  1. Overview SURFnet6 Niels den Otter SURFnet EVN-NREN Meeting Amsterdam October 12, 2005

  2. SURFnet • Provides the Dutch National Research Network • Not for profit company, 55 employees • 100% subsidiary of Stichting SURF • 170 connected organizations, 750.000 users • Infrastructure services: • innovation paid for by government • cost effective exploitation for higher education and research

  3. GigaPort Research dependent on advanced networks Networks for research Research on networks GigaPort project overview

  4. Timelines SURFnet6

  5. SURFnet6 overview • A hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure • Based on SURFnet-owned managed dark fiber all the way to the customers premises • Native IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning over a single transmission infrastructure • Managed via a single control plane • Network nodes reduced from 20 routed locations to 2 routed locations Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid

  6. SURFnet’s Industry Partner • Leader of the consortium • Optical equipment • Ethernet equipment • Network management equipment • Routing equipment • Installation services • Maintenance services

  11. Lightpaths • A lightpath is an end-to-end transmission path with fixed characteristics • Characteristics of a lightpath: Flexible, reliable, secure, economical and high-speed (up to 10 Gbit/s) • Lightpaths are not constrained by traditional framing, routing, and transport technologies • The network is becoming an integral part of the scientific instrument: Lightpaths are the building blocks
