Designing the Multi Domain Service Architecture for Network Connectivity Services in the GÉANT3 project Brian Bach Mortensen, NORDUnet Terena Networking Conference Vilnius 2010
Outline • GÉANT Service area • Terminology and definitions • Service catalogue and portfolio • Service Architecture • Service Level Specification • Operational Level Agreement • Service descriptions and SLS • Static connectivity service • Dynamic connectivity service • Q&A
GÉANT service area • Services provided jointly by independent organizations • Technological differences • Organizational differences • Targets and challenges • Joint service should hide internal differences • Support structure (service desk, monitoring) possible provided by organizations
Service Demarcation Point (SDP) • Define a point where the service • is delivered: • An ”Equipment identifier” • Unique URN • A ”Port” identifier • A ”Service ID” identifier • <E/P/I> tuple • The syntax of the SDP may vary • from service to service
Service Portfolio and Catalogue • Define a common service catalogue of connectivity services that can be offered to the NREN users • Currently two main connectivity services are in progress (design phase): Static connectivity service Dynamic connectivity service

Service Descriptions (1) • Two service descriptions are delivered: • A General Service Description (GSD) • Non technical description of the service • Less than 300 words • Can be used by NRENs to advertise the service towards end users e.g: • “The GN3 Multi-domain Wavelength-based Static Connectivity Service (in the following referred to as “the service”) is an end-to-end, point-to-point connectivity service for data transport. Currently, the data transport capacity dedicated to a connection can range from 1 Gbit/s up to 40 Gbit/s.” • A few more paragraphs to further explain what the service offers • Simplicity is key!
Service Descriptions (2) • A Service Functionality Description (SFD) • Technically oriented description of the service • Targetted at the NOC managers and operational staff at the instituitions that needs the service • Covers management of the service e.g: • Fault management, service delivery management, accounting management, performance management, security management, etc. etc. • Some dataplane specifics e.g. possible interfaces/protocols at service demarcation points between the NREN and user institution
Service Level Specification • Specifies all the measureable service levels that the GN3 service consortium endeavours to deliver : • Examples: • Availability of the service (with specifications of measurement criterias when the service is compliant) • Packet loss, delay, etc. • MTU sizes, maximum burst sizes • Service Delivery times • Service initiation • Service operation change • Service removal

Static connectivity service • A static connectivity service offering SDH, Ethernet interfaces • 1-40Gb/s • Deterministic delay behaviour • (Some) open issues • Lead times • NRENs have very different lead times (technology dependent) • Lowest lead time can not be used • Highest may slow down even simple deliveries • A combination depending on request and possible paths may be the optimum solution • Path diversity? • Both inside individual networks and the whole multidomain path?
Dynamic connectivity service (1) • A dynamic, end-to-end Ethernet connectivity service • Point-to-Point (between two SDPs within the joint domain) • Four tranport modes under consideration • Transport of untagged Ethernet frames • Transport of a specific VLAN (with or without VLAN rewrite) • Transport of all tagged Ethernet frames • Delivering untagged frames to specific VLAN • Bandwidth: 1Mbps-10Gbps (1Mbps steps), MTU: Standard, Jumbo • Path control (i.e, use/avoid domains/nodes) for diverse routing • Relatively short-living circuits with small lead time
Dynamic connectivity service (2) • Participation requirements: Participating domains must implement the required supporting services. • Supporting services (draft list) • Inter-Domain Topology Distribution • Inter-Domain Path Finding • Intra-Domain Transport • Monitoring • Authorization and Authentication • Service Desk • Accounting & Billing • GN tools like AutoBAHN, cNIS, perfSONAR, eduGAIN can be used for this purpose; • but a domain can use its own tools as well
The Teams • Static service design lead by Dr. Andreas Hanemann/Rebecca Corn • Carlos Friacas, Mark Yampolskiy, Andrea Kropacova, Gloria Vuagnin, MaciejŁabędzki, Kurosh Bozorgebrahimi, Tangui Coulouarn, Wolfgang Fritz • Dynamic service design lead by Andreas Polyrakis • Jerry Sobieski, Tomasz Szewczyk, Milosz Przywecki., Leonidas Poulopoulos, Bartosz Belter, Gustavo Neves, Jacek Łukasik, Damian Parniewicz, Kostas Stamos, Joan Garcia Espin, Jordi Jofre
