2018-12-07 Network Engineering Team Meeting notes

NET Action Items Status

Update on ESnet agreement

LSST Network SC18 Demonstration:

Successful demonstration announced on project.lsst.org in LSST Digest. Also, Press release drafted by REUNA, could use as a starting point and jointly revise. How to accommodate different perspectives (Chile, multiple FIU experiments, etc.)? Multiple partner press releases, or a joint release. All NET members should examine and comment. Jeronimo wants to recognize other people who helped with the LSST demo.

Technical report to describe experiment and configuration as we did with December 2017 demo. It should be easy to do by revising Demo Plan documents. Include Grafana graphs.

LSST Network Engineering Meeting April 18, 2019 Santiago

Proposed Agenda items:

• Goal: work on the NET agenda over the next few weeks.
• Documentation - How IPs assigned, Vlans, firewall, ... There’s a security group at NCSA asking for the above information. Data Center in La Serena is coming online in 2019. NCSA team prepping for when to move equipment into this data center. NCSA will be involved in security at the base station, they are asking Matt for taps and other active equipment that should be purchased. NCSA will be configuring and packaging equipment to then send to LSST DC in LS. Documents LSE-78 and 309 are high level documents. Luis Coral is documenting more details on site. Detailed design documentation. REUNA has documentation on the DWDM system that’s not in LSST documents. Some REUNA documentation has been provided through deliverables. Some of the information NCSA is requesting could be in those documents. Recommendation: spend time before workshop and at the workshop to improve the documentation.
• Virtual NOC - What is the VNOC, what are the tools? Need a good solid implementation by end of FY19.
• ESnet and Miami/BR - ATL
• QoS, E2E Testing - Now have equipment in Chile to support testing. Put lab config into production.
• 2019 Demonstration
• (Suggestions...)

Should this be 1 day or 2? Work agenda until next NET meeting then decide.

Can everyone make it to Santiago or do we need a North American venue as well and good video connection between? If so, probably not Miami, since most FIU people will be in Santiago. Jeff will be in Chile as well, so maybe not Tucson.

Should we plan for a subteam of the NET to go to La Serena (e.g. Matt, Jeronimo)?

Can other sources of funding be identified to ease burden on LSST budget, particularly for those also going to SAACC?

We should invite ESnet.
