Kees Neggers SURFnet SC2003 Phoenix, 20 November 2003 • Question 2 e-infrastructure • e-infrastructure is the innovation engine for a modern economy • new network infrastructure is an enabler for new applications • research and higher education community are the early adopters GigaPort innovation engine GigaPort Network Application in research and higher education Application in business and by citizens Application in education Application in government Application in healthcare GigaPort NG Network Application in research and higher education Application in business and by citizens ... 1999 - - - - - 2003 2004 - - - - - 2007 2008 - - - - SURFnet5 2001-2005 • Partners BT and Cisco • 15 PoPs connected by thirty 10 Gbit/s lambdas • Dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 since 2001 • More than 100 institutes connected at Gbit/s level • 500,000 users Global Lambda Integrated Facility 2003 10 Gbit/s New York MANLAN Stockholm NorthernLight IEEAF 10 Gbit/s 2.5 Gbit/s 10 Gbit/s 2.5 Gbit/s 10 Gbit/s CA*net4 Tokyo WIDE 10 Gbit/s IEEAF 10 Gbit/s Chicago StarLight 10 Gbit/s SURFnet 10 Gbit/s Amsterdam NetherLight NSF 10 Gbit/s DWDM SURFnet Dwingeloo ASTRON/JIVE 10 Gbit/s 2.5 Gbit/s SURFnet 10 Gbit/s Tokyo APAN 2.5 Gbit/s 10 Gbit/s London UKLight Geneva CERN Prague CzechLight VLBI at JIVE in Dwingeloo today Lambdas as part of instruments www.lofar.org • Question 5 What did we learn • Point to point lambdas are a powerful service • Current Optical-Electrical-Optical equipment can allocate sub-lambdas to individual applications • Management is still cumbersome Hybrid network architecture seems to be the only valuable NREN option for the future: – Packet switched internet for regular many-to-many usage – Light Paths for new high speed few-to-few usage SURFnet6 overview • Realization of a next generation hybrid network with seamless end-to-end communication: – Based on SURFnet owned dark fiber, already 3000 km in place – Native IPv4, IPv6 and Lambda Services over a single transmission infrastructure managed via a single control plane – Multi-domain networking – Ethernet services as part of the WANs – Intelligence of networks and the associated responsibilities at the edges • Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid Positioning GigaPort NG Network Joint development with Virtual laboratory for EScience project from the University of Amsterdam Research Pilot Function Applications Generic application services Virtual Laboratory for E-Science Grid services Network infrastructure GigaPort-Network Civil infrastructure Innovation cycle Market
