SUMMARY:Light-trail and FISSION Architectures for Metropolitan and Data-Cen
 ter Networking
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ashwin Gumaste (Indian Institute of Technology\nDepart
 ment of Computer Science\nand Engineering\nPowai\nMumbai 400076)\n\nAbstra
 ct: \nAbstract: The talk begins by highlighting the communication problem 
 in metropolitan regions and for content providers i.e. the use of data-cen
 ters. The concept of light-trails is proposed as a solution to solving the
  IP over WDM paradox. Light-trail implementation and protocols for growth 
 of a virtual topology are discussed. Subsequently\, implementation of ligh
 t-trails in commercial scenarios is highlighted. The second part of the ta
 lk uses light-trails as an enabler towards data-center design. The resulin
 g architecture called FISSION or Flexible Interconnection of Scalable Syst
 ems Integrated using Optical Networks is presented. FISSION allows a data-
 center to scale to previously un-achievable number of servers. Engineering
  challenges and optimization aspects of FISSION are presented. The talk co
 ncludes with new opportunities for research in the metropolitan and data-c
 enter space.\n
