CC* NPEO: Toward the National Research Platform

学术研究人员需要一个简单的数据共享架构，具有端到端10到100 Gbps的性能，以实现大量数据与计算的虚拟协同定位。端到端通常是一个难以解决的问题，因为端之间的网络（校园、数据存储库等）通常穿越多个网络管理域：校园、地区和国家。 没有一个组织有责任为科学家提供高带宽的磁盘到磁盘性能。国家研究平台（TNRP）解决了扩展端到端数据共享的关键问题。TNRP将为一个大型的异构“国家-地区-国家”网络（NRSN）联盟提供工具，以大大提高全国范围内的端到端网络性能。提高全国范围内的端到端网络性能的目标需要这些分布式中间级实体的积极参与，以达到他们的校园。他们是其成员机构值得信赖的召集人，有效地促进了“人员网络”，这对于发展一个完整的国家研究平台以及技术的稳定性，部署和性能是必要的。TNRP的合作NRSNs结构导致参与NRSNs和开放科学网格确定的大量科学应用程序的参与。TNRP是直接测量性能的高度工具。通过被动和主动网络监视对磁盘到磁盘性能进行可视化，显示NSRN内部和NSRN之间的端到端性能。互联网2，互联区域网络的关键，将提供一个仪表专用的虚拟网络的TNRP的NRSN的互联实例。网络安全是一个持续关注的问题;对先进的容器化编排、硬件加密引擎和新型IPv6策略的评估是TNRP计划的一部分。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估而被认为值得支持优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。

Academic researchers need a simple data sharing architecture with end-to-end 10-to-100Gbps performance to enable virtual co-location of large amounts of data with computing. End-to-end is a difficult problem to solve in general because the networks between ends (campuses, data repositories, etc.) typically traverse multiple network management domains: campus, regional, and national. No one organization owns the responsibility for providing scientists with high-bandwidth disk-to-disk performance. Toward the National Research Platform (TNRP), addresses issues critical to scaling end-to-end data sharing. TNRP will instrument a large federation of heterogeneous "national-regional-state" networks (NRSNs) to greatly improve end-to-end network performance across the nation. The goal of improving end-to-end network performance across the nation requires active participation of these distributed intermediate-level entities to reach out to their campuses. They are trusted conveners of their member institutions, contributing effectively to the "people networking" that is as necessary to the development of a full National Research Platform as is the stability, deployment, and performance of technology. TNRP's collaborating NRSNs structure leads to engagement of a large set of science applications, identified by the participating NRSNs and the Open Science Grid. TNRP is highly instrumented to directly measure performance. Visualizations of disk-to-disk performance with passive and active network monitoring show intra- and inter-NSRN end-to-end performance. Internet2, critical for interconnecting regional networks, will provide an instrumented dedicated virtual network instance for the interconnection of TNRP's NRSNs. Cybersecurity is a continuing concern; evaluations of advanced containerized orchestration, hardware crypto engines, and novel IPv6 strategies are part of the TNRP plan.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
