STAR TAP and StarLight • STAR TAP: 5-year-old operational cross-connect of the world's high-performance Production R&E Networks 45-622Mb ATM • StarLight: optical evolution of STAR TAP connecting and switching/routing • Production Networks at 1Gb • Experimental Networks at 1Gb, 2.5Gb, and 10Gb • Research Networks at 10Gb • Funded by US NSF CISE ANIR, EIA and ACIR infrastructure grants to UIC, UIUC, NU, and IU • Enabling and sustaining support by ANL MCS
Who is StarLight? StarLight is jointly managed and engineered by: • International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR), Northwestern University • Joe Mambretti, David Carr, and Tim Ward • Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL), University of Illinois at Chicago • Tom DeFanti, Maxine Brown, Alan Verlo, Jason Leigh, Cliff Nelson, and Andy Schmidt • Mathematics and Computer Science Division (MCS) , Argonne National Laboratory • Linda Winkler, Bill Nickless, and Caren Litvanyi; Rick Stevens and Charlie Catlett
What/Where is StarLight? StarLight is an experimental optical infrastructure and proving ground for network services optimized for high-performance applications StarLight Assists $32M (FY2002-3) in experimental networks (I-WIRE, TeraGrid, OMNInet, SURFnet, CA*net4, DataTAG) 710 N.
