Abstract :
In this article, we describe our experiences in implementing an experimental wide-area GMPLS network called CHEETAH (Circuit-Switched End-to-End Transport Architecture). The key concept is to add a complementary end-to-end circuit based service with dynamic call-by-call bandwidth sharing to the connectionless service already available to end hosts via the Internet. The current CHEETAH experimental network consists of off-the-shelf GMPLS-capable SONET switches (with Ethernet interfaces) deployed at three locations, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We designed and implemented a CHEETAH software package to run on Linux end hosts connected to the CHEETAH network. Among other functions, this software package includes an RSVP-TE client module to enable end users and applications to dynamically initiate requests for dedicated end-to-end circuits and receive/respond to requests for circuits. We present measurements for typical end-to-end circuit setup delays across this network. For example, end-to-end circuit setup delay from a Linux end host in NC to a host in Atlanta is 166ms.
