Many Grid applications require high bandwidth end-to-end connections between Grid resources in different domains. Fiber optic networks, owned by different providers, have to cooperate in a coordinated manner in order to provide an end-to-end connection. Currently, multi-domain optical network solutions require paper-based long-term contracts between administrative domains. This paper describes a solution for dynamically creating optical connections between different autonomous domains. This was implemented in the form of a Grid Service following the Open Grid Service Architecture. In our prototype, each switch belongs to a different network domain. Our Grid Service uses a toolkit based on the Generic Authorization, Authentication, and Accounting framework. This toolkit authorizes the use of optical infrastructure elements based on specific policies that are active within each domain. To complete our multi-domain authorization architecture, a Broker Service was also implemented. Our Broker Service interacts with the Grid Service instances to provide Grid application with a simplified way to set up end-to-end connections on demand.
