On-demand VPN Support for Grid Applications

چکیده
Quality of Service delivered to Grids by packet-switched networks, is one of the most important factors affecting performance and efficiency of both Grid applications and middleware. The use Virtual Private Network services can improve the overall performance of Grids in many respects. In this paper, we show how the security, privacy and Quality of Service offered by scalable on-demand VPN services can be applied in large-scale Grid scenarios. We propose a novel network resource abstraction for resource discovery of on-demand Virtual Private Networks. It is implemented in a Grid Information Service prototype which was successfully tested both on dedicated infrastructures and production networks. 1

متن کاملWeighted-HR: An Improved Hierarchical Grid Resource Discovery
Grid computing environments include heterogeneous resources shared by a large number of computers to handle the data and process intensive applications. In these environments, the required resources must be accessible for Grid applications on demand, which makes the resource discovery as a critical service. In recent years, various techniques are proposed to index and discover the Grid resource...

متن کاملNetwork Programmability for VPN Overlay Construction and Bandwidth Management
Reliability and security concerns have increased demand for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Ideally, a VPN service should offer autonomous overlay networks with guaranteed bandwidth allocations over a shared network. Network providers seek an automated VPN creation and management process, while users of a VPN would greatly benefit from secure control over the handling of their traffic. Current...
