboration with IQ-ECho Filters Adaptive Source-based Filtering Dynamic Quality Attributes Multiple Event Types

  6. Types of adaptation Middleware- and/or Network-level: • Frequency • Same amount of data but different rate • Resolution • Same rate, different amount • Reliability • Changing proportion of discardable packets • Multiple Connections • Protecting critical connections from large-data traffic

  7. Adaptive Communication • Adapt what? • Congestion windows + data rates • Issues: • Transport cannot delegate all adaptation choices to applications and still be fair to the network • Applications cannot delegate all adaptation to the transport without limiting their choices or incurring difficulties (e.g., QoS translation) • Goal: • provide a mechanism to allow effective application adaptations while remaining network-friendly

  8. Coordinated Adaptation • Use `quality attributes’ to share information across middleware/protocol - IQ-Services • `Coordination methods’ Services/Protocol to address: • Conflicting adaptations • Combined effect of adaptation that may lead to overreaction • Limited application adaptation granularity • Others, ... • Problems important in networks where (delay * bandwidth) is large: • cost of adaptation • delay before correction of mistakes

  9. Middleware/Protocol Interactions • IQ-Services in Middleware: • Application-relevant data manipulation: • Data prioritizers, data filters, downsamplers • Controlled by dynamic quality attributes • On-line Network Measurement: • e.g., Rao’s TCP-based methods • Using an Instrumented Protocol: IQ-RUDP extends Reliable UDP • TCP-friendly congestion control (LDA algorithm) • Exposes network performance metrics • Supports application-registered callbacks • Application-controlled adaptive reliability

  10. Middleware Architecture

  11. Evaluation of Coordinated Adaptation • How effective is coordination in two-layer adaptations? • Metric is “smoothness” of delay over time • Evaluate three cases where coordination is necessary • Hold application traffic pattern constant, vary network bandwidth • iperf used to generate background traffic • Hold network bandwidth constant, vary application traffic • Emulate content delivery server using MBONE trace • Drive adaptations using callbacks on error ratio

  12. Example: Conflicting Adaptations • No Coordination • Transport unaware of adaptation • All packets sent regardless of priority • More unmarked packets delivered • Larger delay for marked packets • Coordination • Transport can drop non-priority packets • Better delay/jitter for high priority packets • Average delay improves due to spacing

  13. Conflicting Adaptations • IQ-RUDP (on right) achieves lower avg delay (emulation results)

  14. Example: Metadata-based Filtering • IQ-RUDP (on right) achieves substantially higher frame rate (measured results)

  15. Conclusions and Status • Key technologies: • Adaptive, lightweight middleware services • software release of IQ-ECho available soon (installation at ORNL in progress) • Coordinated middleware/network (re)actions (through quality attributes) • generalizes to other network efforts (e.g., Net100) • Heterogeneous, distributed collaboration with high end data streams: • Smartpointer (MD - SC2002) • Evaluation on wide area networks • Internet, GT/ORNL link (yet to come) • Focus on integration • MxN services, AG 2.x

  16. Ongoing Efforts and Leverage • Deployment and Evaluation (Year 3): • Realistic applications and testbeds: • deploy remote collaboration infrastructure (with ORNL) and experiment across ORNL/GT Gigabit Testbed (with N. Rao, ORNL) • experiment with other data sets (e.g., spallation neutron source), other protocols, other network measurement methods (NSF/DOE) • CCA/OGSI integration: • CCA integration: use MxN service as challenge example (joint with James Kohl - ORNL) • OGSI integration challenge example: remote graphics services for AG-> OGSI, directory services • Leverage: CERCS and GT/ORNL efforts: • NSF Netreact project • integrated network measurement - w. Dovrolis, Rao • NSF XML project - dynamic metadata • Teragrid and GT/ORNL and GT/NRL: high end network links

  17. Future Work • Platform resources: effective deployment: • Servers: real-time data transformation with the Terastream server (utilizing end points!) • Networks: • application-specific processing on programmable routers • utilizing high end links, e.g.,Teragrid • Dynamic data interoperability: • heterogeneous data, using XML markups • automating XML/binary translations • Protected services: • controlling IQ-service execution
