Jennifer Schopf, Director of International Networks at Indiana University's Information Technology Services, discusses the recent US$600K National Science Foundation-funded initiative aimed at supporting users exploring 100G circuits. This project focuses on providing practical resources for users, extending monitoring tools, and enhancing network capabilities through dedicated testbeds. Insights into challenges such as link functionality and cross-domain debugging are shared, underscoring the need for collaboration and information sharing in the scientific community. For collaboration or information, reach out to jmschopf@iu.edu.

Supporting Greater than 10G Users Jennifer Schopf Director, International Networks University Information Technology Services Indiana University jmschopf@indiana.edu Supported by the National Science Foundation
Supplement to Support Use of 100g • IU received US$600K supplement from NSF • Direct support for users to try out 100G circuits • Funding to support extending monitoring tools • IXIA 100G Tester • NOTE: Not money for circuits, but support for *USE* of circuits
Testbed Use • We’re primarily using the ANA-100-G circuit • We writeup a request for time, equipment, etc identifying our partners for the work • This is evaluated by the consortium owners • Their goal is to broadly support science – for more information here please contact • Erik-Jan Bosejb@jibconsult.nl • Could use other testbeds, such as ESNet 100G domestic testbed
What Are We Seeing • 1) The hardest part is working with the links between the end user’s site and the testbed • 2) How many applications *really* need this? • 3) Language issues • 4) Baseline functionality issues vs higher level, often experimental, tech
What Are We Seeing • 5) Very different requirements even for a single appl. • 6) Cross-domain network debugging is HARD • 7) We need to share information about what works better
