HIGH SPEED NETWORKING WORKSHOP: THE TERABITS CHALLENGE
Sponsored By: IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking, US Department of Energy
In Conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006 Barcelona, Spain, April 24, 2006
Website: http://www.ece.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent advances in ultra high-speed and high-performance networks. With the continued technological advances, these new generation networks are expected to deliver unprecedented bandwidths, ranging from terabits/sec in the core to multiple gigabits/sec to the edge. This workshop will focus on various aspects of ultra high-speed network infrastructures including their role in enabling distributed large-scale science applications. In particular, the e-science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps now, and will require sustained terabits/sec throughputs by the end of decade. Furthermore, the need for ultra high-speed networks is also emerging in a wide spectrum of application domains as diverse as entertainment, energy, banking, defense and medicine. In the past, there have been several attempts to address the bandwidth-intensive applications by deploying larger capacities in the core networks. However, experience indicates that simply scaling the core capacity does not necessarily result in a commensurate increase in end-to-end application throughputs. Indeed, the ability of existing network technologies, especially transport protocols, routing, traffic engineering and network provisioning to scale to the terabits/sec range remains a challenge. It is here that the emerging ultra high-speed networking technologies offer great opportunities along with unprecedented challenges. A key goal of this workshop is to explore approaches for meeting these challenges, particularly within the context of broader e-science applications.
These topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
Group A: Ultra High-Speed Networks Innovative and agile terabits network architectures End-to-end performance issues Host systems issues including bus and OS Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching Ultra high-speed transport protocols Ultra high-speed cyber security systems Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) High-performance network middleware Experimental deployment of high-capacity optical networks Traffic engineering for ultra high-speed networks Free-space high-capacity optical networks
Group B: Ultra High-Speed Applications Prototyping high-end applications for ultra high-speed environments Data transfers over long distances High-speed I/O and storage systems Remote visualizations and tele-instrumentations Distributed access to supercomputing facilities Remote computational monitoring and steering
SESSIONS ======== Presentations are planned to be grouped into the following topical sessions: Ultra high-speed transport protocols Terabits network provisioning Ultra high-speed traffic engineering/resource management Control and management planes Distributed high-end e-science applications Applications requiring terabit networks Cyber-security aspects of terabit networks
