  1. Next Generation Network Innovations in Europe: The NREN - GÉANT Perspective & FEDERICA Vasilis Maglaris maglaris@netmode.ntua.gr Chairman, European NREN Policy Committee - GÉANT Consortium Professor, National Technical University of Athens - NTUA 2nd EU - Japan Cooperation Forum on ICT Research Brussels - July 2, 2009

  2. R&E Networking in Europe:3-tier Federal Architecture Campus network NREN NREN Campus network Research Infrastructure NREN Campus network

  3. R&ENetworking in Europe • A 3-tier Federal Architecture, partially subsidized by National and EU Research & Education funds: • The Campus Network (LAN/MAN) > 3,500 Institutions, >30 M Users • The 34+ NREN’s (MAN/WAN) • The Pan-European Interconnection: TEN34  TEN155 GÉANT:GN1 in FP5 (Gigabit IPv4/IPv6 over leased capacity)  GN2 in FP6 (Hybrid Optical Backbone on Dark Fiber) GN3 in FP7: Advanced optical technologies & Interoperable tools for robust multi-domain dynamic bandwidth services at a global scale: A Next Generation Networking (NGN) e-Infrastructure

  5. EU NREN’s – GÉANTn:A Success Story - Why? • Century old Telecom (+ 40 years ARPAnet - Internet) experience: Proven strong “Network Externalities”  Sharing tradition • Industry needs for Next Generation Network proofs of concept, synergy with R&E community: The ARPAnet paradigm @ the US of America, inspiring the “US of Europe” • Foresight of National + EU funding authorities, triggered by NREN planning – SERENATE, EARNEST Studies • A decade (+) of success in serving R&E needs of the Continent  Smoothing-out “digital divides”& enabling powerful education communities (educators, students, pupils?) • NREN’s as utilities for the R&E communities – extending the “commons” principle aka. Open Source S/W, Wikipedia… • Solidarity & orchestrated innovations within the NREN community, efficient service coordination (DANTE) & human networking (TERENA) • Stable Governance: NREN Policy Committee (NREN PC)

  7. NREN’s & GÉANTn: e-Science Enablers + Networking R&D Platforms • NREN’s – GÉANT providecost effective e2e switched & light path connectivity within the Dark Fiber Cloud (DWDM footprint) + GlobalIPv4 – IPv6 coverageand Hybrid networking services + Multi-domain Network management, resiliency & support • e-ScienceVirtual Organizations obtain production quality hybrid networking, beyond leasing individual circuits, wave-lengths or dark fibers • e-Infrastructures as equalizers, reduce the DIGITAL DIVIDES in Europe & globally: Big Science affordable via virtual e-Science • NRENs – GÉANT stimulate Network Research & enable novel concept evaluation - emulations in a global production environment via virtualization of facilities & services

  11. Wavelengths on GÉANT (Hans Döbbeling DANTE, 02/2008)

  12. GÉANT in GN3:A factory of (virtualized) networking resources & services (1/3) • Extending the service portfolio to production quality multi-domain hybrid networking • Campus, NRENs, GÉANT… • Innovate to resolve the multi-domain impasse • Integrating Control Plane Functionality within Distributed Computing (GRID, SOA) Middleware • Translating into a common view an enriched set of per-domain information, feedback to standardization bodies (IETF, OIF, ITU-T, OGF) • Note that there are up to now ONLY TWO inter-domain control plane (signaling) success stories: • SS7 (telephony) & BGP (Internet)

  13. GÉANT in GN3: A factory of (virtualized) networking resources & services (2/3) • Production quality multi-domain services to enable NRENs in: • Distributed ticketing workflows, performance monitoring (PERT+) • Security (incident reporting, anomaly detection) • Federated Roaming (Eduroam), AAI & ID management (eduGAIN) • Multi-protocol monitoring at 10 -100 Gig speeds (perfSONAR+) • End-to-end Provisioning (E2ECU, Ishare) • Automated multi-domain provisioning (AutoBAHN)

  14. Automatic Bandwidth Provisioning: The AutoBAHN Concept (based on a presentation by Afrodite Sevasti, GRNET.GR)

  15. GÉANT in GN3: A factory of (virtualized) networking resources & services (3/3) • Extend the NREN – GÉANT Services to provisioning of integrated IT services that include: • Multi-domain hybrid networking services (Campus, NREN, GEANT) • Virtualization of resources • Storage (?) • Computing (?) • Converging e-Infrastructures • Relationship with Grid – Supercomputing • Towards cloud computing aka. Google, Amazon, IBM…? • Now more than ever the NETWORK IS THE COMPUTER

  16. Summarizing the GÉANT Vision in GN3 • To create an innovative resilient multi-domain hybrid networking environment, using advanced optical transmission & switching technologies • To enable R&E users through their Organizations with flexible, open, interoperable & scalable production quality services via their constituent NRENs • To be an enabler for Global R&E networking supporting international e-Science initiatives, creating a Global Virtual Village to house researchers & educators around the world • To contribute to standards as a key participant in European & Global efforts towards the Future Internet

  17. GÉANT& its Global Peers: Help shaping the Internet of the future • GÉANT aims to be a key player in European & Global initiatives on the Network of the Future • US Initiatives • GENI http://www.geni.net/ (clean slate) • VINI http://www.vini-veritas.net/ (on Internet2, NLR) • …... • Japanese Initiatives • AKARI http://akari-project.nict.go.jp/eng/index2.htm • …… • European Initiatives • FEDERICA http://www.fp7-federica.eu/ (on GÉANT & NRENs) • FIRE ICT Projects http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/fire/

  18. FEDERICA @ a Glance • Federated E-infrastructures Dedicated to European Researchers Innovating in Computing network Architectures • RI FP7 Project, based on stakeholders on network research: • NRENs, GÉANT, end-users and vendors • Coordinator: GARR (the Italian NREN) • Aims to: • Employ initially up to 1 Gbps MPLS & GigE circuits from NRENs and GÉANT (GÉANT+ service) • Install open source routers, programmable routers and open API switches in selected NREN PoPs • Develop a tool-bench for managing virtual e2e facilities • Provide virtualized facilities to end-users: Research groups on the network of the future, requiring disruptive emulations • Act as a pre-normative step towards incorporation within GÉANT (GN3) activities

  22. Is there Life after GN3? • Networking technologies enable a sustainable advanced platform: • Terabithybrid optical networking (enabling the GTRN – Global Terabit Research Networking vision) • Optical backbone topology trends (100 Gig/λ, MPLS-TP, Carrier Ethernet…) • Layer 1-2 connectivity to power end-users (Super-Computing Centers…) • Shared NREN facilities (Cross Border Fibers, Lightpath Exchanges…) • Will leverage SUSTAINABILITY; but caution on DIGITAL DIVIDES & integrated operations & management issues (operations – management) • Virtualization(logical routers, service oriented middleware, cloud computing…) • GÉANT is advancing multi-domain dynamic services within global collaborations, e.g. European – North American DICE Group (GÉANT via DANTE, Internet2, Canarie, ESnet) – APAN ? • Bandwidth on Demand & Inter-domain Control Protocol IDC DCN (Dynamic Circuit Network) in Internet2, AutoBAHN in GÉANT • Advanced multi-domain Monitoring tools perfSONAR
