NSI customer service representatives and user support office: NASA Science Internet

The NASA Science Internet, (NSI) was established in 1987 to provide NASA's Offices of Space Science and Applications (OSSA) missions with transparent wide-area data connectivity to NASA's researchers, computational resources, and databases. The NSI Office at NASA/Ames Research Center has the lead responsibility for implementing a total, open networking program to serve the OSSA community. NSI is a full-service communications provider whose services include science network planning, network engineering, applications development, network operations, and network information center/user support services. NSI's mission is to provide reliable high-speed communications to the NASA science community. To this end, the NSI Office manages and operates the NASA Science Internet, a multiprotocol network currently supporting both DECnet and TCP/IP protocols. NSI utilizes state-of-the-art network technology to meet its customers' requirements. THe NASA Science Internet interconnects with other national networks including the National Science Foundation's NSFNET, the Department of Energy's ESnet, and the Department of Defense's MILNET. NSI also has international connections to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and several European countries. NSI cooperates with other government agencies as well as academic and commercial organizations to implement networking technologies which foster interoperability, improve reliability and performance, increase security and control, and expedite migration to the OSI protocols.

High-speed, cross-continental networks - A necessity

The networking requirements that the Earth Observing System (EOS) program has levied on NASA and the national and international operational networking communities is addressed. The objectives of the EOS program are listed and include the development and operation of an observing system to acquire essential, global earth science data on a long-term, sustained basis and in a manner which maximizes the scientific utility of the data and simplifies data analysis. Network design issues are also discussed, including protocol selection, the Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite, the Open Systems Interconnect network suite, and the internet evolution. Open and closed network issues are also discussed. A number of networks now in place are assessed including NASNet, and ESNet. These offer possible options and/or solutions to be considered by the NASA Headquarters EOS Data and Information Systems Program.

Continuous Test and Transition Infrastructure for Quantum Networking for Science Complex

We propose a network architecture with a separate quantum dataplane and a conventional control plane: (a) Quantum Data Plane: The Quantum Data plane consists of links of dark fibers connecting quantum switches and repeaters, which in turn, connect to quantum computers, memory and sensors. Since the current reach is limited to local areas, it will begin as a collection of site networks at laboratories, (b) Conventional Control Plane: The Control plane provides management access to quantum devices for configuration and provisioning via control nodes with firewall and encryption capabilities. Continuous Test and Transition Infrastructure: We propose an infrastructure with a control plane connecting multiple sites via encrypted tunnels over conventional networks consisting of the following: (a) Site Quantum Networks: Individual site networks supported by their fiber plants connect laboratories that house and connect to their quantum devices for testing and interoperability.(b) Site Control Planes: Sites are connected over individual control planes with control hosts with Software Defined Networking capabilities, which can be peered with other networks via ESnet.(c) Progressive Expansion: Initially, sites will develop individual data planes with their specific quantum devices and fiber connections, and mechanisms to interface with conventional networks. They progressively expand and interconnect, under a wide-area ecosystem of peered control planes for device testing, interoperability development and roll off into production environments.

QUANT-NET Control Plane Framework (QNCP) v1.0.0

The QUANT-NET Control Plane (QNCP) provides a software framework for expressing and managing quantum network resources. It may be used to orchestrate a physical quantum testbed with real device driver implementations, or it may be used as a proving ground when developing new protocols and management functions. In practice, both approaches may be useful when undertaking research and development in emerging quantum testbeds. While a number of control systems have been developed for specific quantum platform demonstrations, an openly available and general solution for operating quantum networks has not emerged. QNCP is designed to fill this gap. The framework has been designed to provide extensible, modular capabilities that include scheduling, routing, monitoring, and pluggable protocols. A number of reference implementations in each module category have been included in the installable packages; however, the intent is that each of these modules may be extended or re-implemented to meet the needs of the particular deployment or research need. The software is currently being used in the QUANT-NET testbed project, which spans resources between LBNL and UC Berkeley Physics.

New York-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center Requirements (Analysis Report)

EPOC uses the Deep Dive process to discuss and analyze current and planned science, research, or education activities and the anticipated data output of a particular use case, site, or project to help inform the strategic planning of a campus or regional networking environment. This includes understanding future needs related to network operations, network capacity upgrades, and other technological service investments. A Deep Dive comprehensively surveys major research stakeholders’ plans and processes in order to investigate data management requirements over the next 5–10 years. Between February and June 2024, staff members from the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC) met with researchers and staff from New York-Presbyterian (NYP), Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), and NYSERNet for the purpose of a Deep Dive into scientific and research drivers. The goal of this activity was to help characterize the requirements for a number of campus use cases, and to enable cyberinfrastructure support staff to better understand the needs of the researchers within the community. Material for this event included the written documentation from each of the profiled research areas, documentation about the current state of technology support, and a write-up of the discussion that took place via e-mail and video conferencing. The case studies highlighted the ongoing challenges and opportunities that NYP and CUIMC have in supporting a cross-section of established and emerging research use cases. Each case study mentioned unique challenges which were summarized into common needs.
