As deployment of local LambdaGrid domains based on wavelength-routing optical networks gains momentum, there is increasing demand to interoperate them for the deployment of global collaborative grid applications. The SPIN (Secure Photonic Interdomain Negotiator) network control plane enables seamless deployment of global collaborative grid applications over a multi-domain wide-area LambdaGrid with secure interdomain access to shared optical resources. In addition, an increasing number of collaborative grid applications require multimedia traffic support as they generate variable-rate streaming and bursty traffic. The Integrated Services Optical Network (ISON) enables a multi-purpose LambdaGrid capable of efficiently supporting multimedia collaborative grid applications with diverse networking bandwidth and communication requirements. At iGrid, scientists use a SPIN-based optical networking monitor and an ISON-based dataset portal application to post, mine and visualize scientific datasets in a multi-domain LambdaGrid.
