Project meeting

Data transfers can be a separate entity, independent from the SRM.
SRM may not be needed for the reserved data transfer with qualify of service.
Negotiation is out of band. This is through the BeStMan interface, piggy back on the existing SRM message passing.
How do we handle the LAN without the TeraPaths?
In ORNL, there will be a static network circuit that can be setup as requests.
SRM might need to directly talk to OSCARS or non-TeraPaths LAN provisioning systems.
One way to handle the Quality of Service is via over-provisioning.
When you are funded by DOE, you have to consider complex and heterogeneous sites that is different from your own sites.
University of Michigan: will not run OSCARS, and not officially DOE Network supported site. We will replace U Michigan with LBNL or a site on ESnet.

Coordination and management of the end-to-end storage resource and bandwidth reservation
Coordination with network resource provisioning service (TeraPaths) for advanced network reservations
Management of the negotiated end-to-end storage and network resources

Design and implementation of intelligent multi-domain bandwidth allocation algorithms
Management of the end-to-end network resource negotiation and configuration

Decouple the SRM/GridFtp.
Replace the TeraPaths with ESCPS
Bundle GridFTP with the generic co-scheduler that is stripped down from SRM/BeStMan
Testbed in LBNL
