TERENA Technical Programme Update TERENA General Assembly Meeting Lyngby, Denmark 24 May 2007 Claudio Allocchio TERENA VP Technical Programme Slide 2 Outline Discussion and advice from TERENA Technical Advisory Council meeting NREN s interest in lower-layer research Pan-European videoconferencing service Participation in FP7 project proposals Challenges for the TERENA Technical Programme Slide 3 TAC: NREN s interest in lower-layer research Presentations to inject discussion topics and perspectives from various point of view of the networking world (NRENs, RRENs, Labs): Steve Williams Maria Isabel Gandia Carriedo Walid Dabbous Victor Reijs Many activities started/starting; Many possible local solutions Slide 4 A stolen slide (with permission) -really low layers -> optical packets -control of lower layers (2) networks (no IP) -control of networks (3) (including IP) -policy, economical issues -evolution of a "testbed" (really hard) -monitoring is fundamental -flood of fp7 EC project, most not from NREN (which is now a minority, although fundamental) -coordination (Information Exchange) is missing, importance of timescale -Creating a network is easy especially at the optical layers -Management model (user role) for the NGN is unclear -Risks: fundamental is interdomain and ensuring all these networks/research intercommunicate to have a single Internet (this is the real added value the NRENs are capable of doing/explaining) and at the minimum cost (by M. Campanella - GARR) Slide 5 TAC: NREN s interest in lower-layer research A general request for having a neutral and open information exchange place where results and discussion are facilitated Too early for entering in the area of working together on a few common projects ? Start with workshop organisation and e-support (mailing list?) Not ready for a TF-like before one year Slide 6 TAC: Pan-European videoconferencing service Again presentations on videoconferencing services currently deployed at national/local level Andras Kovacs And on Enhanced Communication Services (ECS) Fabio Vena Eric Dobblestein Slide 7 TAC: videoconferencing service Option1: Centralised H/W (MCU) with booking portal Support Deployment Coordination Option2 Support Deployment Coordination Option3 No Service Slide 8 TAC: videoconferencing service Option1: Centralised H/W (MCU) with booking portal Support Deployment Coordination Option2 Support Deployment Coordination Option3 No Service Slide 9 TAC: ECS Challenges Integrate different technologies Generation gap? Older users use legacy telephones in the middle use of legacy VC and some Younger users with Skype, IM, Second Life Slide 10 TAC: ECS Challenges We shall support ALL of them, making ALL of them communicate to each other Who is ready to start integration (e.g. ECS-like) systems? SIP, ENUM, regulatory issues, Slide 11 FP7 Project Proposals: FEDERICA FP7 Call: INFRA : Deployment of e-Infrastructures for scientific communities Duration: 30 months Coordinator: GARR / 10 participating NREN TERENA lead User Support, Dissemination and Research on Novel Paradigms and User Control Project budget/funding: 4,626,244/ 3,932,208 TERENA budget/funding: 285,501/ 258,878 Slide 12 FP7 Project Proposals: FEDERICA Objective: support research experiments and projects on new Internet architectures and protocols [..] create a versatile, scalable, European wide and technology agnostic network infrastructure, open to disruptive experiments, in parallel, but independent from production networks. [..] exploiting the existing NREN and GEANT2 networks services Slide 13 FP7 Project Proposals: Visualive FP7 Call: INFRA : Deployment of e-Infrastructures for scientific communities Duration: 30 Months Coordinator i2Cat Foundation/ 2 participating NRENs TERENA role: extend and support the PEACHES community, organise training and dissemination events Project budget/funding: 7,452,410/ 6,494,687 TERENA budget/funding: 248,318/ 161,279 Slide 14 FP7 Project Proposals: Visualive Objective: deploy an advanced networked audio-visual, visualization, and videoconferencing eInfrastructure, over existing NREN-GEANT2 networks, supporting and promoting the activities of the scientific and creative communities in Europe Slide 15 FP7 Project Proposals: MOME-2 FP7 Call: ICT : Network of the Future Duration: 24 Months Coordinator: Salzburg Research / 1 participating NREN TERENA role: Host and maintain Database facilities Project budget/funding: 1,114,943/ 778,162 TERENA budget/funding: 101,305/ 67,892 Slide 16 FP7 Project Proposals: MOME-2 Objective: make the MOME database the most complete, referenced and user- friendly data repository for searching and assessing monitoring and measurement data across the Internet [..] continue the activities of the MOME cluster project, enhance the MOME database. Slide 17 FP7 Project Proposals: CADIR FP7 Call: ICT Secure, dependable and trusted Infrastructures Duration: 60 Months Coordinator: Theodore Puskas Foundation + 10 participants TERENA role: Best Practice/Training Project budget/funding: 8,016,215/ 5,909,770 TERENA budget/funding: 379,334/ 287,001 Slide 18 FP7 Project Proposals: CADIR Objective: develop a framework for security focused entities to work together effectively [..] improve coordination and cooperation tasks, on all levels, foundation, governance, processes, tools and across all boundaries[..] to respond to attacks and incidents as well as handle new vulnerabilities in cross-organisational and/or cross-border scenarios.
