  1. International Connectivity andAtlantic Wave Overview SURA IT and HPC Committee Joint Meeting March 22, 2005 Don Riley

  2. New SURA IT Strategy – Highest Priorities • Foundation-Building • Connectivity • Regional (USA Waves, Crossroads) • National (National Lambda Rail, Internet2) • International Opportunities • High Performance Computing • “Grids” • Data storage • Middleware • Program Development • SCOOP • Bio-Informatics/ Medical Research

  3. Program PlanRegional and National Connectivity • Goals • Secure new resources/tools to facilitate infrastructure improvements • New partnerships • Secure federal and other sources of funding • Build the Regional Infrastructure: SURA Crossroads • Evolving new role for MAX as key resource • AT&T Collaboration: Fiber First; Waves next (?) • Support and leverage SURA region NLR nodes • Facilitate other regional partnership and efforts • Establish National and International Connectivity and Visibility • Leverage AT&T Collaboration Agreement • USAWaves and National Buyers Consortium • Help complete/enhance NLR backbone to advantage of SURA region • Impact digital divide issues • Drive down cost while improving physical connectivity

  4. Program PlanInternational Connectivity • Program Elements • Identify and engage with strategic international networking forums and projects • National and Regional Networking groups • Internet2, NLR, CENIC, etc. • CANARIE, GEANT/DANTE, SURFNet, UKERNA, CERN, NORDUNet, etc. • APAN, TRANSPAC, AMPATH, ALICE/CLARA, etc. • International Networking Initiatives • TransLight, EuroLink, SurfLight, UKLight, NorthernLight. Etc. • GLIF - Global Lambda Integrated Facility • HOPI (UCAID) • Support and partner with international research collaborations • HENP, GOOS/IOS, BioGrid, eVLBI, etc. • Partnership with IEEAF • New international fiber and lambda donations • Link and leverage with SURA/USAWaves and NLR

  5. NSF International Research Network Connections (IRNC)(Kick-off March 11, 2005)

  7. Thailand Regional Initiative: Next Generation InternetAnnounced by H.E.Dr. Surapong Suebwonglee, Minister of ICT, ThailandJanuary 26, 2005

  8. International Connectivity for Collaboration • Lots of point-to-point OC-x’s • Now increasing waves: 2.5G ’s, 10G ’s • NSF IRNC solicitation is generating more • GLIF • Multiple POPs, connection points, “owners” • Numerous exchange agreements, AUPs, barriers to transparent communications • Increasing focus on neutral, open exchanges, distributed peering infrastructure

  9. Another view of NSF IRNC GLORIAD: Global Ring to China and Russia To Japan, HongKong, Singapore To Europe P-Wave To Hawaii, Australia To Australia To Latin America

  10. U.S. International Peering Fabric

  11. Removing Geographic Barriers • Concept: an extensible, geographically dispersed peering fabric -- with open, neutral exchange/peering points • Result: you connect at any one location on the fabric and have the option to peer with any other participant, regardless of where they are connected

  12. Atlantic Wave: A New Paradigm for International Peering (and more)on the East Coast

  13. SURA and FIU/AMPATH: Now WHREN (Western Hemisphere Research and Education Network) • SURA and FIU committed to interconnect AMPATH and NYC/MANLAN • Initially with 1Ge that SURA has under its agreement with NLR • Then with 10G • Important to include connectivity to MAX and its federal connections in DC area; leverage SURA investment in MAX • Leverage SURA investment in SoX, role of SoX/SLR as southeast exchange point

  14. Important East Coast International Peerings • FIU/AMPATH, Miami - Latin America • NYC/MANLAN - multiple • MAX - Feds + GEANT

  15. MANLAN, MAX & AMPATH

  16. The Strategic Picture…

  17. SURA Atlantic Wave Proposal • ITSG (IT Steering Group) recommended and SURA Executive Committee approved: • That SURA acquire a 10Gbps wavelength on the NLR backbone from Jacksonville to NYC and a switch to be placed in NYC, in support of the Atlantic Wave initiative (background and details follow). • The estimated one-time expenditure of $481,472 be funded from the I.T. Fund.

  18. Atlantic Wave Matching Commitments • Significant matching funds are being committed by the various partners in Atlantic Wave (based on initial estimate): • a. AMPATH (FIU): recurring costs of 10G wave from JAX to NYC - $ 35,823 per yr • b. FLR and FIU/AMPATH: 10G wave from JAX to Miami – cost not yet known • c. AMPATH: switch in Miami - estimated $150K • d. FLR: switch in Jacksonville - estimated $150K • e. ATL/SoX switch: SoX/SLR - estimated $150K • f. MAX: switch in DC/MAX - estimated $150K

  19. AtlanticWave • AtlanticWave is an International Peering Fabric along the East Coast • US, Canada, Europe, South America Plus…. • Distributed IP peering points: • NYC, WDC, ATL, MIA, SPB • Described as an integral component of the WHREN-LILA proposal to extend LILA on the Atlantic side to MANLAN in NYC • Establishes 10Gb wave from Miami to MAX/NGIX-E in DC and MANLAN/NYC over FLR and NLR with interconnects in Jacksonville and Atlanta • Interconnects the Atlantic with international peering exchanges in TransLight/Chicago and the Pacific through CA*net4 and Pacific Wave (P-Wave) • SURA, FIU-AMPATH-CHEPREO, the IEEAF, MAX, SoX/SLR, MANLAN, and in partnership with the Academic Network of Sao Paulo (ANSP) are combining efforts to establish AtlanticWave • Complements the PacificWave distributed peering facility on the west coast

  20. The Strategic Picture…

  21. AtlanticWave Topology • A-Wave will provide multi-layer/multi-protocol services between participating networks • Layer 3 peering services over ethernet • GLIF “light path” services • Others TBD • A-Wave will provide a Layer 3 distributed exchange capability • Ethernet based • Best effort packet exchange • Linear topology – unprotected (NLR based) • 1 GE, 10GE LAN, 10GE WAN client access • Jumbo frame support

  22. A-Wave Layered Services IP Peering Services Statically Provisioned GLIF Light Path Services Dynamically Allocated IP IP IP User defined sonet payload framing Inter-switch VLAN 1 Inter-switch VLAN 2 … IP VLAN(s) Ethernet IP (POS) Ethernet STS-(x)c Light Path 1 STS-(?)c Light Path 2 STS-(?)c Light Path 3 STS-(?)c Light Path n … VCAT/LCAS A-Wave backbone: OC192c Sonet wave over NLR VCAT = Virtual Concatenation LCAS = Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme Prepared by Jerry Sobieski

  24. Deployment Plans & Timeline • Phase 1: Deploy backbone OC192c Sept 05 • Between MIA-ATL, ATL-WDC, WDC-NYC • 10Gbs WAN PHY ethernet over NLR wave initially. • Migration of existing exchange switches/networks • Regional backhaul • Reconfiguration of existing exchange services and networks • Phase 2: Sonet switch deployment Dec 05 • Map IP/Ethernet Peering Fabric across “appropriate” sized VCG (GFP-F & VCAT) • Engineer and deploy GLIF Common Services in conjunction with other GLIF domains • Phase 3: Deploy dynamic light path services Mar 06 • Phase 4: Expansion Aug 06 -> • Integrate links between A-Wave, P-Wave, Northern Tier, etc
