This proposal is for creation of a distributed storage network testbed. The goal is to improve the performance of network based storage by deploying "logistical networking" facilities as uniform network services. Although such services as caches and buffers are familiar in networked information systems, but they are not explicitly modeled in the standard protocol stack and middleware of the Internet. The special case investigated here is replication of services which uses the Internet2 Distributed Storage Infrastructure as its experimental facility. To explore the more general case the Internet Backplane Protocol (IBP), developed by the PIs, is used for co-scheduling networking and storage resources. The plan is to develop and deploy basic functionality to the point where it is scalable and manageable to support a real application community. Prototype applications of IBP in early development include middleware for state management in Computational Grids, IBP-MIME to enable movement of very large files via email, and IBP memory servers for distributed sensory data.

本方案用于创建分布式存储网络测试平台。目标是通过将“物流网络”设施部署为统一的网络服务来提高基于网络的存储的性能。尽管像缓存和缓冲区这样的服务在网络信息系统中很常见，但它们并没有在Internet的标准协议栈和中间件中显式地建模。这里研究的特殊案例是使用Internet2分布式存储基础设施作为实验设施的服务复制。为了探索更一般的情况，由pi开发的Internet Backplane Protocol （IBP）用于协同调度网络和存储资源。计划是开发和部署基本功能，使其可伸缩和可管理，以支持真正的应用程序社区。IBP早期开发的原型应用程序包括用于计算网格中状态管理的中间件、支持通过电子邮件移动超大文件的IBP- mime，以及用于分布式感知数据的IBP内存服务器。
