Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California Planning for next Optical Network Dave Reese, CTO 4th CEF Networks Workshop Prague - 20-Sep-2007
CENIC • Formed in 1996 as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation • Serving CalTech/JPL, California State University System, Stanford University, University of California System, University of Southern California (USC), California K-12, Nevada System of Higher Education, Arizona State University, University of Arizona • $70 million US annual budget • ~9,000 campuses, ~10,000,000 users, 35 staff
CENIC Services Today • Layer 1 (~4,000 route km fiber) • Cisco 15808 LH DWDM backbone • OC-48,OC-192,10GE LANPHY • Cisco 15540 DWDM metro • 1GE, 10GE LANPHY • Layer 2 • Limited (custom) services • Layer 3 • CalREN/DC: production/commodity services • OC-48 backbone • CalREN/HPR: research network • 10GE LANPHY backbone
CENIC DWDM Backbone • Cisco 15808 DWDM Long Haul • Installed 2003 • End of support: Feb 2009 • Fixed add/drop (8 add/drop, 32 express) • Regen in one long span of backbone • 15808 transponders are fixed encoding • OC-48, OC-192 or 10GE LANPHY • Using 15454 MSTP chassis as ‘front-end’ with 15454 transponders due to 15808 end-of-sale
Upgrade Planning • Technical Advisory Committees • Committees composed of CENIC ‘member’ institutions’ technical staff • Review needs, requirements and discuss/propose designs • Committee accepts design
CalREN/DC DesignDigital California • 10GE backbone • Multi-year bandwidth upgrade plan • IPV6, jumbo frame are required features • Cisco CRS-1 and 124xx routers • Will use some DWDM optics for backbone links as cost reduction

CalREN/HPRHigh Performance Research • Include ‘hybrid’ services in addition to IP routed services • Layer 1 will provide switched lambda services for one or more 10Gb lambdas • Layer 2 will be a switched Ethernet providing 1Gb and 10Gb connections • Layer 3 will support one or more 10Gb LANPHY to every connected institution • RFP to be issued “soon”

Optical Design • Design requirements in progress • Anticipated to include • ROADM/WSS • Eliminate regen points • 40G/100G upgrade capability • 80 channel upgrade capability • Lambda switching services • “Alien” (transponderless) wave support
Upgrade Issues • Optical transition planning • Additional fiber pairs no longer available • Taking backbone down for a week of migration is not acceptable • Space/power limitations • Router power requirements are pushing the limits of power availability • Amplifier sites are now being limited too
