CA*net3International Transit Network (ITN)Service Internet2 International Task Force Meeting Oct 29, Atlanta, Georgia rene.hatem@canarie.ca tel: +1.613.781.0662 http://www.canet3.net/ http://www.canarie.ca/
Background • the richer the connections, the greater the possibilities and for all • collaborative effort between STAR TAP, Abilene, and CA*net3 • to facilitate the extension of the benefits of inter-connectivity of the world's National Research and Education Networks (NRNs)
Who • ITN Providers are: • STAR TAP (AS 10764) • Abilene (AS 11537) • CA*net3 (AS 6509) • who can benefit: any international NRN peering with at least one ITN Provider
CA*net3 basic ITN policy • will transit traffic between any two ITN participating international peers • provided there is enough capacity • will not transit to commercial networks • MOU not required
CA*net3 Int'l connectivity • today • Seattle (Westin building) Gigabit Ethernet 1 Gbps • Chicago (Ameritech STAR TAP) OC-3 • New York (111 - 8e Ave) OC-3 • New York (Teleglobe 60 Hudson) up to OC-3 • future • Chicago (optical STAR TAP) GigE / 10GigE in Q3-01 • Halifax (360 Networks/DalU) OC-3 in Q2-01
CA*net3 ITN implementation • how to implement with international NRN peers • how to coordinate with other ITN Providers
CA*net3 ITN implementation:NRN peers • CA*net3 offers ITN Service to peers • a "yes" or an absence of response = yes • "no" routes tagged with community 2500 • "yes" routes tagged with community 2501 • "yes" + MOU w/ Abilene, also tagged 2502
CA*net3 ITN implementation:other ITN Providers • STAR TAP routes tagged 2501 and CA*net3 2501 routes passed on • CA*net3 NOC verifies if new peer has MOU w/ Abilene. If so routes tagged 2502 and CA*net3 2502 routes passed on only
CANARIE's 6th Advanced Networks Workshop"The Networked Nation" November 28 and 29, 2000Palais des CongrèsMontreal, Quebec - Canada • "The Networked Nation", will focus on application architectures ("grids") made up of customer owned dark fiber and next generation Internet networks like CA*net 3 that will ultimately lead to the development of the networked nation where eventually every school, home and business will have high bandwidth connection to the Internet. • Three tracks: • Customer owned dark fiber for schools, hospitals, businesses and homes. • Next generation optical Internet architectures that will be a natural and seamless extension of the customer owned dark fiber networks being built for schools, homes and businesses. • "application grids", which are a seamless integration of dark fiber and optical networks to support specific collaborative research and education applications. • http://www.canarie.ca/
