Networking, Storage and Computing Testbed for the Future Internet

Satisfying Global Triple-Any: Anything Anytime for Anyone Yoram Ofek Department of Information and Communication Technology University of Trento Italy

IST 2006, Helsinki, 21-23 November, 2006

Motivations


Two Internet transitions:

 1.  2.


From business to home



The capacity per home will equal to campus capacity

From broadcast to (all) on-demand:

Triple-any: anyone/anything/anytime  Global scale: from anywhere to anywhere



Thus, it is envisioned that >90% of IP traffic will be to home (mobile) users

 Consequently,

who will pay is a primary issue

Background
 Internal
 Motivated


by the external Internet activities the Provincia Autonoma di Trento PAT:

Deploying 800 km of optical infrastructure


For providing wide variety of services

to all residence of PAT

 It

is the intension of PAT that the Univ. of Trento will construct optical networking testbed along the 800 km fiber infrastructure


Focusing on the two Internet transitions

1. From business to home  2. From broadcast to on-demand

Optical Testbed Motivations

 Framework  Anyone:


for global triple-any

 Anyone/anything/anytime

All ages and technical skills wherever they are All content with any formats and any player

 Anything:


 Anytime:


ON-DEMAND

E.g., peer-to-peer, client-server,

Satisfying Users On-demand Service Requests for Everything, Everywhere, and at all Times

OnOn-demand & High Quality

Challenges
 1.

Cisco CRS-1 [carrier routing system]:

Was announced as 92 Tb/s is actually only:


92/(2*72) 0.64 Tb/s per chassis

Factor of 2 improvement in 5 years/$500 millions

2.

The Internet is doubling: 18-month




OnOn-demand (e.g., peer-to-peer)/ HD-TV / 3D /

Perhaps 10 folds in 5 yrs / 100 folds in 10 yrs

on single switching matrix is needed

Sub-lambda switching with scalability to 10-100 Tb/s

Challenges (Cont.)
 Who

will pay?
>90% of IP traffic is to home users

 When

 Given

that service providers will not lose money again :

 This


may require major changes to:

IP network design lower complexity/cost  Services lower cost and easy to use  Applications  Business models

Technologies
 Focus


on services on the end-user at home to the metro edges

Mobile and wireless are not the focus

Sub-lambda ROADMs Optical burst and packet switching Time driven switching Multi-terabit IP routing and switching

 Multi-terabit

 Very

high capacity to the home

Fiber-to-the-home: e.g., EPON, GE Twisted-pair-to-the-home: e.g., VDSL2

Services
 Metro

services

Global IPTV/HDTV flooding: anywhere at anytime Triple-play services to the home Virtual reality services: gaming, meeting, conferencing, Grid flooding applications

 Content

distribution on-demand to anyone, anything at anytime

Content protection Storage location Capability matching with computation and trans-coding Scalable content delivery that matches end-user capability

 Client

operation complexity
11

Matching the end-user software with content request

Summary
 Testbed

motivations: Internet flooding with (home) users on-demand requests:

 Framework

for global triple-any  Anyone/anything/anytime

 Opportunities


for new technological solutions and new services

Real testing over 800 km optical network  Potential spin-offs and joint ventures

 On-going

testbed activities
