QUILT CIRCLE2020 a Letter from the President
THE QUILT CIRCLE2020 A Letter From the President This 2020 Quilt Circle edition commemorates the 20th Anniversary of The Quilt. The fabric of our research and education (R&E) networking community has never been stronger. While our Quilt community has evolved in new and exciting ways in the past two decades, we have also been faced with a number of challenges which we take head-on and always with the spirit of collaboration. As we address the unprecedented challenges presented by the current global public health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the work of our members is more important than ever to the missions of their member communities. U.S. higher education institutions rely on R&E networks to give them a competitive edge in the most impactful scientific research initiatives which is essential in this crisis. We connect the educational institutions that support university medical centers and their associated hospitals. R&E networks also connect tens of thousands of other community anchor institutions, including K-12 schools, public libraries, local/state government, research sites, cultural institutions, public safety, and tribal lands. Being responsive and providing vital networking infrastructure and resources right now to address immediate needs is who we are and what we do. R&E networks are part of our nation’s critical infrastructure. This year’s edition of The Quilt Circle showcases several examples of the key role of R&E network members in both providing and facilitating the use-network infrastructure to further scientific discovery and collaborations at higher education institutions of all sizes. -

With Fewer Than 50 Days to Go Before the Super
With fewer than 50 days to go before the Super Computing 2004 conference, high-energy physics researchers at the University of Sao Paulo recognized the opportunity to showcase their active involvement in the global computational Grid. They asked the CIARA (Center for Internet Augmented Research and Assessment) team at FIU, and the ANSP (Academic Network of Sao Paulo) team to leverage their expertise, along with AMPATH to create a 2.5 Gigabit per second (Gbps) connection for research from the conference center floor in Pittsburgh, to the computational clusters in Brazil. To do this, a team was formed of Telecom Italia Sparkle's Latin American Nautilus, providing the submarine cable capacity; Cisco Systems, providing critical components for the end-to-end connection; Terremark, providing space and support in their Network Access Points (NAPs) in both MIami and Sao Paulo; FPL Fibernet, providing crucial links in Miami; and Qwest Communications and Internet2's Abilene network, providing high-performance connectivity from Miami to Pittsburgh. The result of this collaboration was a contribution to the winning team of the 2004 bandwidth challenge, allowing them to exceed their goal of 100Gbps. The new link between Miami and Sao Paulo set a new speed record for U.S. to Brazilian research networking at a sustained 1.66Gbps, with bursts up to 2Gbps. This new link increases 45 times the bandwidth capacity between the US and Brazil. This is a first step in bringing research connectivity in the Gigabit range for U.S. to Latin American research efforts. -
Anatomy of an International Exchange Point: Distributed Network Monitoring Using Monalisa and Netflow1
Anatomy of an International Exchange Point: Distributed Network Monitoring Using MonALISA and NetFlow1 Ernesto Rubi, Xun Su, Iosif Legrand, Heidi Alvarez, Julio Ibarra2 Abstract: In this paper we present a distributed network monitoring system, which exploits MonALISA (Monitoring Agents in A Large Integrated Services Architecture), a distributed web service delivery infrastructure designed to collect and process the network monitoring information. We augment the capability of MonALISA with FlowTools, the popular NetFlow data analysis toolset. We demonstrate how to integrate MonALISA and Flowtools via an UDP-listening agent ApMon, and highlight a case study of AMPATH, an international exchanging point located in Miami and serving a number of South American National Reseach and Education Networks (NRENs). Our experience showcases the elegant design philosophy of a scalable distributed service deployment platform coupled with the open-source traffic analysis tools and its impact on the daily operation of the production networks. Keywords: NetFlow, MonALISA, Flowtools, Network monitoring. 1. Introduction As the Internet expands both in its scope, reach and capacity, it becomes evident that there is a strong need to develop a distributed network monitoring infrastructure that can be scaled to support various network topology, traffic granularity and user applications. NetFlow[1] is a widely deployed router-based traffic monitoring mechanism. FlowTools[2] is a open-source NetFlow analysis toolset underlying the data gathering and analysis infrastructure of our project. It is our main motivation to effectively use NetFlow to gain crucial understanding of the traffic characteristics of the networks we operate. In particular, we are interested in understanding how to exploit the key advantages and avoid drawbacks of NetFlow-based traffic analysis by augmenting it with a distributed service-deployment platform. -

Susan Hicks, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Vyto Grigaliunas, Network Analyst, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) Abstract The importance of the Internet to modern High Energy Physics collaborators is clearly immense, and understanding how new developments in network technology impact net- works is critical to the future design of experiments. The next generation Internet Protocol (IPv6) is being deployed on testbeds and pro- duction networks throughout the world. The protocol has been designed to solve todays internet problems, and many of the features will be core Internet services in the future. In this talk the features of the protocol will be described. Details will be given on the deployment at sites important to High Energy Physics Research and the network services operating at these sites. In particular IPv6 deployment on the U.S. Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) will be reviewed. The connectivity and performance between High Energy Physics Laboratories, Universities and Institutes will be discussed. Keywords: Network, Technology, Internet, Protocol, IP, IPv6 1 Introduction High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP) experiments around the world generate huge amounts of data, much of which is transferred across networks to collaborators for analysis. Network technology has become critical to the success of experiments. The requirements of HENP researchers often means the networks they use become early implementors of new network technology. In this paper the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP) is reviewed. -

Description of Omnipop for Proposals
Description of OmniPoP for Proposals Summary The OmniPoP is a collaborative effort between 12 of the member universities of the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Together, these institutions have pooled their efforts to create a high performance shared infrastructure based in the Chicago area. This infrastructure was designed to complement and augment the shared fiber infrastructure that the Big Ten Academic Alliance members had previously purchased. The OmniPoP operates a high capacity switching infrastructure that supports 10 gigabit and 100 gigabit connections to its member institutions and equivalent high capacity links to national research and education networks such as Internet2, ESnet, and Starlight. This allows OmniPoP connections to be leveraged to provide services to large data flows in support of multi-institutional cooperative research efforts. Efforts supported today include interconnections between the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Tier 2 efforts at the member institutions and the Midwest Openflow Crossroads Initiative (MOXI) project which links several midwest regional networks to the GENI backbone. OmniPoP Infrastructure and Peerings The Omnipop infrastructure consists of a redundant pair of 100 gigabit capable switches. These switches operate from geographically diverse co-location facilities within the Chicago metropolitan areas. These facilities also serve as Points of Presence (PoPs) for other major networks such as Internet2, ESnet (Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network), and Starlight (the international peering exchange), enabling seamless cross connections to the major national and international research and education networks that support much of the academic research community. An additional benefit to these facilities is that they offer the opportunity for Big Ten Academic Alliance members to co-locate additional network related equipment in support of their own projects independent of the OmniPoP core infrastructure.
