Update on the TransLight / Pacific WaveIRNC ProNet Project David Lassner University of Hawaii david@hawaii.edu
TL/PW Primary Objectives Provide full domestic support for AARNET’s two 10Gbps circuits from Australia to Hawaii (including Mauna Kea) to the West Coast Assist the Pacific Wave distributed exchange in supporting the numerous additional international R&E circuits that terminate at West Coast locations Coordinate with IRNC partners to ensure network availability and availability of new services as needed and funded, including standardized network monitoring infrastructure and dynamic circuit services Install and maintain new international links, including emerging links from Pacific Islands, and bandwidth upgrades to existing links as funding and feasibility permit Partners • PI : David Lassner, University of Hawaii • Co-PIs : Ron Johnson & Ed Lazowska, PNWGP & UW Jim Dolgonas, CENIC • AARNet & many international network collaborators
Pacific Wave: Flexible International Connectivity Pacific Wave is a joint project between CENIC and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop (PNWGP) PWave pioneered a novel architecture, an open distributed exchange Participants at any PWave connection point (LA, Sunnyvale, Seattle) can interconnect in multiple transparent ways of their own choosing

TLPW PerfClub • Monthly “support group” teleconference for TLPW-related networks, GMT = 3rd Monday, 22:00Z • Email list tlpw-perfclub • IRNC (our grant program) promotes international connections, so we seek Asia/Pacific research networks to collaborate with. • Planning/Using pS-PS? Take our survey: • https://uscits.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1N3MrbXZQ7E8k72 • Contact me: alan@hawaii.edu
PerfSonar Deployment • Still preliminary with active nodes in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth • Members of the AARNet and TLPW communities • Mainly for throughput testing at moment, but latency servers will be deployed once issue of clocksync resolved • Currently 1Gbps connected • Issues with clocksync – no CDMA in Australia – so GPS required – that can be a big issue with high rise based PoPs – the equipment is in the basement!
CAIDA co-operation • CAIDA Archiplego Project (ARK) • http://www.caida.org/projects/ark/ • Large-scale traceroute-based topology measurements • Measurement (IPv4/IPv6) nodes in Sydney and soon Perth • IPv6 Day June 8th 2011 • http://v6day.ripe.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi
Looking Ahead More international 10-Gbps connections expected Pacific Wave upgrade to 100Gbps Advancing our network performance capabilities Implementation of dynamic provisioning Continuing focus on R&E applications, end-to-end performance, service to research communities Focus on Oceania
