  1. NetherLight Walter van DijkTF-MSP meeting, Copenhagen, 15 September 2009

  2. Agenda • Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) • Function of GOLE’s • NetherLight • Service-definition • Organization • Future developments • External connectivity SURFnet • IP-layer (role AMS-IX) • Optical layer (role NetherLight) SURFnet, we make innovation work

  3. GLIF Vision Linking the World with Light Optical networks are the central architectural element in support of this decade’s most demanding e-science applications Hybrid networks are the next-generation networks with dedicated lightpaths for guaranteed high-speed few-to-few usage Research: Does not have any geographical boundaries Needs an interoperable and inclusive approach Needs world-wide collaboration and coordination GLIF, Linking the World with Light

  4. GLIF GLIF is about collaboration, sharing of knowledge, expertise and resources GLIF is not a network/provider nor a standards body GLIF has 49 participants that meet twice a year GLIF resources GLIF Open Lambda Exchanges (GOLE’s) Lambdas GOLE: Neutral and Open Exchange Point Where lambdas connect to Where lightpaths get cross-connected GLIF, Linking the World with Light

  5. Linking the World with Light GLIF, Linking the World with Light

  6. Service-definitionNetherLight (1) NetherLight provides: - long-distance Gigabit Ethernet tunnels - carved out of international lambda circuits - to and from destinations as diverse as Chicago, Geneva, Amsterdam, New York, London, Stockholm and Prague today, - with many more to come as the lambda grid expands. SURFnet, we make innovation work

  7. Service-definition NetherLight (2) •  Operational since January 2002 • Open optical infrastructure: • SONET/SDH cross-connect (Nortel HDXc) that interconnects lambdas & lightpaths • Gigabit Ethernet switching facility •  Interface types: • - STM-64 • - 10 Gigabit Ethernet • - 1 Gigabit Ethernet SURFnet, we make innovation work

  8. Organization •  NetherLight: realized & managed by SURFnet •  Infrastructure: located at SARA Amsterdam •  Operations: subcontracted •  Active monitoring: 24/7/365 •  Account management: available since 2009 SURFnet, we make innovation work

  9. Future developments Professionalizing operations: - strengthen customer support function - operational excellence - tariffs (cost-recovery) Dynamic GOLE: - dynamic lightpath services since 2008 - however: currently single domain ;-( - work in progress within GLIF & others SURFnet, we make innovation work

  10. External connectivity (IP-layer) SURFnet, we make innovation work

  11. External connectivity (Optical layer) • What is the NetherLight GOLE? SURFnet. We makeinnovationwork

  12. Thank you! Any questions? Walter van Dijk Walter.vanDijk@SURFnet.nl SURFnet. We makeinnovationwork
