Abstract:
In this project, we develop a Cyber infrastructure for Reconfigurable Optical Networks (CRON) to bridge the gap between physical networks and large scale scientific research. The CRON provides integrated and automated access to diverse high speed optical networking environments. The CRON resolves the critical issues by achieving three key objectives: (i) Unlimited virtual networking resource CRON will enable researchers to explore new network technologies and rapidly assess their impact on applications irrespective of physical limitation and allow educators to introduce the state-of-art networking environment to students who cannot access those physical networks. (ii) Reconfigurability CRON will allow researchers and educators to modify the virtual environments without interfering with others who share CRON. (iii) Complete environment CRON will provide all kinds of networking environments, including regional networks and global transoceanic optical networks.
