ORIENTplus: The super highway for R&E collaboration between Europe and China Erik-Jan Bos (NORDUnet) TNC2013 – Maastricht, The Netherlands – June 5, 2013
Contents • History • ORIENTplus Project • Updated status • Use case examples • Future plans
History • ORIENT: 2007 – 2010 • IP routed link between Copenhagen and Beijing • Speed: 2.5 Gbit/s
ORIENTplus, an Introduction • Time period: 2011 – 2014 • Partners: • China: CERNET and CSTNET • Europe: European NRENs and DANTE (coord) • Budget: 4 million euro • Sponsored by the European Commission, Chinese Government and the partner European NRENs • Aims: • To continue a direct link between China and Europe for R&E, and increase its speed • To stimulate further development of services • To promote the use of the services
ORIENTplus Link Planning • Timeline for the Link: • 2011: Copenhagen-Beijing at 2.5G (CERNET, supplied by TeliaSonera) • 2012: London-Beijing at 2.5G (CSTNET, supplied by China Unicom as result of tender) • 2013&2014: London-Beijing at 10G (EU partners, supplied by China Unicom as result of tender)
ORIENTplus, start • ORIENTplus started as a continuation from the ORIENT project
ORIENTplus, the move to 10G • 10 Gbit/s milestone reached on January 2nd, 2013 • A 10G lambda between London and Beijing
CERNET: biggest NREN in China • Fibre network backbone 100G(40λ) DWDM • Core IP network backbone 100G • 31 provinces and over 200 cities • 38 PoPs • Over 2000 universities and institutes • 30M users
CSTNET: S&T Network in China • Backbone 10G • 12 sub centers • Over 20 provinces • Over 100 research institutes • Over 1M end users
CNGI-CERNET2 IPv6 Backbone • Backbone 10G to 40G/100G • 25 PoPs in 20 cities • Over 260 IPv6 access networks, most of them /48 IPv6 addresses • 2M end users

Moving to the new link • New 10G link delivered in December 2012 as planned, by China Unicom • Traffic cut over from old 2.5G link to new 10G link happened on January 2, 2013 as planned MRTG view on the link on January 2, 2013

Back-up for ORIENTplus • Distance London – Beijing: 8250 km (ATCF) • IP backup for ORIENTplus link through: • 10G Internet2/NSF link Beijing – Los Angeles • Internet2's routed IP network • ACE Project's multi-10G North Atlantic lambdas • ORIENTplus is also backup for Beijing-Los Angeles, as a mutual backup • Thus, creating a multi-G IP routed infrastructure for R&E across the Northern Hemishpere
Link Usage (1) Over 25 substantial scientific and educational collaborative projects and programmes are using the ORIENT/ORIENTplus route: • CERN Collaboration: LHC project (IHEP-IN2P3), South East University with CERN • Shanghai Astronomical Observatory – JIVE • INFN-ARGO YBJ • EMBnet • EUChinaGrid • GEONETCast-EUMETSAT • 1000 Genomes Project
Link Usage (2) • INWA-GRID • CEOP-AEGIS and DRAGON2 • Shanghai Jiao Tong University – University of Essex • Bridge-Grid • ITER - the global fusion energy programme • Global atmospheric research, remote robotic experiments, etc.
Future Plans • Further develop shared operations of the link between CNGI-6IX NOC and GEANT NOC • Deployment of tools and services for R&E such as: • PerfSONAR • eduroam • Dynamic point to point links, using the Open Grid Forum's NSI Architecture • Stimulating the use of the link
ORIENTplus: An opportunity for your users • High-speed Routed IP and Point-to-Point links between Europe and China available for Research and Education • You can... • Help us promote the usage of the link in your PR material • Inform the users you talk to about ORIENTplus • Feedback any opportunity for ORIENTplus back to the Project partners
