Presentation Transcript

  1. SURFnet’s connections to StarLight Erik-Jan Bos Manager Network Services SURFnet STAR TAPSM INET 2001 Annual Meeting Stockholm, Sweden - June 5th, 2001

  2. Overview • GigaPort project status report Overview SURFnet5 External Connectivity • SURFnet’s connections to STAR TAP and StarLight

  3. SURFnet4 topology

  4. Specifications of SURFnet5 • 100 times as fast as SURFnet4 • IP over optical transmission infrastructure • 80 Gbit/s backbone - 20 Gbit/s access • Introduction of new IP features, e.g. • Authentication and Classes of Service • IPsec, multicast and IPv6 • MPLS, VPN and Traffic Engineering (FRR) • In partnership with industry

  5. SURFnet5: Pre-production network POS framing at 10 Gbit/s Concentrator (15x) FRR Telfort’s DWDM network: always two different routes POS framing at 10 Gbit/s Hempoint SARA

  6. SURFnet5 topology

  7. Amsterdam SARA

  8. Amsterdam Hempoint

  9. External connectivity - Current situation • Amsterdam Internet Exchange: 2 Gbit/s • TEN-155: 622 Mbit/s via resilient gigabit ethernet • Global Internet: 1 Gbit/s • Abilene: 155 Mbit/s, STAR TAP: 155 Mbit/s • Partners: Teleglobe en Level3 • Services: IPv4 unicast and multicast, IPv6

  10. External connectivity - New contracts (1) Tender for Global Internet connectivity: • 2x 1 Gbit/s resilient connection • 2x VPN-like service to Chicago, IL, USA • Trans-Atlantic lambda for research (2.5G initially, 10G upgrade in 2002 likely)

  11. External connectivity - New contracts (2) Tender almost done, status: • Global Crossing, contracted: 1x gigabit/s global Internet and VPN-like service • Teleglobe, preferred supplier: 1x gigabit/s global Internet, VPN-like service, and trans-Atlantic lambda for research • Planning: Up-and-running on July 1st, 2001 except lambda (not later than September 2001)

  12. Topology being built

  13. Building out • Set-up of StarLight counterpart in Amsterdam, by Cees de Laat of UvA, working on G-MPLS, OBGP • Securing projects and lambdas to the project infra to work, inside The Netherlands: • CAVE at SARA, NIKHEF, DAS, Astronomy (JIVE/ASTRON), Biophysics, Weather forecasting (KNMI), Video • European lambda connections to Amsterdam welcome, various NRNs currently working on this
