Abstract

The object of this paper is the experimental demonstration that the recently proposed the Service Oriented Automatic Switched Transport Network (SO-ASTN) is an enabling technology to support Global Grid Computing. The SO-ASTN can be considered as an improvement of the ASTN architecture by the addition of an extra functional layer, namely Service Plane, designed according to the ITUT Intelligent Network Conceptual Model. SO-ASTN architecture provides network awareness to Global Grid Computing Applications such that the QoS level of a LAN can be translated to a Wide Area Network (WAN) scenario. An implementation of the Service Plane is presented highlighting the software architecture and the technology details. In particular it is applied to a testbed that implement a virtual topology request from a grid application.
