  2. SURFnet • Provides the Dutch National Research Network • Not for profit company, 50 employees • 100% subsidiary of Stichting SURF • 150 connected organizations, 750.000 users • Turnover (2003): 30 MEUR • Infrastructure services: • innovation paid for by government • cost effective exploitation for higher education and research

  3. GigaPort Next Generation Network • Research networking as innovation engine between research and market introduction of new services • GigaPort NG Network (2004-2008) • Consortium of 50 Dutch research organizations • Government grant 40MEuro • Project started January 1st, 2004 • Builds on GigaPort project ending in 2003 • Partnership with industry

  4. Subprojects GigaPort NG Network • Research on Networks: • Optical Networking • High Performance Routing & Switching • Management & Monitoring • Grids & Access • Testing Methodology • Networks for Research: • Contract Industry Partner signed March 23rd, 2004 • Blue Print SURFnet6 finalized in September 2004

  5. SURFnet’s new Industry Partners (2004-2010) • Leader of the consortium • Optical equipment • Ethernet equipment • Network management equipment • Routing equipment • Installation services • Maintenance services

  6. SURFnet6 overview • Realization of a hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure • Based on customer-owned managed dark fiber • Native IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning over a single transmission infrastructure • Managed via a single control plane • Network from 20 routed locations to 2 routed locations Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid

  7. SURFnet6 on dark fiber • SURFnet6 will be entirely based on own dark fiber • Over 5300 km fiber pairs available today; average price paid for 15 year IRUs: < 6 EUR/meter per pair • Managed dark fiber infrastructure will be extended with new routes, to be ready for SURFnet6

  8. SURFnet6: IP Services • IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity • Unicast • Multicast • 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections • Small routed IP core in Amsterdam at two separate locations • Congestion-free via overprovisioning • Resilient

  10. SURFnet6: Light Path Provisioning • Lambdas form an excellent basis for IP networking • Enables users or applications to create layer 1/2 end-to-end Light Paths • Provides excellent quality on point-to-point connections at very high speed (1-10G) • Light Paths aren’t constrained by traditional framing, routing, and transport protocols • Lambdas are becoming an integral part of scientific instruments • Enables creation of Optical Private Networks (OPN)
