WLCG relies on the network as a critical part of its infrastructure and therefore needs to guarantee effective network usage and prompt detection and resolution of any network issues, including connection failures, congestion and traffic outing. The OSG Networking Area is a partner of the WLCG effort and is focused on being the primary source of networking information for its partners and...

The TransPAC project has a long history of supporting R&E networking, connecting the Asia Pacific region to the United States to facilitate research. This talk will give an overview of the project for those who may not be familiar with it or its activities and a brief sketch of future plans. Then the talk will cover LHCONE connectivity from our perspective and lay out options for how TransPAC...

The Automated GOLE (AutoGOLE) fabric enables research and education networks worldwide to automate their inter-domain service provisioning. By using the AutoGOLE control plane infrastructure, services to other countries can be setup in minutes. Besides automated provisioning we experiment with connecting high-speed Data Transfer Nodes (DTNs) to the AutoGOLE environment. This talk will discuss...

Modern science is increasingly data-driven and collaborative in nature, producing petabytes of data that can be shared by tens to thousands of scientists all over the world. NetSage is a project to develop a unified open, privacy-aware network measurement, and visualization service to better understand network usage in support of these large scale applications. New capabilities to measure and...

As the WLCG data sets grow ever bigger, so will network usage. For those of us with limited budgets, it would be nice if network costs won't get ever bigger too.
As NDGF is one of the few tier-1 sites in WLCG required to pay full networking costs, including transit, we'll look at the cost breakdown of networking for a tier-1 site and talk about where optimizations might be found.

High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments have greatly benefited from a strong relationship with Research and Education Network (REN) providers and thanks to the projects such as LHCOPN/LHCONE and REN contributions, have enjoyed significant capacities and high performance networks for some time. RENs have been able to continually expand their capacities to over-provision the networks relative to...

Last year, KEK had upgraded the upstream link to 100Gbps in Apr.
then officially started the peer with LHCONE since Sep.
Then KEK can distribute huge data to WLCG sites by adequate
throughput altough this upgrade didn't made large impact on
the firewalls for the ordinary internet usage from the campus
network.We will report changes by the LHCONE peer and

Network performance is key to the correct operation of any modern datacentre or campus infrastructure. Hence, it is crucial to ensure the devices employed in the network are carefully selected to meet the required needs.
The established benchmarking methodology [1,2] consists of various tests that create perfectly reproducible traffic patterns. This has the advantage of being able to...

This update from the HEPiX IPv6 Working Group will present the activities of the last 6-12 months. In September 2016, the WLCG Management Board approved the groupโs plan for the support of IPv6-only CPU, together with the linked requirement for the deployment of production Tier 1 dual-stack storage and other services. A reminder of the requirements for support of IPv6 and the deployment...

Configuration Release Management (CRM) is rapidly gaining popularity among service managers, as it brings version control, automation and lifecycle management to system administrators. At CERN, most of the virtual and physical machines are managed through the Puppet framework, and the networking team is now starting to use it for some of its services.

As presented during HEPiX Fall 2016, a full renewal of the CERN Wi-Fi network was launched in 2016 in order to provide a state-of-the-art Campus-wide Wi-Fi Infrastructure. This year, the presentation will give a status and feedback about this overall deployment. It will provide information about the technical choices made, the methodology used for such a deployment, the issues we faced and how...

As presented at HEPiX Fall 2016, CERN is currently in the process of renewing its standalone Wi-Fi Access Points with a new state-of-the-art, controller-based infrastructure. With more than 4000 new Access Points to be installed, it is desirable to keep the existing deployment procedures and tools to avoid repetitive and error-prone actions during configuration and maintenance steps.

The CERN network infrastructure has several links to the outside world. Some are well identified and dedicated for experiments and research traffic (LHCOPN/LHCONE), some are more generics (general internet). For the latter, a specific firewall inspection is required for obvious security reasons, but with tens of gigabits per second of traffic, the firewalls capacities are highly challenged....

The interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing exponentially so multiple technologies and solutions have emerged to connect mostly everything. A โthingโ can be a car, a thermometer or a robot that, when equipped with a transceiver, will exchange information over the internet with a defined service. Therefore, IoT comprises a wide variety of user cases with very different...

CERN networks are dealing with an ever-increasing volume of network traffic. The traffic leaving and entering CERN must be precisely monitored and analysed to properly protect the networks from potential security breaches. To provide the required monitoring capabilities, the Computer Security team and the Networking team at CERN have joined efforts in designing and deploying a scalable...
