Agenda for the JET Roadmap Workshop

Agenda for the JET Roadmap Workshop

(Updated April 2004)

General
Title:	NITRD Program Spring Planning Meeting
Date:	April 13 - 15, 2004
Time:	1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Location:	Jefferson Lab, Newport News, VA
Important: The meeting building at the Jefferson Lab is a restricted facility. Please see the following URL for information about the documentation you must present for access: http://www.jlab.org/intralab/calendar/archive04/jet/access.html.
For the first day please allow 1/2 hour to register. The continental breakfast is from 7:30 - 8:30 AM the first day and the registration starts at 7:30 AM.
Goals:	Develop a JET roadmap aimed at ensuring that U. S. Government and University Research and Education networking issues for the next three years are addressed. Develop a picture of where these networks will be in three years. Examine what has to be done to ensure continued interoperability if future infrastructure expands beyond IP into the optical realm. Develop strategy for integrating results of network research into the JETnets.

Agenda - Tuesday April 13
7:30 am	Continental Breakfast
8:30 am	I) Plenary: JET Networks Drivers Session Chair: George Seweryniak What are the new science applications that will require new network infrastructure, performance, functionality, reliability, security, etc. over the next 3 years? What are the applications that are stressing the existing networks? DOE Office of Science (George Seweryniak) (See "High Performance Network Planning Workshop" (http://www.es.net/#research)) Drivers and requirements for high end International Research (Harvey Newman) Panel Discussion DREN (Phil Dykstra) ESnet (Bill Johnston) Internet2 (Guy Almes) NIH (Jules Aronson) NSF (Doug Gatchell) NASA (Kevin Jones)
10:30 am	Break
11:00 am	Parallel Working Groups Track 1 and Track 2 (see agendas below)
6:00 pm	Reception: Lobby

Agenda - Tuesday April 13 - Track 1 Session Chairs: Aronson and Johnston
11:00 am	ll.1) Measurements and Performance Phil Dykstra (DREN), Kevin Thompson (NSF) and Matt Zekauskas (Internet2)
11:00 am	II.1.1) Measurement status updates and plans DREN - Phil Dykstra NASA - Joe Loiacono WAN Measurement - Les Cottrell End to End Troubleshooting - Brian Tierney Abilene - Matt Zekauskas Internet2 piPEs - Eric Boyd end-to-end measurement workshop report - Matt Zekauskas
12:30 pm	Lunch
1:15 pm	II.1.2) Measurement Discussion both near-term and long term Note all discussion topics may be presented in the context of several important areas: diagnostics/troubleshooting, security, performance/sla, sub-IP and optical layer. Measurement coordination and data sharing among Jetnets What requirements do we have for interdomain measurement and performance visibility? Given current capabilities of each jetnet, can we prioritize and set goals on what measurement data and services to make available, and in what forms? Is Ipv6 really that important, and how accurately can/do we measure Ipv6 traffic and performance today? How do you measure 10 Gbps and beyond links? Issues in authN and authZ Multicast
2:30 pm	Break
2:45 pm	What new capabilities do we anticipate leveraging? How will we measure in the optical domain? Are current standard technologies and protocols, such as SNMP, necessary and sufficient for the longer term? If not, what needs to be replaced or enhanced?
4:15 pm	Break
4:30 pm	II.1.3) Experimental Transport Protocols To TCP or not to TCP (Matt Mathis) Overview of new TCPish protocols (Matt Zekauskas) Overview of new UDP-based protocols (Phil Dykstra) Open Discussion What issues, if any, exist for integrating new transport protocols into existing networks (e.g. XCP) Do Jetnets have a role in leading deployment of new transport protocols, and if so, to what extent? What special considerations exist for a 3-year time horizon, e.g. facilitating "circuit-like" end-to-end services
