About Future Internet

• The current Internet has many limitations, which prevent its continuous future development

• Overcoming limitations of today’s Internet requires changing this architecture through the design called Future Internet (FI)

• Research FI consists of:– Discuss how the new architecture will be developed for the

Internet;– Evaluate alternative proposals for this new architecture;– Develop procedures to adopt the new architecture.

3

About Future Internet

• Providing environments for large scale experimentation requires:

• Coexistence with the network traffic of production;

• Environment should be flexible and programmable (software defined network) so that researchers can quickly define and validate their proposals

4

FIBRE Objectives

Create a common space between EU and Brazil for

Future Internet (FI) experimental research into

network infrastructure and distributed applications,

by building and operating a federated EU-Brazil Future

internet experimental facility

The project will design, implement and validate a shared Future Internet research facility between Brazil and Europe, supporting the joint Future

Internet experimentation of European and Brazilian researchers.

The physical interconnection of Brazilian and European islands is deployed through two point-to-point circuits (a.k.a. lightpaths) linking FIBRE´s Brazilian gateway at the University of Sao Paulo (USP, Brazil) to i2CAT (Spain) and University of Bristol (UK), spanning multiple network domains.

Control Frameworks

19

OFELIA Control Framework (OCF) was originally created in the context of the OFELIA testbed project [www.fp7-ofelia.eu] but today it is supported by a larger community where FIBRE and GEANT are present. OCF is synchronized with other initiatives in USA (GENI) and follows an SFA-oriented architecture (Slice-based Facility Architecture).

OMF is a framework with the focus on controlling and managing network devices. It was developed based on XMPP in the Ruby language. The OMF suite also provides OML (OMF Monitoring Library), which allows instrumentation of applications for collecting measurements.

ProtoGENI is a control and monitoring based on an enhanced version of the Emulab management software. The Emulab testbed is used to perform experimental research on distributed systems. ProtoGENI was created to provide the integration between Emulab and other testbeds in order to build the Cluster C facility of GENI.

• Design of network connections for integrating the islands to one another, through Ipê Backbone, GIGA network, Kyatera network and campus networks.

• FIBRE Network

– Network to interconnect experimental facility.

– Independent and autonomous for managing.

– Configured and managed by the NOC FIBRE.

– Hybrid Equipment with OpenFlow enabled.

Testbed connectivity

Phase 0 - interconnected through a VPN service running at the NOC

Testbed connectivity – next step

• Phase 1 requirements– Level 2 overlay network on top of RNP production network– Data and Control plan separated– Offers a fast and secure way to build experiments at various

levels of network and media (wired or wireless). • FIBRENet – SDN Network

– SDN based • Programmability• Virtualization• Data and control plan separated

– Composed by OF SW at PoP and at each island.

• Two overlay networks:• Data Plane

– Overlay network point-to-point– Static VLANs

• Control Plane– Multipoint-multipoint– VPLS

Federation

• FIBRE was born federated• MySlice – SFA based

– Federate all FIBRE aggregate managers• Authentication using CAFe (Shib federation) or

LDAP• Authorization

– Access rules are in definition• PI role to authorize slice and account creation

Authentication in FIBRE

Authentication through LDAP A global directory at NOC synchronized with a local directory

at each island Same schema in all island User could authenticate to use OMF, OCF, ZenOSS, access

VPN through LDAP NOC LDAP contains a copy of each island LDAP User are created at each island – NOC doesn`t support this

function RNP is the catch all island to user “ islandless”

30

Operations

• NOC in Brazil – Using PerfSonar and ZenOSS – Monitoring all AM and the components of

Federation– Ticket system– Local administrators– Distributed operation

Final Considerations

39

Conclusions

• The FIBRE project has been immensely useful for both sides (BR and EU)– For the European partners, extensions have been made to

the results developed in the OFELIA and OpenLab projects, especially in technology for federating (integrating) diverse testbeds.

– For the Brazilian partners, the collaboration with experienced European exponents of activities in FI testbeds has speeded the learning process, required to stand on our own feet.

– Both sides are now collaborating in global federation of testbeds, istigated by the GENI project in the US.

40

Benefits

• FIBRE is a showcase project in international collaboration in Future Internet– Demonstrate local capacity to collaborate with leading

European projects in this important area– Provide local experimental facilities for validating and

demonstrating new FI proposals– Provide opportunity for extension to and participation by

researchers from other Latin American countries– Promote involvement of and technology transfer to the

industrial sector, to prepare for Future Internet needs, especially involving OpenFlow and SDN approaches.

• Results of project – An federated infrastructure for experimentation connecting 10 institution in

Brazil plus 3 in Europe

• Next steps– operated, managed, financed, disseminated, polices– Federate with others testbed– Hum! It seems very similar with NRENs doing to provide services to users

• Why NRENs?– Academic network traditionally provides connectivity services to research,

students, teachers, staff – Network researchers has the network itself as their research object– NRENs should add in its portfolio a service to allow network scientists to

research the network itself.• Testbed as a Service!
