DYNES Documentation
Now that things are operational, we We encourage you to join the community list, dynes-deployments@internet2.edu. Some of you should be on this, if not subscribe here: https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/subscribe/dynes-deployments. We are still going to be available to answer questions regarding operations, but it’s important that you try things first (don't be afraid to fail) before pulling the panic switch. Some things to note: - We maintain accounts to make sure things are running, but we want all sites to begin the process to monitor and ensure these devices are integrated into the environment. This means use RANCID on the switch, use NAGIOS on the servers, get comfortable with managing the OS and software (it's just linux under the hood). The OSCARS software is not unique to DYNES and as such we do not develop it or support it directly within this project. We are encouraging people to join the OSCARS user community (oscars-users@es.net, join here:https://listserv.es.net/mailman/listinfo/oscars-users) for support from the developers and users of the software directly.

NSF-funded project (grant number 0958998) will develop has developed and deploy deployed the Dynamic Network System (DYNES), a nationwide cyber-instrument spanning about 40 US universities and 14 Internet2 connectors. A collaborative team including Internet2, Caltech, University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University will work worked with regional networks and campuses to support large, long-distance scientific data flows in the LHC, other leading programs in data intensive science (such as LIGO, Virtual Observatory, and other large scale sky surveys), and the broader scientific community.

Internet2's ION connects the regional DYNES instruments with each other and with other non-DYNES ION reachable entities. Referring to the above picture, Campus 1 can create a connections to Campus 2 through the Regional without going through Internet2. If Campus 1 wants to create a connection to another campus served by a different regional or to a non-DYNES (but ION reachable) site then that connection goes through Internet2's ION.
In some cases, a campus may connect directly with Internet2's ION and either not pass through a regional or the regional will provision static VLANs in its infrastructure to allow the set of VLANs designated to the campus for DYNES to pass through.
