Enhancing Global Research Networks: TransLight/StarLight Collaboration Overview

The TransLight/StarLight initiative, part of the NSF International Research Network Connections (IRNC) program, aims to enhance scientific research through advanced networking. This collaboration connects U.S. and European research facilities via high-capacity internet links, facilitating groundbreaking studies and e-science projects. The network supports robust IP services and provides essential bandwidth for real-time data transfers, showcased in high-profile events like iGrid 2005. With participation from 20 nations, this program advances the use of hybrid networks for global scientific collaboration.

Presentation Transcript

  1. NSF International Research Network Connections (IRNC) Program: TransLight/StarLight Maxine D. Brown and Thomas A. DeFanti Electronic Visualization Laboratory UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO Internet2 Spring Member Meeting International Task Force April 24, 2006

  2. TransLight/StarLight Funds Two Trans-Atlantic Links GÉANT PoP @ AMS-IE NetherLight StarLight MAN LAN • OC-192 routed connection between MAN LAN in New York City and the Amsterdam Internet Exchange that connects the USA Abilene and ESnet networks to the pan-European GÉANT2 network • OC-192 switched connection between StarLight in Chicago and NetherLight in Amsterdam that is part of the GLIF LambdaGrid fabric

  3. TransLight/StarLight NYC/AMS Network Engineering • Phase 2 will continue to support production IP services between GÉANT2 and MAN LAN, but doesn’t require a router in NYC and will support lightpaths if and when needed

  4. TransLight/StarLight CHI/AMS Network Engineering

  5. iGrid 2005September 26-30, 2005, San Diego, California • 4th community-driven biennial International Grid event • To accelerate the use of multi-10Gb international and national networks • To advance scientific research • To educate decision makers, academicians and industry researchers on the benefits of hybrid networks • 49 demonstrations showcasing global experiments in e-Science and next-generation shared open-source LambdaGrid services • 20 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, CERN, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, UK, USA • 25 lectures, panels and master classes as part of a symposium • 100Gb into the Calit2 building on the UCSD campus • All IRNC links used!

  6. Bandwidth Usage Encouraged! Most extreme usage done at conferences NetherLight StarLight GÉANT2 PoP MAN LAN SC|05 iGrid 2005 iGrid 2005 SC|05

  7. Real-Time Global e-Very Long Baseline Interferometry:Exploring TransLight/StarLight Persistent Connectivity • iGrid Goal: Real-time e-VLBI data correlation from telescopes in USA, Sweden, Netherlands, UK and Japan with MIT Haystack correlator • Achieved 512Mb transfers from USA and Sweden for iGrid 2005 Optical connections dynamically managed using the DRAGON control plane and Internet2 HOPI network Source: Jerry Sobieski, DRAGON

  8. Applications Needing Deterministic Networks:Guaranteed Bandwidth, Latency, Scheduling Coming Summer 2006! Special iGrid 2005 issue 25 Refereed Papers!
