Description
The ESLEA (Exploitation of Switched Lightpaths for E-science Applications) project
has been working to put switched optical lightpath technology to the service of key
large scientific projects. Central to the activity is the provision of services to
ATLAS experiment. The project is facing the practical problems of finding the best
way of interfacing the power (but also the restrictions) of the technology to the
ATLAS production and analysis service. The work has been using the UKLight
lightpath infrastructure and the international links from UKLight via Netherlight
to CERN. The focus is not only on the Tier-0 to Tier-1 raffice but also the
considerable traffice between the Tier-1 and Tier-2 sites, and is moving to address
the issues of a distributed Tier-2.
Summary
Optical lightpath technologies are being interfaced to the needs of ATLAS as part
of the ESLEA project.
