GPAN (the Grid Proxy Architecture of Networks) aims to deploy Grid-aware networking technology onto existing commercial network devices. Those network devices—such as switches and routers—are not equipped with Grid-ware or the Grid-enabled software that support computing-intensive and data-intensive Grid services. GPAN exposes the unique proxy architecture through integrating DRAC network services and Grid/OGSA/WSRF Web Services under service coordination and resource policy. The outcome is that Grid applications such as GridFTP and GRAM can effectively make reservations on network resources such as bandwidth on demand, dynamic optical links, Ethernet VLANs and IP routes—just like reservations on computer and storage resources.
