HENP WG Goals
• One of our first task upon forming our working
group was to define a set of goals
• These goals needed to address the range of
interests and concerns of our community
• We arrived at 9 goals, which are now part of our
charter.
• These are are the best definition of what our
working group is about…

October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #1
1.
Support the development and deployment of toolkits,
documentation and guidelines for best practices so
that existing expert knowledge and tools for high
throughput data transfers, packet loss and
throughput-limit monitoring, and collaborative systems
are widely known.
Contact: Tom Hacker/Shawn McKee (U Mich)
Slide 4
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #2
2.
Support the deployment of testing and monitoring
tools and applications, link and site instrumentation,
and a standard methodology, in association with the
Internet2 End-to-End Initiative, so that all of HENP's
major network paths can be adequately monitored,
and used at full capability.

Slide 5
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #3
3. Share information and provide advice on the
configuration of routers, switches, PCs and
network interfaces, and network testing and
problem resolution, to achieve high
performance over local and wide area
networks in production.
Contact: Sylvain Ravot(CERN)/<To be named>
(Status report today at WG meeting)
Slide 6
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #4
4.
Work with the staffs of the international (Tier0),
national (Tier1), regional (Tier2) and local (Tier3) Grid
facilities as needed, to verify high throughput and
network responsiveness, in association with the Grid
projects, and for new collaborative interactive
systems.
Contact: Les Cottrell* (SLAC)
Slide 7
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #5
5. Work with the sites, expert networking teams
at national labs, universities, and
computational science centers, to develop and
expand on a knowledge base for high
performance networks. Develop a support
base of knowledgeable engineers, technicians
and scientists to assist with the above goals.
Contact: <TBN>
Slide 8
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #6
6.
Work to identify and track the programmatic network
needs of the current and future generation HENP
program: quantitatively in terms of bandwidths,
throughputs and computer system capabilities
required to provide the needed overall performance;
and qualitatively in terms of the features and
characteristics of existing and new systems needed
for efficient distributed data access, processing and
analysis as well as remote collaboration.
Contact: Harvey Newman(CalTech)
Slide 9
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #7
7. Work with GriPhyN, PPDG, EU DataGrid,
iVDGL and other Grid projects to ensure that
the US and global network infrastructures are
satisfying the programmatic needs of scientists
using grids.
Contact: Dantong Yu(BNL)/Iosif Legrand()*
Slide 10
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #8
8. Work with the network engineering staffs of the
US and global research networks to help
define the requirements and operational
procedures for a Global Grid Operations
Center, and mission-specific Grid Operations
Centers as needed, so that the ensemble of
research networks is able to work efficiently
and provide the high level of capability
required.
Contact: Jim Williams (IndianaU)
(Status report today at WG meeting)
Slide 11
October 27, 2002
HENP WG Goal #9
9. Investigate emerging new network
technologies, such as optical switching and
lambda-based network infrastructure, for
applicability and potential use in support of the
HENP program. If appropriate, develop a
strategic plan for coordinated deployment of
these technologies among HENP sites.
Contact: Phil Demar(FNAL)/Bill St. Arnaud(CANARIE)
