Outline of the talk

	Goals and major directions of the project
	Software architecture, API,  SOAP/XML, some details
	How Lambda Station works - use cases
	Status and the near-term plans

The goal of the project...

	Target:  last-mile problem between local computing facilities and alternate WAN paths
	Strategy:  develop a network path selection service to interface production storage & computing facilities with wide-area network paths.
		alternate network paths for high impact data movement
		selective forwarding on a per flow basis
		graceful cutover and fallback on path changes
		on-demand from applications (authentication & authorization)
		current implementation based on policy-based routing & including the support of DSCP marking

Summary – Current Status

	Functional system deployed at FNAL, UNL, & Caltech
	Application LS awareness - dCache/SRM
	Primitive protocol to request a DC via ESNet/Internet2
	Successful demonstration SC05, I2 FMM, SC07
	(Sort ofÉ) Production use with US CMS Tier1, Tier2s at UNL and Caltech
	Flow analysis to invoke a Lambda Station ticket based on observed traffic

Plans

	Improve code to make production quality
	Support multi-platform clients
	Enhance protocol for interaction with OSCARs/ESnet & DCN/I2
	Improve distribution package
	Develop management/configuring tools
	Interface with monitoring system
	Documentation

Large-scale data recover via DCN

	One week after I2 FMM demo, UNL lost their Tier-2 data cache
	50TB Data recovered by transfer FNAL Tier-1:
		Largely via Internet2/ESNet Dynamic Circuit
		Completed in 32 hours
