North American LHC Site Hierarchy
• Tier 0 CERN• Tier 1 Regional Archive & Analysis
– US• Brookhaven ATLAS• FERMI CMS
– Canada• TRIUMF ATLAS
• Tier 2 Analysis Centers– Universities
Data Challenges1. SC1: initial tests between some Tier-1 sites and CERN. Datafiles
transported from disk to disk using globus_url_copy. Date: December 2004. Result: tests were done with BNL, CCIN2P3, Fermilab, FZK and SARA.
2. SC2: sustained file transfers with an aggregated rate of 500 MByte/sec out of CERN. Disk to disk using software components from the radiant service at CERN. Participating sites: CCIN2P3, CNAF, Fermilab, FZK, RAL, SARA. Date: last two weeks of March 2005.
3. SC3: sustained file transfer simultaneously to 6 Tier-1 sites. Disk to tape (at 60 MByte/sec) using SRM. Participating sites: CCIN2P3, CNAF, Fermilab, FZK, RAL, SARA. Date: July 2005.

Data Challenges4. SC4: sustained file transfer simultaneously to all 10 Tier-1 and
some Tier-2 sites. Inclusion of data processing on farms at CERN and at the Tier-1 sites. Date: Q4 2005
5. SC5: the whole infrastructure of Tier-1 and Tier-2 sites in place. Simulated data movements between all partners. Date: Q1 2006
6. SC6: test of the whole infrastructure at twice the nominal rate. Date: Q2 2006
7. SC7: test of the whole infrastructure with real (cosmic) data from the experiments

Tier 2 Light Path Plans
• U Texas– No
• U Chicago– Initially not, though we do have capabilities to do so. At UC, we
connect to Starlight via optical links provided by I-WIRE. • Indiana U.
– Initially not, though we do have capabilities to do so. • Caltech
– We'll experiment on-demand network path setup dynamically using Monalisa service agents and GMPLS.
• U Michigan– We are an UltraLight collaborating site and will utilize dedicated
light-paths, QoS/MPLS and high-performance protocols (like FAST) to do our Service Challenge work.
