SingAREN21 The Singapore Advanced Research & Education Network
Outline • Funding Agency & Partners • Network Infrastructure • Broadband R&D Projects • Optical Network Project • IPv6 Project • Future Directions
Nanyang Technological University Temasek Polytechnic Funding Agency & Partners Funded by : Hosted by : Project Partners :
ILS bandwidth of 7 Mbps (CBR) and 25 Mbps (VBR-nrt). SingAREN has a PoP in San Jose to aggregate all its US traffic. PoP provides control over the amount and type of in-bound traffic entering SingAREN’s 32Mbps international link. US local connections to StarTAP & Abilene at 45 Mbps & 155 Mbps respectively. Network Configuration :
Network Utilization • Singapore-US link • Singapore-Korea link
Network R&D Projects • 10 Network Related Projects • Service Creation in Broadband & Wireless N/W • Multi-protocol Lambda Switching for Optical N/W • Managing DiffServ on QBONE • Measurement-based Admission Ctrl for DiffServ • Process-Oriented Simulation for Hi-speed Network • TDMA-based Satellite Network • Multicast QoS • QoS Routing Protocol • Advanced Internet POP Architecture & Services • Dynamic Transport Layer Protocols
Application R&D Projects • 7 Application Projects • Digital Library Infrastructure for Distributed Geospatial Data • Distributed Simulation: Scalability, Interoperability and Application • High speed Information Retrieval, Processing & Management • Distributed E-Commerce Agents on High Speed Networks • Highly Scalable Video Codec • Virtual Reality Interface for Web-based Remote Experimentation • Packet Voice over Non-QoS Network
Kent Ridge Advanced Network • Campus-wide optical network testbed for grid technologies and research • Inter-faculty, research institute collaborative R&D • Funded by A*STAR • 18-month project focus on: • optical networking, layer-2 networking • grid computing middleware • Network vendor participation

IPv6 Configuration • International IPv6 connectivity - 6TAP, Abilene, Korea NGIX, MIMOS • IPv6 Architecture - using a dual stack Cisco 7505 router running IOS 12.2T • Peering- SingAREN provides peering services using BGP4+. - Native IPv6 peers: 6TAP, Abilene, APAN (Korea) - Tunnelled IPv6 peers: 6NGIX, MIMOS, ICR, SoC • IPv6 address - assigned with 3FFE:1600::/24 (6BONE) & 2001:208::/35 (global) - pseudo TLA and sub TLA for Singapore.
IPv6 Project • To introduce and spearhead the deployment of IPv6 technologies. • Key objectives: • Provide native IPv6 internet connectivity and service to the IPv6 community by deploying an IPv6 exchange point. • Gain IPv6 deployment experience by deploying an IPv6 infrastructure and services. • Design and implement IPv6 transition service for the integration of IPv4 and IPv6 networks. • Develop an IPv6 deployment model for campus network and service provider.
IPv6 Project IPv6 Project • Deployment of Singapore IPv6 Internet Exchange (SIX) • Provide connectivity to IPv6 internet • Interconnect other IPv6 nodes. • Existing tunneled nodes can migrate to native IPv6 connection • New IPv6 nodes interconnect at the SIX via tunneling or direct IPv6 connection. • SingAREN assign IPv6 address to participating nodes. • Nodes can participate/contribute to the development/ deployment/testing of IPv6 technologies/solutions. • Deployment of IPv6 network and services • Internet services (DNS, web, ftp, etc) to service the IPv6 community at SIX
Future Directions • Role of SingAREN as R&E network service provider • Rising need for R&E bandwidth – cheaper bandwidth? • Separation of experimental facility from more reliable production facility • Activities in life sciences will significantly increase demand for bandwidth • Challenges and opportunities for optical networks • Challenges and opportunities with seamless wireless connectivity
