- Roll Call
- Agenda Bashing
- Review of the Past WG
activities
+ this working group, for the last 2 years from 2001 Aug,
has just focused
on the first goal described in P2P WG charter, by
inviting speakers
from APAN/Internet2 community and giving/exchanging
their
experience/information at P2P sessions.
+ P2P
Session Report
1) Korea@Home project,
by Connor Park/KISTI
An Hybrid P2P-style distributed computing
platform
Test operation (2003.2.6~2.14) :
with
6,472 clients, achieved Max 644Gflops (> World Top Rank
124th).
Avg. 470.6Gflops
Applications : Virtual Screening for new drug design,
3D image rendering
2) Structured P2P
Network for Loop Avoidance, by Chan-mo Park/KJIST
, 3) An Overview of
Jxta for Supporting P2P Technologies and Applications, by Simon See/NTU&Sun
Several p2p application examples developed using Jxta
-
Discussion/Comments
+ No more just having a P2P session during APAN
Meetings. we need to contribute to APAN community with our expertise that we
have
got in the area of P2P.
+ Heterogeneous Network
Environment across APAN countries (Dr. Yamaguchi)
Glancing at the goals section in WG charter, this group seems to be
interested in P2P techs/applications only on High-Bandwidth network
environment. But, as we all know, only a few countries are in such an
environment while the other countries do not. This heterogenous
network
environment, ranging from tens of Kbps to tens of Gbps, across APAN countries
may provide us an unique environment filled with
challenges and
opportunities in researching/engineering P2P techonlogies and applications,
typically well known as bandwidth-devouring demons.
(e.g., what
technologies are necessary to realize bandwidth-hogging p2p content-exchanging
applications on this wide-area
heterogeneous network environment?
Grid WG members also have the same problem.)
in this context, if P2P WG really wanna contribute to "APAN community
as a whole" as stated in the charter, we'd better discuss and decide
whether this heterogeneous network environment would be considered as a target
network environment for this WG or not.
Depending on the consensus of
members on this matter, goals, milestones, and/or action items of this WG would
be changed to reflect it.
+ P2P traffic measurement and handling : issues
some institutions/ISPs are measuring P2P traffic.
we need
to collect and exchange information and best practice on :
- what are the characteristics of P2P traffic?
- How to
identify P2P traffic?
- How do they handle with P2P traffic? what are
the policies?
+ cooperative/collaborative project item?
- Measurement-related one is the one obivious candidate. We can start
from surveying and catching up related work that has been conducted
by APAN and Internet2. any comments? volunteers? suggestions?
-
P2P Techs/Applications
Need to perform a requirement analysis process
to answer the question "what kind of p2p applications do we need on our network,
and what technologies are necessary to enable them? By whom and how
to develop, test and deploy them? "
through brain-storming/discussion
among WG members AS WELL AS YOUNG STUDENTS WHO USE P2P APPLICATIONS
EVERYDAY.
this process is expected to naturally lead members to
discuss/cooperate with each other.
graduatestudents@apan.net, a newly
formed mailing list of APAN graduate studetns can be used as a good place for
this.
it's also strongly recommended that we try to have our own
working code built/modified based on the above requirement analysis
process.
- APAN Computing and/or Storage Resource Pool?
A
non-profit public (but access is controlled somehow) computing resource pool or
storage resource pool for APAN people, constructed with desktop
resources can also be a candidate. would it be good/necessary for the APAN
community? any comments?
5. Chair Election
- Hyunchul Kim is decided to keep going as a chair for another two years.
6. Next Meeting
+ Preparation for the next APAN meetings (APAN/I2 Joint Techs Workshop in Honolulu)
