  4. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationThe Czech Republic • Area: • 78 866km2 = 30 450 sq mi (South Carolina) • Population: • 10 349 372 • (Michigan) source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  5. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationCESNET • CESNET - Czech Educational and Scientific Network • Established as Association of Legal Entities (z.s.p.o.) in 1996– not for profit • All public universities + Czech Academy of Sciences • 52 staff members in Prague + over 150 part-time staff working on projects • Funded by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic and association members under research plan: „Optical High Speed National Research Network and its New Applications“ (2004-2010) 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  6. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationExperimentation on Physical Layer • Understanding of physical layer is crucial: • There are no applications without physical layer. • Technology used in physical layer limits overlying applications by transmission speed, latency, non-determinism etc. • There is electronic processing speed limitation (about 100 Gb/s per port), optical processing speed limitation will be about 1 Tb/s per port. Optical processing has significantly lower energy consumption. See for example presentation Tetsuya Miyazaki: “Node and Link Technologies for New Generation Networks”, NICT,http://www.ict-fireworks.eu/fileadmin/events/9-10_June_2008_Brussels/Presentations/09-06-08/5B-Photonic_Networks/15-TETSUYA_MIYAZAKI_-_Photonic_Networks.pdf 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  7. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationExperimentation based on physical layer • Should be based on technology advances. • Many possibilities to enhance applications can be find in physical layer. • In many cases we can gauge before network users, what new physical layer possibilities will bring improvements in future. • In Research and Development driven by experiments, it is important to verify and evaluate real possibilities, create new offer of services for users, and find early adopters. • Applications can be enhancement by connecting dispersed users to experimental facilities. 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  8. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationConcepts used • Concepts used for building: • Operational National Research and Educational Network (NREN) - CESNET2 • Experimental Facility (EF) – CzechLight, part of Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF), see http://www.glif.is • Dark Fiber (DF) + Customer Empowered Fiber (CEF) Networks • Nothing in Line Approach (NIL) • Cross Border Fibers (CBF) • Family of open photonic devices – CzechLight Family 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  9. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and Experimentation Dark Fibres, Customer Empowered Fibres • Migration from telco lambda services to dark fibers brings: • Much more capacity • Freedom in network design • DFs really needed for E2E services • First mile issues with fibers in many places • Wireless can be used too but limitations may be rather significant (no WDM, 10G predicted, but higher speeds?, reliability and availability...) • First DF in CESNET in 2000, 2.5 Gb/s PoS • Approximately 300km (186mi), 3 regenerators • More DFs have been acquired since then • First Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) operated DF in CESNET in 2002, 1 GE. • Approximately 190km (118mi), NIL concept • DF line in service till upgrade to 10 Gbps O-DWDM system in 2008 • Ethernet-based E2E services, shared capacity, VLANs • Transition of backbone to DFs was finished in 2004 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  10. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationNothing in Line • Nothing in Line (NIL), ‘hut skipping’ • Original approach, hut each 80km (50mi) - not necessary always and everywhere • Distances can be extended, even with commercially available equipment • Reduction in CAPEX+OPEX (less HW, housing, power) • Examples – NIL operational lines • 235km (146mi) EDFA only originally 1GE, upgraded to 10Gbps O-DWDM • 308km (191mi) EDFA + Raman 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  11. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationCross Border Fibres • Many projects and traffic with your neighbor? Acquire/rent a DF - latency will be low. • In CESNET: • CBF: SANET Slovakia 1GE in 2003, upgrade to Open photonic DWDM (O-DWDM) in 2006 • CBF: PIONIER Poland 1GE in 2004, upgrade to DWDM in 2007 • CBF: ACONET Austria O-DWDM, in 2006 O-DWDM 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  12. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationOpen photonic devices for network research and experimentation • CESNET is developing family of open photonic devices (CL family), enabling early adoption of leading edge photonic technology • Devices support network research and experimentation on dark fibre level, fast testing and prototyping, support experimental applications requested by users or field experiments on dark fibre lines, verifying feasibility of network improvements. • Proved very useful for CESNET2 development, Experimental Facility development, CBF lighting, GLIF applications development (especially for dispersed end users), improvement of interoperability on the physical layer, as well as remote monitoring and control, low latency and deterministic multicast (will be addressed further). • Main advantages: offer freedom of design, ability to meet user needs, easy to modify if change necessary, avoiding delays in innovation (low needs to save investments), photonic transmission and processing speeds, low cost, saving energy, and space. 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  29. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationConclusions I • Attention to photonic transmission and processing should be increased • Speed limits of electrical processing, above certain limit the only possibility • Ability to make savings on energy consumption, housing space. Should be addressed by the physical layer network design: the possibility of addressing them on the higher layers is very limited • Design of E2E lightpaths – multidomain task • Necessity of interoperability at physical layer • Theoretical understanding and experimental verification (in DF experimental facilities) necessary to verify feasibility of deployment in the production network • Cooperation with FTTx vendors and operators • Open photonic systems • Can enable early adoption of the new photonic technology in the production • Enable and support experimental applications requested by users or field experiments on dark fiber lines • Can offer beneficial cost advantages 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC

  30. Dark Fibre Facilities for Research and ExperimentationConclusions II • The development and interconnection (federalization) of experimental facilities (open testbeds) enabling field technology testing and user participation should be supported • Give researchers an experimental environment for validating innovative – and potentially disruptive – architectures and technologies including physical layer. Many issues are only discovered when technology, devices or systems are deployed in "real-life" situations. 5th TRIDENTCOM, Washington DC
