  2. Three Networks Servicing R&E Communities in Taiwan • Three networks in Taiwan provide network services for the R&E communities • TANet, funded by the Minitry of Education, leases bandwidth from commodity vendors. It services higher education and K-12. • TANet2, funded by the National Science Council, is operated by the NCHC • ASNet, gets funding largely from the NSC, is managed by the Academia Sinica • The circuit acquisition is thus sometimes a tripartite effort, done jointly

  3. TANet2 and TWAREN • TANet2 is a national research network. It has been in operation since 1998 to service R&D • TWAREN is the next version of TANet2, re-designed with three levels of services –production, research and optical networks. TWAREN (TaiWan Advanced Research & Eduction Network) • The production network of TWAREN has just begun operation. Its research network and optical network are being implemented. • The two networks share the same circuits for international connectivity. Both managed by the NCHC.

  4. Edmonton CA*Net4 Vancouver Halifax Winnipeg Calgary Montreal 1 GbE StarTap Toronto StarLight STM-16 (2.5G) Abilene Taipei TANet2 TWAREN • Trans-Pacific link to Seattle is at STM-16 • Link from Seattle to STARLight was upgraded to STM-4. • An additional 1GbE lightpath from CANARIE serves as TaiwanLight Connections to North Americafor TANet2 and TWAREN STM - 4

  5. CA*Net4 Abilene StarTap StarLight Palo Alto 2.5 Gbps TANet 1.2 Gbps 1.2 Gbps ASnet • For ASNet, link to STARLight to be upgraded to 1.2 Gbps in April, 2004(currently at STM-4) • Commodity links (dotted red line) for both netoworks total 3.7 Gbps Connections to North America for TANet and ASNet

  6. Connections to Other Regions • ASNet (operated by ASCC, seat of APAN-TW NOC) • To date, connections to Asia and Europe are largely made by ASNet. Joint leasing by the three networks will be common in the future • Connections to Asia • APAN Tokyo-XP: 155  622 Mbps (Feb, ‘04) • Hong Kong: 155 Mbps • Singapore: 155 Mbps (activated 2. 20.2004) • AMSIX (Amsterdam, activated in April 2004). • The 155 Mbps link to UK will be terminated in March 2004.

  7. Tokyo-XP 622 Mbps 1GbE Lightpath 2.5 Gbps 2.8 Gbps Taiwan 622 Mbps 155 Mbps 1.2 Gbps Hong Kong HARNet Amsterdam AMSIX 155 Mbps Singapore SingAREN International Links from Taiwan -- A Summary

  8. Meshes in with APAN Infrastructure • Taiwan is a well-connected APAN member • Meshes well in the APAN infrastructure fabric • For other R&E networks in Asia Pacific region, Taiwan is very well-suited as an access point for peering and transit; and its multiple links as backup routes for other links. • Asian-Pacific PoPs Links to HK and Sg make TW, HK and SG equivalent PoPs which may serve as access points for other APAN networks
