The workshop provides an overview of GMPLS architecture, RSVP and OSPF protocols, control plane design concepts, and specifics of dynamic circuit network engineering as relates to campus, regional, and national network facilities in the R&E community. Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be better prepared to design and deploy a dynamic network.
Target Audience/Prerequisites
This workshop is oriented toward network operators, researchers, and developers who are interested in designing, deploying, and running a dynamic network in either a campus, regional, and national network environment. In this workshop, attendees design, deploy, and use a multi-domain GMPLS and webservice-based network/control plane network consisting of four domains, each with a number of network elements, end systems, and servers. The material is not difficult, but it does include some routing and provisioning technologies that are not widely deployed by the network engineering community and are still undergoing evolution even as we begin deploying them. Several prerequisite skills are recommended to allow us to effectively work through as much material as possible in the 2-day workshop. The attendees will design, deploy, and test a Layer 2 (Ethernet) Dynamic DCN Testbed using DRAGON and OSCARS software (as provided in the DCN Software Suite release). At the workshop, participants will have necessary hardware and software to construct a working network that allows end systems to allocate dedicated VLAN network resources across multiple administrative domains. The first day will focus on basic concepts as well as control plane design and implementation topics. The second day will address inter-domain dynamic circuit provisioning, along with a review of requirements for access to, and use of, the Internet2 DCN and peering with other dynamic networks.
