  1. Chiaro’s Enstara™ Summary • Scalable Capacity • 6 Tb/S Initial Capacity • GigE  OC-192 Interfaces • “Soft” Forwarding Plane With Network Processors For Maximum Flexibility • Full protocol suite • Unicast: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS • Multicast: PIM, MBGP, MSDP • MPLS: RSVP-TE, LDP, FRR • Stateful Assured Routing (STAR™) • Provides Service Continuity During Maintenance and Fault Management Actions • Stateful Protocol Protection Extended to BGP, ISIS, OSPF, Multicast, and MPLS • Partitions • Abstraction Permitting Multiple Logical Classes Of Routers To Be Managed As If Separate Physical Routers • Each Partition Has Its Own CLI, SNMP, Security, and Routing Protocols Instances

  2. We Chose OptIPuter for Fast Switching and Scalability Chiaro Optical Phased Array MEMS Bubble Electrical Fabrics Large Port Count Electrical Fabrics Small Port Count Lithium Niobate l Switching Speeds (ms) Packet Switching Speeds (ns)

  7. UCSD Chiaro Estara • Full Layer-3 Router Operating at 10ns • Chiaro Estara Router Chassis • Installed November 18, 2002 • 24 1 GigE Network Interfaces • Spring 2003 • Expandable to: • 320 x 10 GigE Network Interfaces = 6.4 Terabit/s • All Capable Or Concurrent Routing At Full Line Speed • Webcam • http://132.239.26.190/view/view.shtml

  8. The Center of the Network

  9. Status as of about 15 minutes ago • The hardest thing in networking – getting fiber in the ground and terminated • 4 pair single mode fiber per site • Fiber terminated Monday (3 days ago) – fiber “polishing” still ongoing  • First light/first packet yesterday (wed) at about 6pm • Ran linpack at about 6:05pm • Currently two sites are connected • Linux Cluster at each site as a baseline. Sizes/capability/architecture vary as needed (and $$) change. • 4 x 1 gigE @ CSC • 4 x 1 gigE @ SDSC • Chiaro • Serial #1 production router. “Tiny size”: • One redundant pair of optical cores – 640 gigabits. Can grow to 6+ Terabits • We have alpha/beta gigE blades from Chiaro • OptIPuter getting these 3 – 4 months ahead of schedule • Chose multiple gigE striped physically because • Cost at the site end • Start parallel • From the endpoint view – Chiaro works just like a standard router.

  10. Netperf Numbers (data at first light) • 2 streams  more than 1 gigabit (aggregate)

  11. Linpack Numbers • 4 processor Linpack • Run through local copper gigE switch • Run through Chiaro Router
