9. UKLIGHT is a research network connecting UK to • NetherLight (Amsterdam) • StarLight (Chicago) • UKLIGHT is fully funded, out to tender • UK PoP at ULCC (London) • Hope for 10G links • Due to start operation in Jan 2004 • UKLIGHT is an opportunity • any reasonable project which has needs not easily satisfied by the IP production network may apply to make use of it • HPC remote compute and visualisation • Radio Astronomy • HEP Data transport……….see next section ESLEA at UKLight

19. Funding & Requirements gathering and analysis • No funding assumed • Requirements gathering and analysis process in progress • User Requirements Event – 3rd July • Presentations - www.ja.net/conferences_training/SJ5/prog.html ESLEA at UKLight

20. SuperJANET5 – a Hybrid Routed/Switched Network ? • The key concept is parallelism at the transmission level • Coarse grained paths/circuits • Multiple fibres • Multiple wavelengths • Finer grained multiplexed paths/circuits • Structuring each wavelength • Foundation infrastructure provides switched paths • The ‘standard’ IP service would be provided over one or more sets of these paths • Specific paths could be set up for and between e-Science and Research groups ESLEA at UKLight

21. Router Router ESLEA at UKLight

22. A possible set of services could be: • Production IP service • High reliability & availability • High capacity research & e-Science connections – network layers 3/2/1 as required • Mutual protection from production traffic • Network R&D – potentially any or all of Layers 3/2/1 • Sequestered from production network • Institutions would take the combination of services they required • Integrated infrastructure – separate services • Flexible architecture – enable integration, access and evolution ESLEA at UKLight

23. Consultation: Research & e-Science • SJ5 Overview paper • Set background – context for consultation • Open process • Anyone can respond – information on web • www.ja.net/superjanet5 • UKERNA will write to • Heads of Research Councils, RC Networking Contacts, DTI/OST • Research & e-Science Workshop - November (5th/6th)…… ESLEA at UKLight

24. Research & e-Science Requirements Workshop • By invitation - participation from the following groups • Research Council • Policy makers / IT strategists • ‘Network knowledgeable’ scientists from each Council’s community • E-Science • Centre Directors and Technical Directors Nominees • Network research community • Special Interest Groups • Particle Physics & Astronomy (PPNCG) • Others ? ESLEA at UKLight

25. Super Janet 5 Planning is just starting • Currently there is little evidence to motivate an upgrade from 10 -> 100 Gbit/s as SJ4 is empty … • However there is a realisation that it may be a “Multi service network.” • There is about to be a “Research Needs” focused workshop (5/6 Nov) • HEP has submitted a large “requirements” survey as part of an e-Science requirements exercise ESLEA at UKLight
