“…SYNOPTIC leverages our prior work in Quanta [28] (a cross-platform networking toolkit for supporting the diverse networking requirements of latency-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive applications), and related work in composable protocols [29]. Quanta provides a rich set of features, such as reliable transmission, unreliable transmission, forward error correction, streaming transfer, and reliable bulkdata transfers that are built on top of existing TCP and UDP transport protocols.…”

Abstract-LambdaGrid applications as typified by data-intensive collaborative visualization are likely to be the first users of terabit-level networking. This paper features a main enabler of collaborative visualization over LambdaGrid, the Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) in particular, and anticipates the future needs of LambdaGrid applications in general. We present a scalable architecture called LambdaBridge to 'bridge' LambdaGrid applications with the terabit optical core networks. LambdaBridge will provision and control predictableperformance networks for end-systems (i.e. Grid clusters) using on-demand lambda/VLAN provisioning and end-system traffic shaping. The chief contribution of LambdaBridge is a deep understanding of how to synergistically bridge provisionable networks, end-systems, and future generation distributed terabit applications. This paper also introduces Scalable Visualcastinga multicasting service for LambdaGrid that incorporates IP multicasting and optical multicasting.

Scheduling resources on Grids is a well-known problem. The extension of Grids to LambdaGrids requires the scheduling of lambdas, i.e., end-to-end high-speed circuits. In this paper, we propose a scheduling heuristic for such lambdas in support of large-scale scientific applications that require high-throughput transfers of large files. We refer to this heuristic as "Varying-Bandwidth List Scheduling" (VBLS) because the scheduler returns a Time-Range-Capacity (TRC) allocation vector with varying bandwidth levels assigned for different time ranges within the duration of a transfer. The advantage of VBLS over a fixed-bandwidth allocation scheme is that it allows the scheduler to backfill any holes left in resource allocations.Enabling VBLS requires end host applications to specify the file size in their transfer requests. To characterize VBLS, we ran simulation experiments that show that VBLS performance approaches packet-switching performance. This result means that file transfers can take advantage of bandwidth that becomes available subsequent to the start of transfers, a current and critical drawback of typical fixed-bandwidth allocation schemes in circuit-switched networks. Next, we identify the key features needed in a transport protocol that works in conjunction with VBLS and develop the "Varying Bandwidth Transport Protocol" (VBTP). VBTP is a rate based flow control scheme that is coupled with Selective-ARQ based error control. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion on the impact of transport problems on VBLS scheduling.
