  1. GRNET3 update Chrysostomos Tziouvaras Broadband Infrastructures Development Manager Greek Research and Technology Network CEF Workshop Prague, 29 May 2006

  2. Migrating from GRNET2 to GRNET3 • The GRNET network at its current state (GRNET2) is built on leased DWDM lambdas for connecting IP routers • The next generation GRNET network (GRNET3) will be built on owned (long term IRUs) DF links CEF Networks Workshop

  3. Tenders for dark fibre • A tender for acquiring 15-year IRUs was issued at February 2005 • For three regional links (blue lines) • Budget: 4,07MEuros • Status: contracts signed with OTE • Another tender for acquiring 15-year IRUs was issued at February 2006 • For covering major Greek cities (green lines) • Budget:13,1MEuros • Status: contracts are to be signed within June 2006 CEF Networks Workshop

  4. Specifications • Single-mode fiber pair • Availability ≥ 99% • Monitoring and failure reporting • Failure recovery • 3 days for repairing terrestrial links • 20 days for repairing submarine links • Maintenance: downtime cannot exceed 6 hours/year/link • SLA for the optical characteristics of the DF links (attenuation, CD, PMD) • Collocation services at terminal and intermediate sites • Optionally: • G.655 fiber • Automatic failure notification CEF Networks Workshop

  5. Results • Tender published at 2005: 932 km of DF • Optical transmission equipment deployment is underway • Tender published at 2006: 2157 km of DF • To be delivered within 6 months after contracts will have been signed Attenuation 0.32 dB/Km , 0.25 dB/Km (submarine) CD G.652 -> 16.5 ps/nm/km (at 1550 nm) G.653 -> 0 ps/nm/km (at 1550 nm) PMD 0.050 ps/(Km)1/2 CEF Networks Workshop

  6. Equipment tenders • A tender for acquiring optical transmission equipment for lighting the three regional DF links was published at September 2005 • Budget 375KEuros (including 3 years support) • Status: contract signed with Adva (Siemens Hellas) CEF Networks Workshop

  7. Technical offer I • FSP2000 with DWDM lambdas • Passive components • 4 lambda mux/demux @C-band • Upgrade up to 32 lambdas in steps of 4 • Multirate Transponders • 3R • Support all data rates from 100Mbps to 2,5Gbps • Transparent interfaces • Can be used as regenerator • Ability to create loops (local and line sides) through NMS • ALS support CEF Networks Workshop

  8. Technical offer II • Network Element Management Interface (NEMI) • Manages all active components • Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) • Path for communicating management traffic between FSP2000 nodes and the NMS • Extra lambda at 1630nm • Full duplex 100Mbps Ethernet • Optical input power measurement • Fiber degradation monitoring at 1630nm • Fixed Gain C-band EDFAs • All lambdas get the same amplification CEF Networks Workshop

  9. Technical offer III • The Athens-Chania case: submarine link featuring 2 spans of about 170km CEF Networks Workshop

  10. RFI for optical switching equipment • In order to prepare forthcoming tender for lighting DF links covering the rest Greek cities, an RFI was published • Focusing on • products and architectures that could enable automatic L1/2 circuit provisioning to selected GRNET clients (e.g. Grid nodes) • 13 manufacturers responded to this RFI CEF Networks Workshop

  11. NG-SDH DXC WX RFI results I • Types of boxes that could be used for automatic L1/2 circuit provisioning: • NG-SDH switches: typical SDH switches (VC-x based switching fabric) with data (1/10GbE) capabilities. • ROADM. Switch (OOO or OEO) based on lambda without sub-lambda processing • Hybrid. Use linecards with VC-x grooming and include ROADM card CEF Networks Workshop

  12. RFI results II • NG-SDH switches highlights: • Nx1GbE client signals aggregation is supported in two ways: • Each 1GbE client signal is mapped to an appropriately sized VCG (full line rate) • 1GbE client signals are aggregated through a line card featuring L2 capabilities and are mapped to smaller size VCGs. Mapping can be based on MPLS, 802.1Q. • Most manufacturers support both options • Relevant standards (GFP/VCAT/LCAS) are followed • Jumbo frames support CEF Networks Workshop

  13. RFI results III • Currently, most manufacturers do not support a control plane for automating circuit provisioning • Roadmaps include control plane support (especially GMPLS) by early 2007 CEF Networks Workshop

  14. Future plans • Further extension of the DF backbone (tender to be published within 2006) • Enable GRNET clients’ access to the DF cloud through • Acquiring IRUs for clients located in Athens and Thessaloniki (tender to be published within 2006) • Utilising Municipal Fibre Networks (MFNs) that are currently built in most Greek cities – expected to be available by mid 2007 • CBF interconnection CEF Networks Workshop
