“…Further, the analysis provided in this paper for the file-transfer application is an extension of the analysis provided in the CHEETAH paper [11]. First, in [11], we assumed the same rate for both the end-to-end circuit and the bottleneck link on the TCP/IP path.…”

“…We proposed the use of high-speed circuits for the file-transfer application in an earlier paper [11], where we called the architecture circuit-switched high-speed end-to-end architecture (CHEETAH). Our reason for redefining this architecture as RESCUE is to include the dial-up service application in which high-speed circuits are not set up end-to-end between end hosts but rather between an end host and an IP router.…”

Abstract-We propose a service concept in which high-speed Ethernet interfaces from end hosts are dynamically cross-connected to equivalent-rate Ethernet-over-SONET (EoS) optical circuits for transport across metro-area networks and/or wide-area networks. We call our service concept reconfigurable Ethernet/SONET circuits to end users (RESCUE). We describe how RESCUE can be used for two applications: dial-up service to Internet service provider routers and file transfers. We propose to deploy RESCUE service as an "add-on" to current Internet access for many reasons. Primary among these is that it allows a metro optical circuit-switched network to be operated at a high utilization, which is important to achieve a cost-effective bandwidth-efficient network. Given that end hosts with access to RESCUE service will have a choice of two paths, the primary Internet path and a secondary RESCUE option, end-host applications will need to make a routing decision. We carry out a quantitative analysis to provide a basis for this routing decision for both dial-up service and file transfers. For example, with the file-transfer application, if call-blocking probability on the optical circuit-switched network is 30% and the packet-loss rate on the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol path is 1%, a circuit setup should be attempted for files 180 KB or larger in low-propagation delay environments.Index Terms-Control-plane technologies for metro optical networks, resource management in metro optical networks, traffic engineering and performance optimization of metro optical networks.

Abstract-With the advent of service sensitive applications such as remote controlled experiments, time constrained massive data transfers, and video-conferencing, it has become apparent that there is a need for the setup of dynamically provisioned, quality of service enabled virtual circuits. The ESnet On-Demand Secure Circuits and Advance Reservation System (OSCARS) is a prototype service enabling advance reservation of guaranteed bandwidth secure virtual circuits.OSCARS operates within the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), and has provisions for interoperation with other network domains. ESnet is a high-speed network serving thousands of Department of Energy scientists and collaborators worldwide. OSCARS utilizes the Web services model and standards to implement communication with the system and between domains, and for authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA). The management and operation of end-to-end virtual circuits within the network is done at the layer 3 network level. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) are used to create the virtual circuits or Label Switched Paths (LSP's). Quality of Service (QoS) is used to provide bandwidth guarantees.This paper describes our experience in implementing OSCARS, collaborations with other bandwidth-reservation projects (including interdomain testing) and future work to be done.

“…There is neither the assurance that a packet will be delivered to its destination, nor any transport predictability (such as latency and jitter) when the packet is in transit. The requirements for user driven bandwidth allocation has spawned several activities such as the DOE funded Lambda Station (Bobyshev et al, 2006), On-Demand Secure Circuits and Advance Reservation System (OSCARS) (Guok et al 2006), TeraPaths (Bradley et al, 2006) and UltraScience Net (Rao et al, 2005) projects, the National Science Foundation (NSF) (National Science Foundation, 2007) funded Circuit-switched Highspeed End-to-End Transport Architecture (CHEETAH) (Veeraraghavan et al, 2003) and Dynamic Resource Allocation via GMPLS Optical Networks (DRAGON) (Yang et al, 2006) projects, Internet2's (Internet2, 2007) Bandwidth Reservation for User Work (BRUW) (Riddle, 2005) and Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) (Boyles, 2004) projects, CANARIE's (CANARIE Inc., 2007) User-controlled Lightpath (UCLP) project, and GÉANT's (GÉANT, 2007) AUTOBahn (Sevasti, 2006) and Advanced Multi-domain Provisioning System (AMPS) (Patil, 2006) activities.…”

Scientific computations and collaborations increasingly rely on the network to provide high-speed data transfer, dissemination of results, access to instruments, support for computational steering, etc. The Energy Sciences Network is establishing a science data network to provide user driven bandwidth allocation. In a shared network environment, some reservations may not be granted due to the lack of available bandwidth on any single path. In many cases, the available bandwidth across multiple paths would be sufficient to grant the reservation. In this paper we investigate how to utilize the available bandwidth across multiple paths in the case of bulk data transfer.
