What is UCLP?• User Controlled LightPaths – a configuration and
provisioning tool built around grid technology using web services
• User can combine together various links, routers and switches to produce a wide are network that is under their control• Articulated Private Network (APN)
• Uses Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and so network can be integrated with other web service applications
• With SOA instruments, devices, sensors and wireless devices can also be integrated • All under user control and architecture

UCLP: Network element partitioning• Provides software tools to allow the network
administrator to partition its network elements into multiple resources, and expose its capabilities through web service interfaces.

UCLP: Resource abstraction• Provides software tools to allow the network
administrator to create logical resources that provide an abstracted view of the network element resources and how are they linked to each other.

UCLP: Topology creation/editing• Provides software tools to allow users (including
physical network admins) to create, reconfigure and delete network topologies using the logical resources acquired from different resource providers.
Utility Web Service A
Utility Web Service A creates point to point connections using SONET/SDH resources (withVCAT, LCAS, GFP)
Utility Web Service B
Utility Web Service B creates point to point and point to multipoint connections over Ethernet resorces (using VLANs, Q-inQ, …)
… Other.. (put the service you want here)

Use Case Scenario
• A group of partners of an European project need some resources of GÉANT2 and two NRENs: NREN A and NREN B.– Network Providers: GÉANT2, NREN A and NREN B.– User: Network administrator (or testbed WP leader) of the
European project.

Network Provider Functionality
• Create the Physical Network– Add network elements and physical links
• Delete / Create connections (on a network element per network element basis)
• Monitor the physical network, see usage statistics.
• Create logical resources (lightpaths and interfaces)
• Use the logical resources himself (directly or through use of high level applications / utility web services)
• Lease logical resource to other users / Get new logical resources from other users

Future activities
• Add support for more technologies:– MANTICORE project: physical and logical routers, users will

Concatenation, ROADMs, GMPLS.
• Add more utility web services:– Currently a Network Reservation System for UCLP is under
development. An adapter will be developed under the PHOSPHORUS project so that the UCLP Reservation System is compliant with the PHOSPHORUS project.
• Create a “UCLP Group”, that, together with Inocybe Technologies Inc. can provide professional UCLP solutions: support, training, customized services.
