Presentation Transcript

  1. Cross Border Fiber - towards the revolution in NREN international connectivity • Artur Binczewski(Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center) • Stanislaw Starzak (Technical University of Lodz) • Maciej Stroinski (Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center) • Internet2 meeting • Philadelphia,19th September 2005

  2. CBF Initiatives – Reason of communication revolution in Central/Eastern Europe • Extremely high cost of capacity in Central/Eastern Europe • structure of NREN budget* • 50% cost of national communication • 25% cost of GÉANT network • 25% cost of Internet access • Development of bilateral cooperation (NRENs, Universities, etc.) • Access to cheap and effective technologies (CWDM/DWDM, 10/1 GE) • Process of building or leasing the Cross Border Fibersstarted 2001 ! • * Study of Stanislaw Sima CESNET

  3. PIONIER Cross Border Fiber directions

  4. Fibers links in PIONIER Installed fibers Fibers+pipes:installed(end of Sep. 2005) (end of 2006) planned 2007

  5. Used CBF links and NRENs’ own fibers in CE/EE • CBF connectivity • Austria • Czech Republic • Poland • Slovakia • Operational since 2004

  6. CBF results • Relatively easy installation (@ 1Gbit/s) – 120km LH coloured GBICs • The same technology - PIONIER, CESNET, ACONET & SANET operate with 10GE/1GE • Free of charge access to national peering exchange points • Quite difficult coordination of the CBF infrastructure management: • Link troubleshooting in layer 2 • VLAN number assingnment coordination (how to find a VLAN number which is free in all NRENs?) • Coordination of configuration tasks • Free of charge model is limited by the finite bandwidth of partners • Incentives for installation of additional channels

  8. e-Region concept • e-Region objectives: • Creation of a rational base and possibility of collaborative work between institutions across the border, as defined by e-Europe program. (...) education, medicine, natural disasters, information databases, protection of environment, etc. • Enhancing the abilities of co-operation by developing new generation of services and applications. • Promoting the region in the Europe (as a micro scale of e-Europe concept)

  9. RUSSIA LITHUANIA PORTA OPTICA BELARUS GERMANY e-Region e-Region e-Region UKRAINE CZECH REP. SLOVAKIA CDF as e-Region infrastructure

  10. Where is the digital divide?

  11. „Porta Optica – a coordinated task...

  12. „Porta Optica – a distributed optical gateway from GEANT to EE” • A chance for closer scientific collaboration by means of provision multichannel/multilambda connections between neighboring countries of CE/EE. • An easy way to extend GEANT to Eastern European countries – the case study of CBF connectivity to be applied for the whole Europe.

  13. Porta Optica • Proposal has been accepted by EC in the last FP6 call • The ultimate goal of PORTA OPTICA is the creation and further development of communication network and consolidation of the initiatives to ensure the successful, fiber optics-based research network deployment in the Eastern Europe , Baltic states and Southern Caucasus regions” - SSA • 12 participants • kick-off: 01.12.2005 • project duration: 1 year

  14. CBF - Summary • CBF infrastructure in Central/Eastern Europe is shared to support the following goals: • providing the transparent lambdas for pan-european GÉANT network • providing the dedicated lambdas for bilateral cooperation between NRENs • providing equal access to all NRENs to Internet Exchange Points DECREASING THE OPERATIONAL COSTS OF NRENS BETTER AND CHEAPPER SERVICES TO USERS

  15. POLISH OPTICAL INTERNET Thank You for Your kind attention
