proposed_title: Networking Enhancements for Grid Computing 

session_type: Workshop 

proposed_duration: 90 mins 

target_audience: Networking world 

num_attendees:  

abstract: This workshop will try to bring together major networking initiatives worldwide, to share experiences and ideas on the networking infrastructures that facilitate grids. Different technologies that have been implemented will be presented, also pointing out connections to GGF work (NM-WG, GRAAP-WG, GHPN-RG, others).
 

synopsis: The issue of integrating networking technologies with the grid and providing networking facilities to advance grids is of great interest amongst national and international NREN projects. The problems that stem from these requirements are complex and require the establishment of synergies and the development of standards. The workshop will bring together technologists from the networking world to discuss individual or other efforts in this context, including the implementations of GGF recommendations or other work.

Four major projects have been invited:

1) GEANT/GN2 (Speaker: Afrodite Sevasti)
2) Canarie (Speech confirmed, Speaker TBD)
3) Internet2 (Speech confirmed, Speaker TBD)
4) VIOLA (Speaker: Peter Kaufmann)

There is ongoing email discussion with the GHPN-RG chair and others to explore cooperation possibilities and extend to areas such as provider networks (Telco-CG focus), with the corresponding duration extension.
