The demonstrations involve the transport of enormous volumes of data at a rate of 40 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to support coming research applications, including enabling the use of the Internet2 and ESnet nNetwork s to transmit data in association withfrom the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new internationally-funded particle accelerator that begins operations next year in Geneva, Switzerland. The collaborating companies are lending cutting-edge hardware, software and application services to illustrate the advanced networking and computing capabilities available to the research, engineering and technology communities. The first demonstration involves the transmission of data between Chicago and the SC07 show floor at a rate of 40 Gbps, the highest-speed networking service available today. The second demonstration involves the use of GMPLS-UNI signaling between routers and optical systems in the network to enable the optical and IP layers in the network to work together to deliver maximum intelligence and flexibility to users of the network. Each of the partners - Caltech, ESnet, Fermilab, Infinera, Internet2, Juniper Networks and Level 3 - brings unique networking and storage technology to these demonstrations. The partnership between Internet2 and these leading technology companies organizations is a model example of collaboration to propel innovation. Our members from the research community and from industry are working together to push the technology boundaries so scientific researchers can do things that would have been unimaginable ten years ago.We are all working together to constantly improve, develop and advance the high-performance computing and networking capabilities required to meet evolving demands in research and education, said Dr. Rick Summerhill, chief technology officer, Internet2. These demonstrations are exemplary of the benefits resulting from sharing knowledge and resources to usher in the next wave of technological advancements. The seven companies involved in the demonstrations are each providing specific services and/or solutions during the course of the two-day SC07 exhibition session. Participating companies include: California Institute of Technology, a leading institution of higher education and home to the first LHC Tier-2 center at Caltechs Center for Advanced Computing Researcha leading institution of higher education, is using its latest computing cluster at SC|07 resources toto receive and receive and store multi-Terabyte large vvolumes of data. The Caltech high energy physics and network engineering teams, funded by the US Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation in the US LHCNet and UltraLight projects, are leading developers of high speed data transfers over long distances, and they manage transatlantic networking in support of the LHC physics program together with CERN and ESnetorganization wi. The Caltech team ll will deploy an open source Java application, which allows stable reading and writing of data with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) at disk read/write speeds over the long distance networks. ESNET, a provider of interoperable communications infrastructure and network services to U.S. Department of Energy, is offering domestic connectivity for the demonstration. Its new network, ESnet4, was built specifically to support the requirements of large-scale science infrastructures while improving the reliability of IP connectivity. Fermilab, a national laboratory funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy, operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, is the prime host site in the U.S. for data gathered at the LHC in Geneva. The lab, host to the only CMS Tier-1 Center in the Western Hemisphere, is simulating LHC CMS Tier- to Tier-2 data movement, by sending multiple 10 Gbps streams of data to the Chicago POP in the Internet2 network, demonstrating the high bandwidth requirements and capabilities of the facility. Infineras optical systems will carry the data across the nationwide Internet2 (LaurenLevel3?) network. Infineras Digital Optical Networking systems use bandwidth virtualization to enable 40 Gbps services to travel over any optical infrastructure, including those designed for 10 Gbps services. With integrated bandwidth management and GMPLS-powered service intelligence, Infinera systems are able to provide a full range of GMPLS features including interoperability with Juniper routers. Internet2, focused largely on the investigation and implementation of the 40 gigabit per second (Gpbs) Gbps technology to support its members future bandwidth needs, is providing a the flexible, scalable network to transfer the 40 Gbppbs of data. Internet2 is using its network as a test bed to drive the development of new bandwidth services and improve general knowledge surrounding emerging technologies. Juniper Networks, the leader in high-performance networking, is supplying high-capacity platforms and routers, including the T1600 routing platform and the OC-768 interface, to meet the needs for increased bandwidth and collaboration demands during the demonstrations. Integrating seamlessly with the Internet2 network, the T1600 is the highest-density core routing platform in the industry. Infinera, a provider of Digital Optical Networking systems to telecommunications carriers, cable operators and other service providers worldwide, is contributing the digital transport networking (DTN) optical system. The system is interoperable with routers using the largest-bandwidth interfaces available. Infineras bandwidth virtualization will enable Internet2 to offer on-demand, industry-leading bandwidth capabilities. ESNET, a provider of interoperable communications infrastructure and network services to U.S. Department of Energy, is offering domestic connectivity for the demonstration. Its new network, ESnet4, was built specifically to support the requirements of large-scale science infrastructures while improving the reliability of IP connectivity. Fermilab, a national laboratory funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy, operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, is utilizing the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Tier1-Center computing and LHC storage facilities to send the 40 Gbps of data. The lab, host to the only CMS Tier-1 Center in the Western Hemisphere, is simulating LHC CMS Tier- to Tier-2 data movement, demonstrating the high bandwidth requirements and capabilities of the facility. California Institute of Technology, a leading institution of higher education, is using its resources to accept the 40Gbps of data. The organization will deploy an open source Java application, which allows stable reading and writing of data with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) at disk read/write speeds over the long distance network. Level 3 Communications, Inc., an international communications company operating one of the largest Internet backbones in the world, is offering supporting services for the research and engineering community. As an active member of the research and engineering communities, Level 3s services are highly focused on enabling the innovation associated with the demonstrations.
