Abstract

In this paper we present the Logistical Networkingprinciples and the tools we developed to support ourideas.Logistical Networking is defined as the globalscheduling and optimization of data movement, storageand computation based on a model that takes intoaccount al the network's underlying physical resources.We introduce then the Internet Backplane Protocol(IBP), a middleware created to allow the sharing ofstorage resources, implemented as part of the networkfabric, the exNode, a data structure that aggregatesstorage allocations on the Internet, and the L-Bone, adirectory service of distributed storage resource.
