| Abstract |
Distributed computing applications are in general designed to run in
LAN
like network environments. The assumption does not hold for Grid
resources
distributed over wide-area and across different administrative domains,
where network connectivity is limited by the presence of firewalls and
routers. Existing and proposed virtual network solutions were not
designed
to handle issues particular to Grids, such as private IP address space
collision, high administration overhead, need for static and public IP
addresses and lack of flexibility to configure independent virtual
networks.
Network related issues in Grid computing and how ViNe approaches them are
going to be discussed. |
