Re: [alto] IETF 115 Hackathon Project on ALTO

[Jordi Ros Giralt <[e-mail]>]

PS: There will be at least one more ALTO Hackathon project, which is the work Richard and the team are doing in deploying ALTO / TCN to CERN / LHCONE / ESnet. Kai, Jensen, would you like to register this other project to the wiki when you have a moment?

We would also like to encourage the leads of any other ALTO hackathon projects to also register their projects in the wiki: https://wiki.ietf.org/en/meeting/115/hackathon

Thanks,
Jordi

Hi all,

I registered a Hackathon demo for the project we are doing around deploying ALTO in the Pacific Research Platform (PRP, https://pacificresearchplatform.org/) and its integration with GradientGraph to optimize application performance in the edge cloud. For this coming IETF 115, the demo will be running in emulation mode, with some components running in production in the PRP network. We expect this work to gradually evolve into one more ALTO production deployment (in addition to the other deployments that are being rolled out).

This is an effort that involves different parties including members from this ALTO WG, as well as members from PRP, UCSD, Caltech, SCU, etc.

If anybody is interested in participating, please let us know and kindly add yourself directly to the IETF wiki under the project "Optimizing XR Flows in the Edge Cloud Using ALTO and Bottleneck Structure Graphs": https://wiki.ietf.org/en/meeting/115/hackathon

Thanks,
Jordi with the IETF ALTO Hackathon Team

- Project info
  - Goal is to demonstrate how ALTO can provide the necessary network state visibility to allow an XR application make proper flow routing decisions, adjusting to changing congestion dynamics, and leveraging bottleneck structure analysis (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3452296.3472898)
  - Demo will be integrated and run in emulation mode, incorporating components including Mininet, ALTO, GradientGraph (G2), Segment Routing, XR, and a 5G network topology.
  - Initial integration tests in the Pacific Research Platform (PRP) production network (https://pacificresearchplatform.org/)
