Transcript CA*net II

Rationale for GLIF
November 2004
CA*net 4 Update
> Network is now 3 x 10Gbps wavelengths
– Cost of wavelengths dropping dramatically
– 3rd wavelength operational in June
> Support for e2e lightpaths for high end applications
– most top research institutions interested
– E.g. 10GbE CWDM to TRIUMF on UBC campus
> Future growth likely for international transit lightpaths
> Korea, Taiwan, Ireland and others have purchased UCLP
lightpaths across CA*net4
> In negotiation with other networks
> UCLP being deployed on Internet2, TANet2, KREOnet,
i2CAT
CA*net 4 is NOT an optical
switched network
> CANARIE has no interest in optical experiments
– E.g. HOPI, GMPLS, etc
> There are few applications that need 10 Gbps
> There are few applications that require 2 Ghz + 2 Gbytes memory
on the PC
> Cost of bandwidth is dramatically dropping
– Cost of wavelengths now affordable by individual researchers
– CAVE*net good example
> CA*net 4 is made up of many parallel application empowered or
customer empowered specific networks eg:
– Computer back planes (Westgrid)
– High energy physics network
> The CA*net 4 tries to answer the question how can these
autonomous network islands interconnect to each other without a
central organization like telco, CANARIE or Internet 2
UCLP: Objectives
> Network management
– integrate wavelengths and fiber from different suppliers
– integrate within network management domain
– offer VPNs to users
> Create discipline specific re-configurable IP networks
– Multi-homed network which bypasses firewalls with direct connect to
servers and routers
> User controlled traffic engineering
– Active replacement for Sockeye and Route Science
– Alternative to MPLS

UCLP intended for projects
like National LambdaRail
NLR 2 partner acquires a separate wavelength
between Seattle and Chicago and wants to manage it
as part of its network including add/drop, routing,
partition etc

UCLP: Applications 1
> International Transit
– Korea, Ireland, Taiwan layer 1 transit
– Other countries under negotiation
> ORANs
– Layer 1 restoral and protections paths
– BCnet, ORANO and RISQ to date
> Distributed back planes between HPC Grid centers
– Westgrid (1 GbE moving to 10 GbE)
– AceNet to come
> Distributed Single Mount file systems
– Yotta, Yotta - SGI
– Needs consistent performance and throughput
– Frequent topology changes to meet needs of specific applications
UCLP: Applications 2
> ATLAS Canada
– 980 Gbytes FCAL data once a month from CERN to Carleton U,
UoAlberta, UoArizona, etc
– Will significantly increase to Terabytes when production runs start
– Would take over 80 days on IP R&E network
> CERN Low level trigger data to UoAlberta
– Initially streaming data rates 1 Gbps moving to 10Gbps later in the year
> Canadian virtual observatory
– .5 Tbyte per day to UoToronto and UoHawaii
– 250 Mbps continuous streaming from CCD devices
> Canada Light Source Synchrotron – remote streaming of data
acquisition to UoAlberta
– 2 to 5 Gbps continuously
