1. update Joint Techs Workshop Minneapolis, MN – 12 February 2007 Damir Pobrić, Sr. Network Engineer (damir.pobric@canarie.ca)

2. CANARIE Canada’s Advanced Networking Organization Legal status: Not-for-profit, public-private partnership Incorporated 1993 18 member Board: half industry, half institutional Institutional Bd. members include 3 VPRs, 1 Dean and 1 CIO Mandate: Core is a blend of R&E network management and next-generation internet project From 1993-2004 also managed numerous application development programs Funding: Funded by the Federal Government Current round of funding for CAnet 4 was $126 million, incl. interest Period covered: April 1, 2002 - March 31, 2007 CANARIE funding renewal proposal submitted to Government: outlook is good however no announcements yet Fees: No user fees for domestic users $2,500 annual institutional membership fees in CANARIE Inc. Marginal cost recovery charges to international users

3. CAnet 4 infrastructure • infrastructure, rather than a network • designed to support many independent IP networks/platforms and enable Users to manipulate network elements through software abstraction • consists of OC-192 wavelengths leased from carriers and terminated on CANARIE SONET switches • hybrid service offering; majority of capacity for LightPaths • 2 new ROADM network projects w/ objectives: • meet continuing growing 10G demand of large-scale e-science • enable deployment of 10G to the desktop through partnership and DWDM interconnect with ORANs and their members in BC, Alberta, Ontario and Québec • co-management of the optical infrastructure

5. Eastern ROADM Networks • 2000+ km of fibers, 34 active sites • 20Y IRU from Level3 (through FiberCo) • 14Y IRU from TELUS • Chicago – Windsor/Detroit – Toronto – Ottawa – Montréal – Boston – New York • In partnership with ORANO • Windsor / Detroit – Ottawa portion will be co-managed • Will interconnect with new CANARIE-funded RISQ ROADM network • Interconnection with Internet2 Meriton ROADM network in Detroit and sharing of racks between Ann Arbour and Chicago

6. Eastern ROADM

7. Western ROADM • 1500 km of fibers, 22 sites • 12Y IRU from Bell Canada • Seattle – Victoria – Vancouver – Kamloops – Kelowna – Calgary • In partnership with BCNET and NETERA • to be co-managed

8. Western ROADM

9. ROADM site detail

10. Nortel CPL/eROADM • 72 lambda (C-band 50 GHz) DWDM transport platform • supports 10 GbE/OC-192; will support 40G without hardware overhaul • Self-optimizing electronic dispersion compensation • automatic dynamic power balancing • network planning, engineering, configuration and deployment are simplified and automated • Modular architecture that scales incrementally • Management on a per wavelength granularity

11. What is UCLP? • CANARIE program, 3 development proposals funded: CRC-Inocybe-i2CAT-Ud'O, UQAM-Ud'O, Solana Networks • User Controlled LightPaths – a network virtualization and management tool built using web services. • Resources can be grouped and given to dedicated individuals or organizations creating Articulated Private Networks (APN). • Via the service interface, APN owner can establish cross-connections, change bandwidth or lease their resources. • Uses Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and so network can be integrated with other web service applications

15. CAnet 4 services offerings: layer 1, layer 3, and UCLP L1: sub-rate and 1 GbE, and 10GbE LightPaths (over OC-12c, OC-24c, and OC-192c) to Users L3: 1 GbE connections to ORAN Users mainly UCLP: web service workflow based software provisioning tool which permits Users to provision and re-engineer LightPaths at will, to create and manipulate their own Articulated Private Networks service policy: best efforts regular business hour NOC (Ottawa time) 7/24/365 duty engineer available by pager 4 hour response from carriers NBD parts replacement in case of infrastructure failure is up to the User to design redundancy as required, e.g. obtain 2 diverse LightPaths

16. CAnet 4 services coming soon hybrid infrastructure a mix of ROADM/fibre and carrier OC-192 wavelengths services lambda: 10GbE and OC-192 L1: GbE and 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 10GbE over LAN Phy port and VCAT (over one or two diverse paths using VCAT+LCAS) L3: possible 10GbE router upgrade in 2008-2009? UCLP expanded to support private (virtual) L3 routing services network innovation: web services of large-scale instruments and any scale sensors working with Cdn industry to advance adoption of SOA technologies

17. Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF)

18. international exchange points GLIF founding participant and GLORIAD partner GLIF Open LightPath Exchange (GOLE) model - facilitate international interconnections - minimize quantity of colo, equipment and cards required - minimize call blocking probability at optical exchange points CANARIE: GOLE Operator in Chicago (StarLight), co-managed with StarLight in Seattle, co-managed with PNWGP User can call CANARIE, local partner, or use UCLP CANARIE: GOLE User CAnet 4 NYC-Amsterdam OC-192 terminates on Internet2 MAN LAN, and SURFnet NetherLight GOLEs

19. CANARIE’s Direction: Towards the Lambda Grid Some Current Projects • ATLAS Canada • Support of Gridx1 and provision of 10 Gbps lightpath to CERN • Canadian Virtual Observatory • DB2 Integrated Cluster Environment at Herzberg Institute in Victoria. • Neptune Canada • Integrated instruments, databases, visualization • Canadian Light Source • Instruments and lightpaths as grid services • WestGrid • SMP at UofA, Cluster at UBC and Storage at SFU. • Eucalyptus • Carleton U Architectural Collaborative Design • McGill Neurological Brain Scan Database • In partnership with UCSD • CINEGRID • Ryerson U • Environment Canada ECOnet • NRC NRnet II
