What is Pacific Wave?

Pacific Wave is a state-of-the-art international peering and lambda integrated facility designed to serve advanced research, education, development, and high tech networks throughout the Pacific Rim and the world.

Goal

: enhance networking capabilities by increasing network efficiency, reducing latency, increasing throughput, reducing costs and provision point-to-point lambda services to meet the short and long-term needs associated with advanced application and network development and implementation.

Global R&E Network Pathways

PacificWave DISCLAIMER - This network map was a best estimate of expected connectivity for 2005, several changes in connectivity and planned connectivity have happened since it was created

Pacific Wave Today

• Extensible peering exchange and lambda integrated facility • Nodes (currently) in Seattle and Los Angeles Seattle, connected by a 10GbE wave provisioned over National LambdaRail (2,241 kilometers) • AUP free • Supports IPv4 and IPv6; multicast enabled • Based on Layer 2, Ethernet connections (for layer 3 peering) • Provides 24x7 NOC support.

• Priced consistently from node to node • Allows participants to self-select their peering • Allows participants to connect to one-location and access participants at all Pacific Wave nodes • Supports advance applications • Welcomes any research or development network that can meet the minimum network configuration requirements (connect with a router; support BGP; support jumbo-frames)

Who Operates Pacific Wave?

A joint project of CENIC and Pacific Northwest Gigapop In collaboration with University of Southern California and University of Washington

Pacific Wave – What’s Next?

• Sunnyvale node to be implemented 2005 (Q2) • Several new (1G-10G) connections expected in 2005 • Need for more flexible interconnect (layer 2, layer 1, optical) and ability to manage these interconnect dynamics and complexity more efficiently • Demand for dynamic optical exchange capabilities (GLIF)

Translight/PacificWave (TL/PW)

• Proposal to NSF/IRNC (International Research Connections) – PI John Silvester (USC) – Co-PI Ron Johnson (UW) • Objectives – Build out PacificWave exchange capabilities to facilitate international R&E connections on US Pacific Coast – Assist in the termination of AARnet SXTransport links to SEA and LAX – Assist in buildout of Hawaii connectivity – Assist in operation of IEEAF link Tokyo-Seattle – Provide ongoing engineering and technical support to international networks landing at PacificWave nodes – Develop and operate advanced capabilities to support optical interconnect and exchange needs of R&E networks • In final stages of award process – any day now …
