STAR TAP and StarLight • STAR TAP: 5-year-old operational cross-connect of the world's high-performance Production R&E Networks 45-622Mb ATM • StarLight: optical evolution of STAR TAP connecting and switching/routing • Production Networks at 1Gb • Experimental Networks at 1Gb, 2.5Gb, and 10Gb • Research Networks at 10Gb • Funded by US NSF CISE ANIR, EIA and ACIR infrastructure grants to UIC, UIUC, NU, and IU • Enabling and sustaining support by ANL MCS
What is StarLight? StarLight is an experimental optical infrastructure and proving ground for network services optimized for high-performance applications StarLight Assists $32M (FY2002-3) in experimental networks (I-WIRE, TeraGrid, OMNInet, SURFnet, CA*net4, DataTAG) Abbott Hall, Northwestern University
StarLight Service Description Today • StarLight is a Gigabit Ethernet exchange point • Policy-free 802.1q VLANs are created between peering partners • StarLight benefits connecting networks: • High-speed peering with large MTU • Available collocation space • Planned 10GigE, other switched services • Several US and international networks connected • Multicast support • StarLight is focused on the needs of e-Science and supporting Experimental Networks
StarLight is Now Fully Operational • StarLight Equipment installed: • Cisco 6509 with lots of GigE ports • Juniper M10 and M5 (with GigE and OC-12 interfaces) • ESnet’s IPv6 Router • Data mining clusters • SURFnet’s Cisco 12000 GSR &15454 • Multiple vendorsfor GigE, 10GigE, and DWDM
StarLight Network Operations • All of the StarLight equipment (except IPv6 routers & AADS NAP) is monitored 24x7x365 by IU's GlobalNOC • GlobalNOC provides a 24x7x365 point of contact when trouble arises • noc@startap.net • 1.317.278.6630
