This purpose of the proposal is to create dynamic, deterministic, and manageable end-to-end network transport services for high-end e-Science applications. This service capability will build on the success and reach of the IP infrastructure, and will complement it with deterministic end-to-end multi-protocol services spanning multiple administrative domains and a variety of conventional campus network technologies. The project will create a Generalized MultiProtocol Label Switching (GMPLS) capable optical core network. Optical transport and switching equipment acting as Label Switching Routers (LSRs) will provide deterministic network resources at the packet, wavelength, and fiber cross connect levels. The all-optical capabilities proposed for this core network will be based on connection and resource management mechanisms defined in GMPLS and will model many of the functions of an inter-regional, national, or even global wavelength based Research and Education (R&E) networks. Attached to the core infrastructure will be experimental campus networks carved out from collaborating institutional campus infrastructure. Network requirements will be driven by tight integration with application team members. An important part of the project will be the development of the necessary software components to address unresolved GMPLS-related issues as well as a host of practical end-to-end issues. The architecture describes a Network Aware Resource Broker (NARB) that will peer with Interior Gateway Protocol/Exterior Gateway Protocol (IGP/EGP) routing protocols to advertise inter-domain service capabilities, perform inter-domain path computation, resource allocation, scheduling, provisioning, proxy signaling services, and authorization/accounting for the requested network services. The architecture of the NARB function will integrate emerging advanced services from the NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI) program and Grid services, particularly for security and advanced scheduling. The project includes collaboration with specific e-Science applications support facilities that will be adapted to and directly benefit from the experimental infrastructure. The electronic-Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI) project from MIT Haystack Observatory will utilize the experimental network to acquire and correlate radio-telescope data in real time as a pilot to demonstrate effective coordination of multiple remote instruments. USC/ISI East, University of Maryland Visualization and Presentation Lab, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center will collaborate to use the resources as part of ongoing efforts to integrate streaming HDTV, Access Grid Nodes, and interactive remote 3D visualizations. The intellectual merit of this project includes greatly expanding the knowledge and technologies relating to intelligent management of dynamic optical transport networks. This will be necessary in order for the larger R&E community to realize maximum benefits from its current efforts to procure a national footprint of lambda and fiber resources. Broader impacts will be realized via the participation of regional universities that will directly enhance the research and education infrastructure and provide educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students as well as involve women and underrepresented minorities as interns in the activities.

该提案的这一目的是为高端电子科学应用程序创建动态，确定性和可管理的端到端网络运输服务。此服务能力将基于IP基础架构的成功和覆盖范围，并将与确定性的端到端多重协议服务进行补充，这些服务涵盖了多个管理领域和各种常规的校园网络技术。该项目将创建一个具有通用的多协议标签开关（GMPLS）功能的光核网络。充当标签切换路由器（LSR）的光传输和开关设备将在数据包，波长和光纤交叉连接级别提供确定性网络资源。该核心网络提出的全光功能将基于GMPLS中定义的连接和资源管理机制，并将建模区域间，国家甚至基于全球波长的研究和教育（R＆E）网络的许多功能。 附属于核心基础设施的将是从合作的机构校园基础设施中得出的实验性校园网络。网络要求将由与应用程序团队成员的紧密集成来驱动。该项目的重要部分是开发必要的软件组件，以解决未解决的GMPLS相关问题以及许多实用的端到端问题。该体系结构描述了一个网络意识资源经纪（NARB），该网络将与内部网关协议/外部网关协议（IGP/EGP）路由协议相关联，以宣传域间服务能力，执行域路径计算，资源间计算，资源分配，调度，调度，调度，配置，配置，PROXY信号服务以及请求网络的授权/授权网络服务。 NARB功能的体系结构将整合NSF中间件计划（NMI）计划和电网服务的新兴服务，尤其是用于安全和高级计划。该项目包括与特定的电子科学应用程序支持设施的合作，这些设施将适应并直接从实验基础架构中受益。 来自MIT Haystack天文台的电子 - 非常长的基线干涉法（E-VLBI）项目将利用实验网络实时获取和相关联，以实时获取和关联无线电检测数据，以证明多种远程仪器的有效协调。 USC/ISI EAST，马里兰大学可视化和演示实验室，NASA Goddard太空飞行中心将合作利用资源作为持续努力的一部分，以集成流媒体HDTV，访问网格节点以及交互式远程3D可视化。 该项目的智力优点包括大大扩展了与动态光传输网络智能管理有关的知识和技术。为了使较大的R＆E社区能够从目前的努力获得Lambda和纤维资源的全国足迹中获得最大收益，这是必要的。 将通过区域大学的参与来实现更广泛的影响，这些大学将直接增强研究和教育基础设施，并为本科生和研究生提供教育机会，并让妇女和代表性不足的少数群体作为活动中的实习生。
