Optical Build Plan and Ongoing Operations • Level 3 providing most of the fiber footprint and colocation • Level 3 providing installation services for the optical equipment • Internet2 NOC providing installation services for IP Network • Ongoing operations will be owned by Internet2 • Level 3 will provide first-line optical triage and monitoring • Internet2 NOC will provide escalation engineering, network design and provisioning
Ciena Optical Platform • 100Gbps capable 88-channel DWDM system • 100G cards shipping today • ROADM-based solution at most or all add/drop facilities • Directionless capability in metro areas • Non-Dispersion-Shifted approach provides economical approach that reduces CAPEX • Compact, scalable footprint that adapts to the changing needs of our community
Phase 1 Progress – 89% Complete • All fiber acquired and accepted • All Optical Equipment Installed • BER Testing proceeding • Sunnyvale-Sacramento remain • System Commissioning • EMS system installed and being populated with nodes • Level3 acceptance progressing and should be complete by the end of this week • Internet2 NOC database population nearly complete • First 100GigE circuit between New York and Washington DC configured
Phase 2 Progress – 10% Complete • Current fiber test result data should be available shortly • All optical equipment ordered and will arrive in mid-October • Route priority • Salt Lake City – Seattle for SC2011 underway • New York to Cleveland to assist in New York metro transition • Colocation being ordered • All routes except Kansas City-Houston and Houston-Atlanta ordered • Working on ILA and Segment endpoint orders on priority routes
Phase 3 Progress • Colocation orders pending Phase 2 order completion • Ciena equipment ordered in October • Jackson-Memphis fiber engineering underway • Level 3 Portions of Phase 3 build target completion of April, 2012 • NTNC portions on target for July, 2013
Internet2 Network Operations • T-1600 Migration • T-1600 platform selected for advanced 100GigE delivery • 8 T-1600s deployed in 2011 • Replaced MX-960 routers re-deployed as TR-CPS nodes
Internet2 Network Operations • Backbone Traffic • MPLS load balancing introduced on portions of the backbone to distribute traffic more evenly • Seattle – Los Angeles • Washington DC – Atlanta • Kansas City to Chicago (under consideration) • Juniper router code has been stable since January • VPLS deployed to support LHCONE effort • New BGP communities established for future Internet2 Net+ services
TR-CPS • Hardware Upgrade • Cisco 7600s replaced with Juniper MX960s (reclaimed from Internet2 R&E IP Network) • All nodes upgraded by June 2011 • Connector links to Integrated TR-CPS network • Direct connections and MPLS backhaul to TR-CPS nodes • Most usage via MPLS backhaul • Available for all connectors • >21 of 35 adjacent ASNs only dependent on integrated network for service • Please contact NOC if ready to migrate traffic directly to integrated TR-CPS network. • New Dallas node installed and being integrated into the network
Wave Services – Light It Up! • New capability, new locations • Community-owned national network • First transcontinental 100G wave network! • Enable transforming applications – long haul bandwidth not a constraint • Add/drop abilities in over 55 locations • Send inquiries to waveco@internet2.edu
Internet2 ION Service • End to end Layer 2 VLAN service • NEW – persistent VLAN capability • Implements IDC protocol (jointly developed with ESnet, GÉANT) • Implemented with OSCARS v0.5.3 • Joint development project of ESnet, Internet2, and USC ISI East • Peers with IDC instances at regional networks and campuses • Peers with IDC instances such as ESnet SDN, GÉANT AutoBAHN, and US LHCNET
TR-CPS • Provides commodity connectivity to broad range of destinations; used by 18 of 20 connectors. • 371 Gbps of interface capacity to peers or roughly: • 248Gbps of private interconnects averaging 6.5¢ per Mbps of capacity • 45¢ per Mbps across TR-CPS budgeted expenses • IPv6 • Peering connectivity via 11164 adjacencies (just like IPv4) • Transit continuing via adjacencies with AS11537 cps.inet6 RIB • Active effort to enhance leading up-to World IPv6 Day
Commodity IP • Commodity Internet via Level 3 • Service for our members • Participating in Quilt CIS program • Award from LONI • RFPs or simple price requests • Direct service management interface to Level 3 NOC
FiberCo • FiberCo • Fiber at pre-negotiated rates with carrier • Inter-city and metro fiber available • Contracts already established • Current agreement expires in April, 2012 • Evaluating possible extension • http://www.internet2.edu/fiberco/
Connectors *2.5G commit on 3rd port
Internet2 Commons: Video Cloud Services • Internet2 offers video cloud services through the Internet2 Commons • New telepresence interoperability services supporting H.323, SIP, and Cisco TelePresence • New service models, including dedicated capacity model for large institutions and service providers • Expanded infrastructure services including dialing infrastructure, and R&E Cisco TelePresence Exchange with NLR • Upcoming desktop collaboration services featuring VidyoDesktop and Cisco Movi INTEROPERABILITY
Telepresence Interoperability Service • Internet2 Telepresence interoperability service is operational • Successful calls happening daily, up to 32 single and multi-screen endpoints using H.323, SIP and E.164 dialing • Learn more at the Internet2 Commons Forum Thursday at 7:30am in room 306C • Visit the NEW Commons website including telepresence pricing information: http://commons.internet2.edu • Send requests for information to telepresence@internet2.edu
Global Connectivity • Requests from members, government agencies and NGOs • Seamless international connectivity for all overseas sites and locations • Interconnections with all major NRENs around the globe • Evaluating solutions for wide range of networks
MANLAN Equipment Changes • MANLAN provides two distinct services: • Layer2 Ethernet Exchange • Optical Exchange • Often the lines are blurred between the two for sub-circuits (e.g. subcircuit is reframed from SONET to Ethernet and involves both sets of equipment) • MANLAN Optical equipment upgrade • Prior implementation used Nortel equipment that was no longer supported by Nortel-Ciena • Port density was becoming a problem • Replaced with full-sized CienaCoreDirector in early February • CoreDirector sourced from Chicago where it was providing dynamic circuit services in the previous implementaton of the ION network • Hot swapped during a short maintenance window. Went smoothly • Upgrade provides MANLAN community with enhanced services, greater port capacity, with a minimal investment of infrastructure dollars to implement
Equipment Upgrade • Ethernet Exchange being upgraded in October 2011 • RFP for equipment released in early July • Brocade MLX platform selected • Low cost • 100G availability today • Openflow on roadmap • Status • Equipment being received and is being staged • Installation planned for late October
