  1. Abilene update Steve Corbató Director, Backbone Network Infrastructure Internet2 International Task Force Los Angeles 28 October 2002

  2. Next Generation Abilene status • 10 of 11 next generation router nodes in place • Deploying two racks in each location: Juniper T640 router & four measurement servers • OC-48c SONET interconnects to Cisco 12008 routers • Atlanta awaiting co-location site selection • Very pleased to date with new router performance and interoperability with 1st generation backbone • Transcontinental 10-Gbps ’s in place • Six ’s connected to network • DC-NYC-Chicago-Indy-KC-Sunnyvale CA-Los Angeles • First  outage (3.5 hours): fiber cut in NYC • ITEC network performance validation test • 8 Gbps of 2-way traffic (v4 and v6 mix) transmitted transcontinentallywithout loss or reordering

  3. Upgrade schedule overview • Aug/Sep – New backbone routers installed • Sep/Oct – ‘First wave’ turn-up • Fall 2002 – Connector & peer circuits migrated to new routers • 2003 – Remaining 10-Gbps ’s commissioned

  4. Native IPv6 deployment • Abilene is now running native IPv6 over the entire Cisco 12008 and Juniper T640 backbone • Dual stack mode • IS-ISv6 used for internal routing • Significant number of peers and connectors already have converted • Tunnel support consolidated • IU-NOC provides support for existing tunnels • Not accepting any new tunnels • Abilene provided addressing • 2001:468::/35 from ARIN for participants – 63% allocated • 3ffe:3700::/24 from 6bone for SEGP / sponsored users • Native IPv6 (UCSD iGrid demo: 400 Mbps v6 SD-AMS) • Kudos to Abilene NOC, IPv6 WG, Cisco, and Juniper

  7. NGA international update • IEEAF transatlantic donations • 10-Gbps  (unprotected) and OC-12c SONET links • ’s from Los Angeles to Amsterdam! • Now links Abilene in NYC and SURFnet in Amsterdam • Joint effort in time for iGrid2002, Amsterdam (9/2002) • Working collaboratively to extend reach in Europe • GEANT and GTRN • Importance of NYC router move • 32 Avenue of the Americas is strategic carrier hotel (FMMR) • MAN LAN int’l R&E exchange point – GigE/10GigE switch • Collaborators: NYSERNET, Indiana U, IEEAF, DANTE • Other key international exchange point locations • Chicago (StarLight), Miami (AMPATH), Seattle (P/WAVE) • 10 Gig Ethernet to Star Light now and P/WAVE when ready

  8. Abilene international connectivity model • Abilene is a GTRN partner • Already peering with GTRN router in New York City • Peering at major int’l EPs in U.S. encouraged • Chicago: Star Light (migration from STAR TAP) • Seattle: Pacific Wave • Miami: AMPATH • New York City: MAN LAN • Direct BGP peering preferred • via Layer-2 EP media or direct connection to Abilene router • ATM support generally ends by Sept 2003 • No new ATM peers

  9. Abilene Network objectives - 2003 • Advanced Services • Multicast - high performance • IPv6 - native, high performance • Resiliency • Security • Measurement • Active & passive capabilities • e2e performance initiative support • Abilene Observatory: correlated data archive for network research • Experimentation and collaboration • Abilene Observatory: experiment/overlay co-location • TeraGrid interconnection (LA and Chicgo) • 'Lambda Grid' experimentation • International connectivity • IEEAF collaboration (Europe, other regions?) • MAN LAN exchange point in NYC
