  1. Jacqueline Brown University of Washington Pacific Northwest Gigapop Internet2 Spring Meeting Arlington, VA USA April 8, 2003

  2. Pacific Wave International Peering Participants at the Pacific Wave peering exchange can… • Peer directly with major R&E networks worldwide; • Reduce costsassociated with IP traffic that would otherwise transit commercial carrier circuits; • Increase efficiencyby directing traffic as quickly as possible to the target network/organization; • Transfer IP traffic inclusive of multicast, IPv4, IPv6; • Access theNOC 24 x 7 x 365. Pacific Wave is also a recommended exchange point for peering with the Abilene/Internet2 network.

  4. Pacific Wave Facility • Located in a state-of-the-art facility in incumbent telecommunications carrier grade hotel in downtown Seattle • Many colocation options within the hotel • Easy-access fiber-meet-me-room used for Pacific Wave connections • Fully redundant environmentals (DC power, HVAC, battery backup, fire suppression) • 24x7 secure building and facility access

  5. Pacific Wave Architecture Abilene Big Iron Foundry Switch PNWGP Juniper Router CA*net3 . . . PNWGP Juniper Router Big Iron Foundry Switch AARNet An ATM free zone! Redundant Gigabit Ethernet switch architecture provides two subnets and 128Gbps throughput. Multicast enabled with PIM-SM snooping.

  6. Flexibility is the Design Key • Self-selected peerings—you peer with who you want. • Self-configured peerings—you control the BGP routes for your peering. • Any IP traffic accepted. • Significantly cheaper than Commodity Internet. • No AUP. • Support available 24 x 7 x 365. • Select either dual FE or dual GbE.

  7. Optional: Commodity Internet Transit • Available to all Pacific Wave Participants • Your ISP is the Pacific Northwest Gigapop • Service is multi-homed with the following vendors: Cable & Wireless Level3 NTT/Verio • 3Gbps total throughput structured over 3 independent, fully burstable Gigabit circuits • 7x24 NOC services • Use-based pricing with high-volume (50+Mbps/mo) pricing available

  13. Peer with PNWGP to reach these PNWGP Participants Microsoft Research NOAA Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Plus Major Research Universities of Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Montana; and Portland Research & Education Network

  14. PNWGP Partnerships, Memberships, & Affiliations • Asia Pacific Advanced Networks (APAN) • IEEAF/GEO/Tyco Telecommunications • Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) • The Quilt • PAIX Seattle Peering Interconnects • Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) • Northwest Access Exchange (NWAX) • ResearchChannel • KEXP Radio • DigitalWell

  15. Peering Initiatives The Quilt a project of UCAID Participants are non-profit advanced regional network organizations dedicated to advancing research and education in the United States The Quilt Peering Initiative Identifying and establishing regional, national, and international peering arrangements

  16. National Lambda Rail • National Lambda Rail (NLR) is an initiative that will offer fiber services in support of advanced research and educational activities. NLR is spearheaded through a cooperative partnership between the • Corporation for Network Initiatives in California (CENIC); • Pacific Northwest Gigapop & University of Washington; • U.S. Supercomputing Centers; and • Other major U.S. research and education based networking organizations.

  17. Futures • In Process: upgrade of Pacific Wave to support 10GbE connections • NLR will offer new opportunities: • Infrastructure for creation of new Pacific Wave nodes • Backhaul alternatives • 2003: IEEAF/GEO/Tyco Telecommunications 10-Gbps  from Japan to Seattle • Continued support of advanced applications (e.g., streaming media, HDTV applications)

  18. Implementation & Operations Partners In cooperation with IEEAF and Tyco, service design and implementation planning for a significant trans-Pacific circuit donation are underway today between these research and education groups: More Information will be provided as available.
