Description
High Energy Physics collaborations consist of hundreds to thousands of physicists
and are world-wide in scope. Experiments and applications now running, or starting
soon, need the data movement capabilities now available only on advanced and/or
experimental networks. The Lambda Station project steers selectable traffic through
site infrastructure and onto these "high-impact" wide-area networks. Lambda Station
also controls ingress and egress filters between the site and the high-impact
network and takes responsibility for negotiating with reservation or provisioning
systems that regulate the WAN control plane, be it based on SONET channels, demand
tunnels, or dynamic optical links. This article will discuss design principles, the
current status of the project, the results achieved up to date, and challenges
surmounted building Lambda Station aware applications via DOE's UltraScience Net and
ESnet networks and ULtraLight between Fermilab, Caltech, and other sites.
