GLIF 2003 The GLIF TEC • TEC first met in Reykjavik, Iceland in August 2003 • Second meeting in Nottingham, UK in September 2004 • Interim TEC meeting @JTs in February 2005
GLIF Engineering (TEC) Working Group • Identify procedures and building blocks: • Optical Exchanges (with assorted services) • Links • Create an international network map of participant resources • Understand application requirements for SC 2004 and iGrid2005 • What does it mean to connect to GLIF? What does it mean to bring equipment to GLIF?
GLIF Best Current Practices • Develop a GLIF Best Current Practices document to assure the interoperability and interconnectivity of participating networks • Definition of Optical Exchange: • Building blocks • Not implementations • Framing in the GLIF: ITU-T Recommendation G.7041/Y.1303 Generic Framing Procedure
Optical Exchange example: NetherLight • Operational since January 2002 • Now centered around Nortel Networks HDXc, a full duplex 640G non-blocking cross-connect capability, running production since September 1, 2004 • Nortel Networks OME6500 and Cisco Systems 15454 for GE grooming; GE switch for access to clusters

Current status GigaPort NG Network • Project started January 1, 2004 (- December 2008) • Builds on GigaPort project ending in 2003, which resulted in SURFnet5 • Research on Networks • Networks for Research: • Contract Industry Partner signed March 23, 2004 • Blue Print SURFnet6 fixed on September 23, 2004
SURFnet’s new Industry Partners (2004-2010) • Optical equipment • Ethernet equipment • Network management equipment • Routing equipment • Installation services • Maintenance services
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
