UCLPv1 demo at JT 2005 Users’ needs => 9k App Overview

• Test MTU/RTT effect on key GRID applications

• Visualization

• Distributed File Systems

• Solution use UCLPv1 to create 9000 byte paths

• Physics (UVic/UofAlberta) connect to WestGrid (SFU)

• Apparent Networks (Loki Jorgenson) troubleshoot drops!

• Setup dual WestGrid layer 2 to VizServer & GridStore

• 4 months to build network - extensive testing in progress

U. ofAlberta

UCLPv1 demo at JT 2005Use Case 1

1. uses UCLPv1 to connect to VizServer

2. logs in, creates connection

3. starts VizClient

4. displays molecule

5. quits VizClient

6. uses UCLPv1 to disable the light path

Bryan Caron

UCLPv1 demo at JT 2005Use Case 2

1. invited to connect to VizServer session

2. logs in on existing UCLPv1 connection

3. starts VizClient

4. collaborates on same molecule

5. quits VizClient

6. uses UCLPv1 to disable the light path

UCLPv1 demo at JT 2005 More about 9k App - Issues

• UCLPv1 experience base – tricky config

• ONS to campus & cross campus fiber

• black hole (unrouted) IPv4 – ARP leakage

• VLAN – Configuration – Layer 2 sniffing

• mystery behavior – protocol & MTU specific drops

• testing in progress >>> preliminary tommorow

• expect thorough scientific characterization of visualization and network file system performance

UCLPv1 demo at JT 2005 More about 9k DDS - Preliminary

• Implement Drug Discovery GRID System

• GRID - Work Flow - Instruments

• VizServer - Distributed File Systems

• Solution use UCLPv2 to create Project Network

• Build Project Network to 4 Universites + Genome Science

• Upgrade Netera & BCNET RONs

• Integrate UCLPv2 with Life Science software

• Excpect 5 business quarters to build
