Introduction to technology testing Stanislav Sima Paris, November 2nd, 2004 (revised November 4th, 2004)
Goals of GN2-JRA4(Technology and Service Testing) • Promote synergy between research activities performed by individual NRENs and research groups • Interconnect the GN2 test facility with NREN testbeds • Perform joint technology testing • Provide effective feedback to the GN2 development process • Support preparation of the successor network to GN2 GN2 JRA4 meeting
Selected goals of Work-Item 1(Distributed testbed in support for other activities and other FP6 projects) Goals influenced by Work-Item 2 (Technology testing) • Distributed testbed to serve as a platform for testingtechnology relevant to GN2 • Enhanced withtechnology that reflects the likely evolution of GN2 and NGN • Testbed will be strongly influenced by the findings of the Work Item 2 • Interconnecting the NREN local testbeds or NRENs • Provisioning of optical connectivity infrastructure where this is possible and economically feasible GN2 JRA4 meeting
Goals of GN2-JRA4 Work-Item 2(Technology testing) • Promote synergy in technology testingbetween research activities performed by individual NRENs and research groups • Interconnect the GN2 test facility with NREN testbedsby dark fibres, if suitable for long distance transmission technology testing • Perform joint technology testing • Provide effective feedback about technology to the GN2 development process • Support preparation of the successor network to GN2 GN2 JRA4 meeting
WI2 goals cont. • To bring related European network research activities together and continue them on a pan-European level • Increasing the testbed range to a pan-European dimension • Each participating NREN will participate in technologytesting according to its expertise GN2 JRA4 meeting
WI2 goal: to gain experience with emerging networking concepts not currently used in production research networks. Examples given in GN2 TA include: • Dark fibre provisioning and operations • Long Haul and Ultra Long Haul transmission over dark fibre • Multi-colour (multi-lambda) transmission • Passive optical transmission • All-optical networking • Generic Frame Procedure (GFP) • Other advanced networking technology GN2 JRA4 meeting
JRA4 technology stagesfrom ideas to deployment • Recording of idea and reasons of their importance • Specification of requested device/network function • Prototype implementation/offer selection • Device/technology testing in laboratory • Deployment and testing in local testbed • Deployment and testing in GN2 testbed • Pilot deployment and testing in NRENs or GN2 • Production-wide deployment in NREN or GN2 (+return and correction if any step is not successfull) Outside GN2: Deployment in commercial networks GN2 JRA4 meeting
WI2 entry situation: Technology testing map 2004 To be completed by participants before 10th November 2004 with attachement shortly describing technology/device, actual results and costs paid by participant and requested from GN2. GN2 JRA4 meeting
Technology testing map 2005 -example DANTE to specify budget rules for WI2 with examples before 10th November 2004. To be completed by participants before 1th December 2004 with attachement shortly describing technology/device and promised results. GN2 JRA4 meeting
Ideas about technology testing update (2005-2007) • Optical lambda switching, pure optical networking • Transmission and switching equipment for transmission rate 40G, 100G, 160G • Soliton transmission technology • Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) • Low cost Optical Amplification and OEO conversion • Others • Preliminary map proposals for year 2006 and 2007 before 1st November 2005 GN2 JRA4 meeting
Importance of Analysis • Deliverables should satisfy contract on GN2 project • Concurrently, results should be at world leading edge (from research and deployment point of view) • Analysis of current and expected leading edge in new technology deployment in research networking is important: first step follows GN2 JRA4 meeting
National LambdaRail in USA • The first National LambdaRail link was litin 2003 • Last month, NLR completed the first full East-West phase of deployment, which included links between Denver and Chicago, Atlanta and Jacksonville, and Seattle and Denver. • Phase two, which is expected to be complete by May or June 2005, will cover the southern region of the United States. • Cisco (Pirelli) 15808 transmission equipment, 4x10Gbps, expandable GN2 JRA4 meeting
Crucial Importance • Experts say NLR is the most ambitious networking initiative since two efforts considered crucial to the development and commercialization of the Internet: • the U.S. Department of Defense commissioned the ARPAnet in 1969 • the National Science Foundation worked on NSFnet in the late 1980s GN2 JRA4 meeting
NLR Topology GN2 JRA4 meeting
Dark fibre connection of NLR users • There is still a serious last-mile problem. It's great we have this nationwide infrastructure, but it can only be used if you have the fiber to connect to it. • Internet2 has established the National Research and Education Fiber Company (FiberCo) to help these groups acquire regional fiber. GN2 JRA4 meeting
Lengths of dark fibres in RENs • More than 20 000 km in Europe (plus some fibres for GN2 and GN2 testbed) • About 33 920 km in USA (including National LambdaRail) • About 6 700 km in Canada • NFF contracted in Australia …. GN2 JRA4 meeting
GN2 starting position against NLR • Weak: GN2 are late and has one low budget for production network and research • Strong: • More advanced transmission technology? • More Fibre miles than NLR ? • Ability to further replace leased services by dark fibre lines each year? • Transition of NRENs and academic MANs to dark fibres with GN2 support? • DF testbed for GN2 upgrade preparation? GN2 JRA4 meeting
GN2 topology • Near over Border (NoB) connections of CEF Networks are mostly technically simple, cheap, natural and advantageous (low cost international traffic, local peering,….) • GN2 will be overlaying (the second) dark fibre infrastructure • Should GN2 copy GEANT old IP topology? • Some traditional GN2 lines will be redundant • Delivering of long E2E lambdas will be crucial for NRENs from GN2, not neighbour country connection (Nordunet, SEEnet,…. ) GN2 JRA4 meeting
Installed fiber PIONIER nodes Fibers+pipes started in 2003 Fibers+pipes planned in 2004/2005 PIONIER nodes planned in 2004/2005 Pionier fibre network GN2 JRA4 meeting
GN2 testbed preparation • Continent-wide by using GN2 lambdas • Partly based on dark fibres • Prefered connection based on JRA4 WI2 participants dealing with dark fibre lighting • Continent-wide dark fibre testbed needed before deployment of new technology in GN2 production network for risk decreasing GN2 JRA4 meeting
Continent-wide DF testbed in 2007? (first proposal) • Ultra Long Hall DF testbed Line I: Poznan – Prague – Milano – Madrid • Ultra Long Hall DF testbed Line II: London - Prague – Budapest – Bucharest (-Athena) • DF connection to local DF testbeds: UKLight fibres (Cambridge, University of Essex), CzechLight fibres (Prague, Brno, Plzen), Pionier fibres (Poznan, Krakow), ….. GN2 JRA4 meeting
Cost constraints(costs are not from any tender, preliminary offers are used) • Such about 5000 km testbed could be too expensive (2.5 mil. Euro/year) • Testing of ULH technology (about 3000 – 4000 km) are important. • We should take into account: • DF offers for research support • Special possibilities that will result from GN2 procurement • Support of interested NRENs over 50% cost sharing GN2 JRA4 meeting
Preliminary status of DF testbed lines • Poznan-Prague: 413 km, available, low cost/km • Prague-Budapest: 535 km, available, low cost/km • London-Prague: 1150 km,available, high cost/km • Prague-Milano: 875 km, available, high cost/km • Milano-Madrid: 1576 km, available, high cost/km • Budapest-Bucharest: 796 km, available, high cost/km • Bucharest-Athena: 1227 km, availability not sure (Route distances, you could use 50% more as the first apoximation of fibre lenght) High cost: about 500 Euro/km/year (fibre pair) GN2 JRA4 meeting
Steps to continent-wide DF testbed(if JRA4-WI2 relevant partners will be interesting) • Poznan-Prague: 2Q 2005 • Prague-Budapest: 4Q 2005 • London-Prague: 2Q 2006 • Prague-Milano: 4Q 2006 • Milano-Madrid: 2Q 2007 • Budapest-Bucharest: 4Q 2007 • Bucharest-Athena: 2Q 2008? • To start negotiation about costs?
